Default might sell 2008 green rs

thinking of selling my 2008 gt3rs green w/ 350 miles car has ceramics, green stitching, some carbon, a highly optioned car with a 154k window. added 3m film and car is in a climate controlled storage facility in NY. if you are looking for a low priced track car, this is not the car for you. if you are looking for a perfect green collector quality car, this is for you. PM me if interested

not a time to think of selling for the chance a collector might be interested....

not many collectors out there that dont already have one...... and all other interested parties are waiting for the market to bottom out.

if you want out of the car, 130k is the place to start.

Wishful thinking, I know that looney $ falling might have put a wrench in your plans; but your efforts to talk down the market might be futile, especially since recent transactions for "pristine" cars contradict your hopes.

AKAIK a pristine car can still bring MSRP. Also, collectors are always interested.

Default gt3 rs

if somebody could find me a similar car to the one I am selling, an 08 in green w./ a 150k sticker or more w/ under 400 miles and no stories for 130k I will buy it ASAP. PM me if this car exists. the only other similar car I know of right now in options and color is a green at sloan , but that car is a 2007 and had just a few more miles I think 650 or 700 and they want big bucks for it. I think 130 buys you a totally different quality rs, more miles, less options, some track history etc.

maybe pog and i are looking are the wrong places.
but i bought one and know of another one sold both at MSRP. both prestine cars and both got more miles than NYC123's.

i am not doubting your, but i just haven't see any sub msrp cars that i liked, well beside the one i sold. but it had 18000 miles which most ppl would be scared off.

an RS of this quality at 130k exists as often as the 500 mile CGT for 300k than many talk about but does not actually exist when you try and find/buy one as I have been

i hate when we talk neg. about prices of cars... and specially when a guy says he wants to sell..
they are worth what someone will pay... talking down the number doesnt help a single member here on the forum ... just my opinion...
GL with the sale ... who knows you may get what you want and you may get more..

There's one sure fire way to find out what the market will pay for a car...put it up for sale at your desired price. If it sells, great. If it doesn't, then you'll know.

It matters less how great the car is, i.e., low miles, color options. What does matter is how many ready buyers are willing to pay $150k plus for an RS in these market conditions. Perhaps there are a few...

true, your car is an 08 with hardly any miles..... so it is a diamond of an example thats for sure..... definitly commands sticker price

it just looks at this point that nobody is buying up RS cars for high options or collectability as second owner.

it looks as if the 07's with miles seem to be selling due to the lower prices...

thanks for the kind words, and for the information of the people talking about130k, I have been offered over 150k already. I live in New York City but I keep the car in storage in a very nice cliamte controlled facility in westchester along with a white and orange rs as well. Anyway I did not post the car here to create and debate on price only to put it on the forum in case somebody is looking for such a car. If there is anybody here that wants an RS but has a budget of 130k you can PM me I might know of a couple cars closer to that price range, but again the specs will be a little different, will be an 07 w/out ceramics probably blk/orange color and probably 5,000 miles or more w/out much detail about history. If I were going to track a car I would probably buy one just like that.
