Rennlisters, I bought a 997 GT3 last December from Chris ( seller of the RB C2S ) and was very pleased with both the car and seller. He described the car accurately and helped me with all my concerns...it was a very smooth transaction.

Is he asking too much for the C2S ? Maybe !

Is he a stand up, reliable seller ? Absolutely !

Lastly, I am not interested in the C2S.

A quick comment on cars as financial investments.

Pretend the original buyer of this car in 1997 sold it today for $114,993, the buy it now price on Ebay.

Assuming a purchase price of $71,263 per the invoice, a 6% Florida sales tax, and a sale price of $114,993, the original owner would have realized an annual return of 2.8%.

That 2.8% return is before deducting for expenses such as insurance, property taxes and maintenance. After considering these unavoidable expenses, the original owner would realize an annual return of closer to .5%.

Very few cars turn out to be great financial investments. Most cars are meant to be driven and enjoyed.

Now if the original owner had passed on this car, and kept the '73 RS instead, they would have done a bit better.
