reeeeally now.... guess we're hearing it here first! .. cuz there are still quite a few folks that have been looking for a blue GT3 (regardless of Aqua -vs- Cobalt -vs- .1 or .2)....

my guess is Doug already has a list of people he is calling,.. and that's why it is not yet listed on his website.

doug sold that car back in November. Him and I have yet to find another cobalt blue one in the past few months. Hard when there are so few of them.

I know you didn't want white, but you should have jumped on mine. A great deal looking at it now. Zero over revs in all ranges, original paint/body. A rust free California, non tracked car.

Great car. Perhaps, but I have not been looking for that long and am currently okay with my narrow search. At some point I may open up to some other colors but that time is not now.

It's $110,000. What are you looking to pay? I'll bet you can negotiate that car price down 5k and if your price range is right at 6 figures, it's just a hop skip and jump away. Pull the trigger.

The RS that I want is like 40k out of my budget, but I'm still doing it. F it, YOLO

So Cobalt blue and under $100K? Yikes.....if the stock market and real estate crash but even that happening will be a year out minimum. I can't recall the last time I saw a cobalt blue for sale. And one with high miles.

I’m patient for the right car. Like I said, I’d maybe pay over 100 for something that I could not pass up on. To me, paying 110 for a white one is not worth it to me. I’m not looking to get a car and keep for a couple of years. I’m looking for one that I will keep for a long time.
There was a cobalt blue one posted late last year with 60k miles that went for ~80k. Times have changed of course.

Unfortunately, I don't think we will see those prices again. The ship have sailed. Good luck with the hunt.

I've come across 3 of the Aqua Blue .2 non-RS in the past 3 yrs (since I bought mine back in 2018), and not one of them had more than 18k miles. There are only 15 of them in North Amer for both years. Probably gonna be hard to find a blue .2 with high miles. But maybe the Cobalt since the .1's have had 3-4 more years to pack some miles on.
GL w/ search

yeah 80s is not going to be possible but that’s okay.
In the end, it will be quite satisfying when I find the right one.
