I removed my car for sale as I came to the conclusion that Carmax is offering me the best deal. Of course, I can sell it 2-3k more to a third party but then there is the risk of not being paid, the joy rides and the ppi ect ect. not worth it.

On top of that I can just keep it while I shop for my gt3

Erik's car is a damned good deal but I think it is out of my league

I LOVE the orange color, but the only reason my wife is letting me entertain a 2007 GT3, is that I claim them as good as new for half the price.
The 40k miles on the odo would be a tough sell.

I hope I can get a nice 2007 with 10k miles in the low 70's by end of summer.

This RS will make someone very happy I am sure. Man, I love that color

+1

You'd get a low $70's GT3, but not a $82K RS that has enough stuff on it to sell to get very close to your price??!!!
Sorry, but you are nuts if you get a GT3 over this RS. Mileage or not, they are all out of warranty.

Do the PPI both at Champion and Orbit and get you money back in 2-3 years :-) I bet the RS is the cheaper car to have if you factor in the depreciation.

What is the real price on the 996 at Carmax? PM me.

Totally a bargain compared to what we pay here Philooo! You guys are sooooo lucky! At the prices you guys are paying, the RS all the way... When I bought my gt3.2, the tax component of the transaction came to over $100k, more than a second hand rs there!!!

This RS for 85k is low 70's when you sell off shocks/suspension, cage, seats, track wheels and RP.

My previous RS has over 30k miles and runs like new and my current RS has 40k miles..... still tight as a new car and reliable.

40k miles in a 2007 model is slightly higher miles for a super car but not a daily driver... less then 10k a year is good in my books for any car.
Do yourself a favour and kick the tires. You will not be disappointed...
