They (RSAs) are holding their values well though so it might be worth the money in US that way, surely real (=ROW) GT3 RS will be worth much more money in the long run though.
Only real difference is that the RSA cost significantly LESS than a 964C2, while this GT3RSA costs significantly MORE than a GT3

finn, are RSA really holding value well? a friend of mine bought one for 28k.
the 40k cars are all garage queen.

what i am saying is ppl like us, who drives the toys, are doomed. if i were to pick up a GT3RS for 130k, log 45k miles in two years, how much will you pay for mine? i promise to stay away from walls, trees and other hard objects

Hi Mooty - Even if your friend bought an RSA for $28k (least I've seen one go for), it's still considerably more than a comparable 964 C2. And remember that the RSA cost $10k less than a C2...

I bought a RSA new after the 993 had just come out and paid $39,900, with AC, LSD (no sunroof). I had it for two years, put a $10K into it for the track and sold it for $55,000 with 22,000 miles. I would like to duplicate that experience again, but it is not likely to happen!

Ditto.

I bought a used '94 RSA in '96. Less than 1000 miles -- the owner couldn't believe Porsche would build such an uncomfortable car with heavy steering. White, no sunroof, a/c. Loved it. Put 20K+ on it as a daily driver, club events, track days. Spent a few dollars on exhaust, lsd, brakes, tires, tires, tires. Paid $40, sold it for $45 with one ad in the local paper. It was insured as an RSA, so it had a higher insured value than a Carrera 2. Perfect introduction to owning a Porsche. Turns out to be also a completely misleading introduction ... : )

My introduction to Porsche:

Bought a used 73S in the paper for $16k in the late 1990's and sold it 4 years later for $27k (should/ve kept it though - now worth over $50k). You don't need to take a bath when buying a Porsche (my 993 is worth same as I paid or more after driving it for 3 years and 20k miles - got it for a good price).
