I saw those... that grey/orange is very close to what I'm looking for... but I'd like the front axle lift option... feel like I'd be bottoming out a little too much where I live, work and play.

I live in Seattle so I have to fork out 10% to register the car no matter where I get it from.

Stop it right now!

He didn't say anything about so I think it's safe for now

I too am looking, but will post a separate thread out of respect to OP

Bump... still looking... and after much thought and consideration, decided that it has to be white/gold or grey/gold mostly stock RS. Red wheels are just too much for me... and the girlfriend said she won't get in it... sigh... Seattle Prius girls...

If you have one or know of one please shoot me a note. Looking to pay $130k - 140k depending on options and miles... seem fair?

If you were price indifferent, Ray Joseph has your car at RPM Sportscars. I have dealt with Ray and his business model is fairly straightforward...he is FORENSIC in going over cars and he only takes the very best in the U.S. into his inventory. You just dont even need to look at the car, if Ray has it, it is perfect. In return, he charges a significant premium over market. His buyer is someone that is willing to pay extra for the piece of mind. A lot extra. He has a 1500 mile RS in your color combo. My guess is that he would take around $155k for it, but that is just a guess. Only you can decide if its worth $15k over your budget. For me, with a regular GT3 being closer to $100k with similar miles/condition, I found it hard to justify 50% more for that particular car...although I did stalk it for awhile going back and forth. There are Rennlisters with great low mileage RS cars available but they dont match your color requirement from my research.

Hey thanks mrsullivan... that's the color combo I'm looking for and basically brand new... just wish it had sport bucket seats for that price! Seems like there are a number of grey/red RS' in the 130k range but the scarcity of grey/gold or white/gold seems to be driving that price up. $159k asking seems like a lot but he'll probably get it.

Congrats on the GT3 purchase... I'm sure you will be happy... and 50% richer.

at this point of the game, and you want to be picky then you have to pay up.
i have dealt with joeseph at rpm. doesnt discount. but his cars are good and i AM PICKY.
some ppl buy cars by comparing prices.
some find the car they want, they just pay for it.
lots of garbage out there. very few good cars.

$159,000 and then I get to spend another $6-7k to swap out the seats...? I'm sure it's a lovely car but no thanks. I'm willing to be patient... and picky.

mrsullivan

i agree with Mooty... I deal with RPM because I dont have to worry about condition...

but some of us also cant afford to not look at the price tag... someday perhaps

mooty

he's a dealer, needs to make money.
if you are patient, you will find something.
though i personally witnessed two transaction this month, one at 141 the other at 160+. both are incredible cars. unfortunately not in your color combo.

it will show up i am sure.

oh, there is one gray/silver car i know of at 140 or so. but i am not 100% certain he wants to sell just yet.

hunanbeef,

they are out there...





no front lift, carbon fiber bucket seats - very upright, no adjustments except fore and aft, but surprisingly comfortable: I drove it from Houston to LA in 2 days by myself, didn't even feel tired at the end.

just rolled over 13k, CPO till 8/1/16

Funny thing, I expected the GT3RS to be a little more low profile than the Mac and Bulls...Nope.

Even so, I wouldn't consider a trade for either, even straight across, model year for model year. Nope, not even a stack of 1500 Benjamins...





Good luck with your search, you will be very happy...
