Probably $3-5k in parts plus 6-8 hours labor. If you are going to fix it, you will most likely need these parts anyways so it is likely worth the shot. Porsche dealer or one of the race shops in Toronto can easily source the 'guesstimated' parts - might just work.

I don't have details on the car other than MSRP was $143k. He already has the tow hook, Rollbar and harnesses installed. Not too many track days all of them on crappy stock tires. He is installing a new set of Michelin Pilot Super Sports.
I think Randy has Jero's contact info.
Call Eddie as well, he can hook you up fast with another RS. I just spoke to him about best car for the money for our use (track/street) and we are both on the same page, that the GT3 RS 3.8 is the best bargain for reliability/performance for street/track use, it just need some minor fixes (coolant fittings, 4.0RS clutch kit, side muffler delete, a few monoballs, stiffer springs and revalved shocks, and 5 lug hubs).
Use this formula to determine fair price for a 3.8 RS today, it gives you a ballpark on the market:
2010 White RS no options: $120,000
Gray-Black: Add $5k
Blue: Add $10k
Paint to Sample: Varies, it can hurt value over White (if bad color), or be a $15k premium for cars like the Mexico Blue, Riviera Blue, Signal Yellow
2011: Add $5k
PCCB: Add $5k
For each mile driven: reduce $1 per mile.
So, a White 2010 GT3 RS with 10,000 miles is a $110k car today. A Blue 2011 GT3 RS with just 500 miles and PCCB is a $139k car today. The other options: Wart, Full Leather, Navi, etc, carry Zero resale value, they just make buyers walk away or get more interested.
My advice. Buy Trakcar's car on the spot, so he can buy a 4.0RS.
In case you want to avoid money shift $$$ problems, the 430 Scuderia is the best car.

- I would not pay anything extra for PCCB.
- Reduce $1k for dash wart
- Reduce $3-$4k without GT2 seats
- You might need to increase $120k starting point at the rate Clarke is chewing through RS's.
Good try Francois !!!! trying to take advantage of our south of the border Friend!!!! bad boy

Clarke, Jero down here in Florida is thinking on selling his 2011 Blue GT3 RS with Red decals. The car has 4,900 miles. The fair market price is $130k. No PCCB.
I don't have details on the car other than MSRP was $143k. He already has the tow hook, Rollbar and harnesses installed. Not too many track days all of them on crappy stock tires. He is installing a new set of Michelin Pilot Super Sports.

Brand new Super Sports. I sent an email to Randy with my cell.

A Road America lap compared to a Sebring lap is about 7 seconds apart using the GTC class (2012 Porsche GT3 Cup spec class) lap times: 2:07 at Sebring in January, 2:14 at Road America in August, similar weather.
Were you drafting Cuatro Punto Cero?
No idea why you're so slow at Road Atlanta, and so fast at Road America.
Despite of the Hoosier cheaters (R6 will give you 2 secs there), you get my vote for best driving in the DE Cup at Road America.
We should have a "DE Cup Best Effort Trophy" in addition to the "DE Cup World Series Championship Trophy" per track, the former to be chosen by votes, the later by fastest time.
