After considering an understated Silver / Black RS, I am getting more comfortable with the idea of Orange and black. I have done as much research as I can regarding current values and am curious what guys here think this one is worth. The car currently has 11,000 miles on it.

Thanks for your thoughts!

The first GT3RS I saw in person was orange. In pics, gorgeous, in person, amazing.

Since it's an opinion, $95k +/- couple.

Then again prices seem to vary so much I'm not sure myself.

Glad you came around! I love bright colors on these cars.

Orange is THE hot rod color on these monsters. Transforms them somehow.... especially decals deleted.

Now, as to price, there are so few around with some people asking as low as $85 in previous sales it is hard to tell what someone will ask and what someone will actually pay.

A PCCB, 10000 -15000mile car with an aftermarket roll bar will fetch bout $88k in my books. But because of the supply and demand i could see a buyer dish out 90k, especially with new socks.

Trouble is after market roll bars hurt resale.
The GMG bar is fantastic as are the TC design bars etc, but im telling ya' folks, stick with the Clubsport or Tequipment for resale purposes. After market bars should be hauled out before sale time unless you dont mind having your pants pulled down a little during a sale.

This car will not see $99k.... being an orange owner i wish it would but alas.....

Thanks, guys. My research yielded about the same range of 88-90. I will likely make an offer, but may need to wait as it showed up on eBay last night.

Orange and Black is a great option, be patient until you find the right car for you, be it Orange, Green, White or Silver! Did I mention Orange is a great option!

Thanks for the tacit acknowledgment that none of the Black owners would ever be willing to part with the truly superior color.

I personally like the decals of .1 RS. I am a huge fan of the orange, it's getting in my dreams...

I love the orange. I'm still a good 3 years away from putting one in my garage, but I still enjoy looking. Could probaby do it earlier if I sold my 993, but I know I'd regret it...

Those pictures are all stunning! I'm glad that I came around on abandoning the understated approach of Silver.
I spoke with the owner of this car last night. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PORSC...item4cf8c4933b

I wasn't crazy about the aftermarket/Alpine Navigation, but he has the original unit which will come with the car. The only other mod is a Sharkwerks exhaust, the original comes with the car. It has brand new shoes.(Pirelli) He purchased the car with 2400 miles on it as a CPO from a dealer. I like the idea of a warranty and should know if I own it by the weekend. He has two or three people interested, I'm not the highest bidder at the moment. Highest interest is at 93.5.

Option two is the car originally on the Pelican site, now here. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2007-...item2a129f1a2e

Once you go Orange or Green you're set. For life!

I didn't see any bids on the first one? Unless these offers are behind the scenes.

The second car looks nice, but what about the roll bar? Is that aftermarket and did he drill holes for that? I'm asking, nothing more.

Either one is fantastic, we are splitting hairs here.

David Schacht

I agree with your points, that is why it has moved to option 2. Who knows, I may need an option three at some point. I just want to buy a nice car at a fair price. This will be the most that I have ever spent on a car and I really want to get it right. I can see myself living with an orange RS for a long time. What an outstanding car!

Hopefully option 1 works out. Gorgeous car, I'm jealous in a good way.

Good luck!
