i doubt it, 25k for a 993 RS? You don't see many 993 C2 for 25k, and the post has been listed twice.

Yeah, the GT2 for $318k seems like, uh, a better deal.

That's my old car... Worth every penny. The car is as new...

Pretty agressive price in todays market, but it will fetch the big $$ if someone wants it...

Thanks for the post, great to see her agian...

Not in the USA you can't. Not cheap to import. Find me a club sport that has not been tracked and tracked...

This car is perfect, no track no rock chips...

Not sure why it is being advertised outside of the USA... It's greatest value is the fact it is imported and road leagal in the USA...

Joe. That is the car you let me drive? I loved that car and was sorry to hear that it had been sold.

It does look nice, but for a low miles immaculate lhd car in europe you would get the similar thing for approx $140k (no more than £100k) absolute max.......Good but less than "perfect" cars are still available for approx $105k, upwards ( I haven't included any taxes just current fx conversion rates).

I really must stop looking at these price threads, the only time the thought enters my mind about selling is when I am in front of the computer screen rather than behind the wheel!

^^^^
Do these prices matter for cars that didn't exist in the States and were individually imported? Like Pong's BTR, there are no comps, no "market."

What has become apparent with 911 RS/RSR over the last few years is they have become more commoditised as values have increased, we see cars come and go between UK, europe, Dubai, Japan etc...if $225k was the going rate, then I am sure the cars for sale would arbitrage that margin away...in fact if anyone needs a 26k mile CS delivered for $200k, I may be able to help?

I agree $225K is way overpriced, imported or not. Hell, for that kind of money you can buy a nice original 993 GT2 over here in Europe and still have cash on hand..
