I have an orange one, and I must say, it gets an amazing amount of comments, and they are always positive. At first I thought it was a bit obnoxious, now I love the color. If you're going to do it - do it big. With that large wing, these cars aren't exactly the type that "blends in" by any stretch of the imagination. Whatever color you get, the incredible nature of the car - handling, power, sounds - will make you forget what color it is anyway. You will have a permanent grin on your face every time you are near it - and especially after you have just driven it. My fiance says exactly that to me all the time.

The car in Houston used to reside in Illinois and was serviced by Eurosport in 2011. Now that I look at the pictures the car was at Road America a few times while I was there in my 996GT3.

As far as pricing, hard to tell with 500 miles. That would concern me as the car hasn't be driven at all for 6+ years. Not good for the internals.

As far as the seller/dealer, he doesn't have clue. 450hp? Original factory warranty through 2014 is impossible. Only possible to have it CPO'd for that year. Further, only transferable if this is a private party sale AND it was bought CPO'd in July of 2012 by the private party that is selling it.

Have no idea if private seller but the wording (i.e., "us") leads me to believe dealer. If that's the case, CPO is void.

He cannot expect anymore then that because the warranty is long gone and it is only 6 years old.... If this car was 15 years old it would be a different story.

With such low miles it would almost be a shame to drive it.
Makes a great concours garage queen.

Been looking at the black and orange RS in the first link the OP posted as well. Just realized today that it has steel rotors instead of the PCCB's. Not necessarily a bad thing, but would prefer to have those ceramic rotors in the deal then make the switch to steels.

I went with Silver because that's what was available. I changed the accents to red and it came out great! But if I were to buy one and keep it oem colors scheme, it would have to be GREEN!
