Great dealership for RS.

If its the GB w/ ghost stripes, get DME.

White RS w/ blue looks great.

I think someone here was sniffing around on the Gray car.
Get some more info if you can.

It is the GB

And I have the DME. Range 4 and 5 ignitions present. Applying what I learned from Doug @ Switchcars, it is likely a single mechanical overrev event about 270 operating hours ago. Calculation yields ~0.13 second duration of the actual overrev event

I'm inclined to move forward, or at least strongly interested enough to see if someone familiar with 997s can go look and listen to the motor start/idle, and maybe drive to get a sense of health.

The price seems right for that car, almost too cheap even.
