Default Anyone know this RS?

Anyone know this car? Friend is shopping 997 GT cars. Looks like front lift is engaged? Also it's filthy.

Thanks,

Rey

That's the 3rd Aqua Blue Metallic I've seen for sale in the last month!

If my double vision is right, the rear tires atleast are still original from 2010. Tire stamp is 2410. Probably needs to be replaced no?

Otherwise, price is at the right point. I wonder what the DME will show.

I checked into that car a few months ago. The car has been shipped back and forth to germany. Was used as a track car at some point. most likely on the Nurburgring.. also no clear bra.

If it's too good to be true, it usually isn't.

Can't be that many Aqua Blue RS's around. When I was shopping around, there was one at Prestige in Canada. Was heavily tracked. Front was resprayed. Lots of undercarriage damage, cracked subframe. Would be interesting to know if this is the same car.

Front or rear?

I've seen it. In front right where the LCA connects to the sub frame. Heavily tracked cars need a gusset on those LCA flanges or the sub frame can crack.
