Anybody buy or sell a 911R recently?

All I know is that my new M4 GT4 race car has AC and air con seats!! Soooooo...AC delete is absurd if you ask me.

Once you dress properly for track work - multiple nomex layers, balaclava, helmet, gloves - you quickly learn that car AC is a distant second to a Coolshirt, which is a distant second to Koolbox AC helmet system. Now if you track in t-shirt and shorts then sure car AC is great, but on the flip side you're just a Darwin-award in waiting.
My next RS will be AC delete because 1) I've only turned it on once in each of my last two RS's, 2) it's going to be a weight reduction project, and 3) I don't give a hoot about resale. Different horses for different courses....

Assuming you're so hardcore, how do you deal with defogging/misting in the car without ac?
Remember to post pics of your AC delete RS.. I hear you say it but...

I'm soft, I admit it....I get cold and hot easy. I need A/C to cool down and to defrost the front windows when it's cold and damp.

same way i dealt with it in my '69 Triumph GT6, '71 991T, '72 2002 Tii, '65 & '68 Mustangs and a bunch of other cars I owned that didn't have AC... only difference is I drove all those year-round rain, snow, or shine. RS I can choose when and where to drive. then again, I drove 997 RS to and from multiple track events in pouring rain with AC turned off so go figure. maybe it's different in Fogtown, USA but like I said different horses for different courses.
P.S. good timing on the Boxster Spyder sell.

Colorado/mountains as well. Hardly ever use my AC, normally only on way home from track. Never turned it on in two weeks in Europe during ED in July. I think the car would be perfect for this environment - wouldn't likely track it, mostly windows down mountain runs.

I would start bidding at $225,000.00, but I need AC in Miami...

It's funny reading the PFF forum in German where guys talk about the exact same thing;
e.g. R is grossly overpriced and values are on the way down to the low-mid 200's....
One thing I notice though is that they rib each other a lot more and there's a lot less whining about it.
