Default Some final thoughts before the tirgger gets pulled?

I've posted a bunch of times before and thanks again for all of your insight, advice, and options on the 7.2 GT3 RS. I don't know what it is but this car keeps following me around, keeps showing up in my world, and it may be just the time to grab it.

I've got an opportunity to get into a 2011, GT3 RS, with around 12K mileage, CPO'd through a Porsche dealership for around $162K USDs. I've posted my concerns and thoughts on this car earlier but it has since moved to a dealership and CPO'd, which I believe is a good thing, at least for the next two years in which time I can drive the crap out of it and hopefully "force" any known issues to the forefront for them (dealer) to handle.

The DME looks good, it'll come with service fully up to date and a fresh set of tires.

Thoughts? Price?

And just to jog your memory...

Options list? Unless it's a stripper, I think that's a solid price for that mileage + CPO. Of course, if that's asking, then offer considerably less and see if they bite.

Wow, what happened to the 997 Turbo idea you were looking at? Change of mind?
This car would be way up there as a dream car for me.

I'll attach the options list here. Not quite a stripper, pretty much close to perfect IMO.

Ha! Busted, right? I'm going back and forth. I've been looking at this RS for 6 months now and keep coming back to it. It is a dream car, that's got a 2-year CPO on it. I'll keep you posted...

Spring is almost here, do it. You’ll really enjoy the car. With CPO you can’t really go wrong.

Really like the silver wheels on grey/black. If you have the liquidity, I'd lowball the heck out them and get it. No one is buying now. If I wasn't in the midst of a home build, I'd be shopping for a lot of cars off my bucket list.

You will never be unhappy owning a 7.2 RS. I acquired mine in 2015 and will never, ever, sell my car. If you have the means, then I would "gently" suggest that you scratch your itch. Have you driven the car ?

Speaking entirely out my rear, were a lot of the .2 RS ordered without the PCCB's?

You can pull a report specifically targeting .2 RS with Ceramics on the PORS9 ... and then compare that number with the production totals

My thoughts exactly. Tx.

I really like them too. They really pop and give a nice visual touch of contrast to the ever-awesome grey paint. I'm planning my buying strategy right now. With all this CoVid-19 scare going on it's a good time to buy.

Yes! I drove it for a good 45 minutes. Love it. Interesting you will never sell yours and THAT is feeling I get on this one. As you can see by my signature I've been through a few, something I never thought would happen at the time. I tend to get slightly bored over time with each one.

Looks like a good deal. CPO is great.

For all of the US and Canada, 373 with ceramics out of 612 total.

That looks like an amazing car at an amazing price. CPO to boot. How can one go wrong?
