Scott as luck would have it, I saw the exact car tonight at my detail shop that has been impeccably well maintained. All I can say is that 1. This color combo is stunning in person and 2. You have great taste.

Your car and the RS in general is an utterly special car. The question I always ask myself is what would it take for me to own one and when does when ever feel content. The 3.2, the 997.2 and the Cayenne is not enough ?? I don't know the answer to that

Not sure if you remember me, but you gave me advice last year when I was trying to buy a C2S.
Of course I even remember where exactly I was when I spoke to you on the phone. You son of gun ... Just checked your avatar and threads. I feel happy for you as I note that you went the GT way and are enjoying it the way it is supposed to be. Keep safe.

Going for PPI on Tuesday. If buyer is happy, then yes. If not, I will repost it formally. Hope I'm not making a huge mistake-they are great cars!

You're making a huge mistake, replacing a 2011 car with an old 2008 car that is not a Porscha, that's what this crowd will say, but this crowd suffers from GT3 blindness.

My Scuderia is over 3 years old, and the only two visits I have had to the dealer have been for oil service. I had a warranty claim on a carbon fiber panel turning Yellow and they replaced both. Car has been tracked (25 track days), autocrossed many times including National level SCCA events, drag raced, driven to car shows, driven on CA canyons, I doubt your Scuderia will go through the paces mine does.

My car still has the original coolant fittings, original pressure plate, original clutch disk, original diff, I just replaced rotors for the first time, but original rotors still have plenty of life left. The changes I have made (suspension, brakes and exhaust) make the car perform better, but I don't think you would be looking to enhance the performance in your Scuderia anyway.

Amazing looks, great reliability, affordable maintenance, a super fast transmission that makes every DCT/PDK feel lame, the magical e-diff, multiple levels of stability/traction controls, and an engine/exhaust sound to die for at high RPM. No cup holders, no rear seats, but it comes with Navi, ipod link, radio/cd, power everything, and bluetooth. The trunk is gigantic.

Given the price difference between a 3.8 GT3 RS and a Scuderia (around $30k), the Scuderia is a bargain. Scuderia parts are affordable if you know where to get them, cheaper parts than 3.8 GT3 RS parts. The only pricey parts are the carbon fiber parts, and this applies to all cars on all brands.

No not mine. This is the first time I've even contemplated selling it.

Gonna need to pick your brain on this. ie. where to source 430 Challenge pads for one.

You made me look!

Scuderia's on Autotrader low 164K, high 230+.

20 cars listed. Lot's of selection at 200K+

Not much if you are trying to stay in the 160 range.

I would think there aren't a lot of people shelling out that much for 4 year old cars, so I'm sure the asking prices are negotiable.

Support, tuning, maintenance, parts... considerations.
