Default eBay: the RS you're having when you're not having an RS

Here's another eBay listing. Noteworthy for it's paint and options alone, this could be turned into a remarkable "Hey that's an RS!" Bizzarro World 997 4S.

It's not to my taste, but I'm not against it for those with the folding stuff to have an indulgence like this -- and I enjoy seeing them at events from time to time.

Now that's odd, why isn't the factory Aerokit listed? Mine sure was!

What a wild color combo. Someone must have backed out when they learned that the GT3 is arriving.

WOW, it's the CHRISTMAS Porsche!

Did you notice the nice upcharge on the "Factory" Areokit for $8,200 ($6,990 from the factory) and red seat belts for $1,400 ($540 from the factory)? Nice "instant profit" of $2,070!

Old Porsche color, signal green. I like it, but would not have the courage to buy it.

This car has been on Ebay for at least 45 days if I remember correctly. It looks very neat, but it's kind of like, "It's a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there".

Right, it's definitely a suspect listing, but I think that's a given on eBay.

You're right. Signal green is a well known porsche vintage racing color.
The new RS will turn up in orange and green...I like it also, a lot actually.

Agreed, Signal Green it is a throw-back color. I didn't care for it back then and I don't like it now, so throw it back!

Think it looks really good.It would certainly attract a lot of attention in this part of the world.Most p cars here are black blue or silver(including mine!!),so few people give them a second glance.Its not for everyone but I do like a car which attracts attention but bright orange would be my preference-green is an unlucky colour for my family,over the years we have only ever had 4 green cars and they all ended up in accidents

I like the green but not the black wheels nor the red accented interior.

Another wheel copycat. Ah, but they all miss the details. I have the black wheel bolts.

Do you have a teflon socket -- how do you keep the black on the black lug bolts?
