Default My 1997 RUF Turbo R is For Sale

My Turbo R is for sale, but I am selling it myself.

This thread originally contained a link to the car for sale at a dealer - so I have deleted the text.

I will be posting up a separate ad.

Patrick,
It is stunning! Good luck with the sale, and for whatever you choose next. You've been a great fellow Rufaholic, and you'll be missed.

Thanks guys. Hard to sell, but I simply haven't used it much. Typical story. Lots of regrets coming - I am sure of that.

I have been so lucky to have enjoyed it for the past 6+ years and now it is someone else's turn.

Nothing slated to replace it at this time. I have too many cars and not enough time to enjoy them. I still have an air-cooled 911, but at the other extreme as the RUF. Still has great sounds, feels mechanical, and gets the grins.

I have enjoyed maintaining and upgrading it as much as driving it. It really is in excellent shape, cosmetically and mechanically.

Patrick,
That's one amazing RUF! I've been an admirer of your car for many years now. Such a fine example of a great car. Someone's going to get lucky! Thanks for all your contributions over the years!

Someone's going to end up with a spectacular RUF....very well sorted, can't believe the milage is that high! You've kept the ruf in great shape. I'm guessing this will not last the weekend. Todd
