Exclamation TRADE my Riviera Blue 993 for Riviera Blue or Mexico Blue RS.......

Guys, this is probably a long shot, but I am going to try. I am willing to pay cash plus trade my 12k original mile Riviera Blue PTS 1998 C2S for a Mexico Blue or Riviera Blue RS, or maybe even another PTS RS. I missed out on Baron's RS which was totally my fault as I had another priority come up which prevented it. I tried to get a 4.0 in PTS, but my dealer couldn't pull it off the PTS at the last second when I thought it was a shoe in. I will NOT sell the 993, it is only for trade. It is mint and rare. If I can't find one soon, I am going to keep the 993 and just add a green or orange RS to it. Thanks either way everyone!

Anybody know how many Rivy blue RS porsches exist in USA?

Id say it would be a rare car to come along on used market ramdomly.

Even rarer to find someone willing to let it go for a 993 unless they were a car collector of sorts...

such a great 993, beautiful.

I have the 993 and 997RS combo and couldnt be happier. Of course having them both rivy blue would be even better!

Id start looking for an Orange or Green RS and at least that way if and when a rivy blue RS comes along you can trade your funky color .1RS for a .2 rivy blue RS while keeping 993.

Although dont be opposed to PTS 2014 RS

4 997.2 GT3 RS cars were ordered in Riviera and made it to the US. Another 2-3 in Mexico.

I think I remember that ebay car. Riv blue with black wheels, black lipstick, and some orange parts too on the wing i think. A little weird looking but nothing a little paint couldn't fix. I called about it when I was looking last May and it had just sold. It was owned by a guy right near where I live. No clue where it is now.

I know, pretty useless post on my part....

not trying to discourage gymguy, but one has to be crazy or in financial crisis to unload his RS for a 993 coupe.

Yes, I know my post is pretty useless as well.

And I have the fourth one. Rivy Blue with Orange, very similar to the one Alex has.

Don't think so. This car was ordered from the factory with Orange trim, decals, wheels etc. The car was originally sold by Riverside Porsche and the owner then moved to Ft. Lauderdale. That's where it was when I bought it. Don't know anything about the one with Black Trim.
