sell me your 997.2 GT3 RS please...
 

Hi from Seattle! :bigbye:

New to this forum... been looking for a 997.2 GT3 RS but slim pickings out there so I thought I'd post.

Specifically looking for a grey/red or white/gold with race decals, stock, or slight mods. Not particular about mileage or whether or not it's been tracked... more concerned about how it's been maintained...

If anyone knows of one for sale, please let me know. Would love to join your GT3 fraternity. Thanks! :cheers:

welcome to the crack house

live close enough to the Ridge Motorsport park i presume.... Great time to own a RS!

crack house... yes. I can't stop looking at RS pictures online. Make it stop.

Hmmmm I might have one for sale....exceptionally maintained, 25K miles, has been tracked but since retired to street duty

Hey Randy - more info? pictures? Thanks man.

+ 1 on Randy's car. Maintain regularly, always taking good car of his car

Great track car.

or this is always an option

Thanks....Im really struggling with selling it, but racing is too much fun....if I'll just buy another vintage race car....probably 2.0L 911

furthermore, Randy's car was an ex-mooty!
then flogged at Sebring....
oh, the pedigree.....

Thread restored and many thanks for supporting the Rennlist community!

Now,guys; let's find this gentleman a good car. :)

Best,

J.

This should be a link, fingers crossed, to two private party sellers. In some states, private party sales mean no sales tax to pay upon registration... and that's a big plus.

jenk12m - wow... beautiful car, but I'm looking for something a little more stock with decals. Call me crazy... I like the stickers.

Thank you John P!

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. :banghead:

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.

This one may be for sale soon - https://rennlist.com/forums/997-gt2-...ick-tires.html

PM me for more details...

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.

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 :D

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.

If you are interested, here is mine. Although, white with red graphics.

(Full front clear, MPSS tires, 12k, CPO for another 3yrs as of 7/30/2013). PM if you might be interested)

white with gold
 

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...

i am a beetle lover. ferrari or mc or the bull.... nope, ZERO interest. the dep'n lost i suffered last year or two can buy all three, zero interest.

Hey Chris - If you decide to sell your ride, can I buy my wheels back? PM if that's possible. Thanks!

Hey George, I'll PM you once I figure things out.

Please do. What's your plan? Cup?

Working with James on a 2010 Cup... Found the slope, it's actually a cliff...

slope, cliff, canyon, what's the difference.
jump, the net will appear.
look at me.

So true, so true...

You guys are making me feel better about spending a $140k+ on a used car...

I'm supposed to find out tomorrow if I get this RS at Barrier. Seems silly that I have to wait in line to buy a car but I guess we're all a little silly if we're here.

Not a done deal but thanks everyone for all the leads, PM's, and general advice. Y'all have been super cool.

-Manny

LMAO, waiting in line and u complain. i had to call 100's of ppl, beg with the heads of pcna, lie, bs and do my rain dance in addition to paying large amount of $$$ just to convince the power to be to sell me a damn 4.0.

i am working on my bollywood with spanish tango influence for the porsche gods in order to grant me the next unobtanium RS

Can you post a video?

i would, but i will be on headline news manana...

new terrorist warfare.... dancing mooty kills millions in metropolitan USA, casualty far worse than vietnam, ww1, ww2 combined. i cannot take that responsibility.

hunanbeef,

I'm not sure this will help, but just in case. I bought a white/gold RS earlier this summer and live in your area. I needed to have the factory gold (which was thought to be Weissach Gold, later disproven) matched to do some wheel repair, and I found a guy in Bellevue who does PHENOMENAL work on both wheel repair and also paint matching.

My point being if you find a car that doesn't quite meet your color standards such as white/red, this guy can absolutely do the paintwork to make it the correct factory gold on the wheels and front bumper. My car is the proof, and you're more than welcome to check it out sometime if you'd like to see his work.

Best wishes, and I hope you find an RS to call your own soon. They really are magnificent cars! :)

Hey Steve... thanks for the heads up. Really appreciate that. Yes, starting to think repainting may be a good option if the one I'm after falls through. I would love to see your GT3 sometime. Would be good to meet other GT3 guys in Seattle also. I'll shoot you a PM with my contact info.

Porsche 2011 GT3RS
 

Hi hunanbeef,

I have a 2011 RS White on Gold. I am the original owner. My care has 11k miles and zero over revs. It's a weekend car for 90-95% of its life and DE track for the remainder.

Let me know if you are interested.

Peter

Mods and maintenance
 

hunanbeef ,

Only mods are peddles and fire extinguisher. Car has been extremely well maintained. I have all records and title etc.

Peter

Hey Peter - I have agreed to the purchase of a grey/gold. Take possession next week but thanks for the note!

Congratulations on the purchase, Manny!

Congratulations on the purchase!

I know how difficult it is to find the right car. I am going to be looking for 140k or more on my car. Just curious...from having just bought a RS, does it sound like my price is in the right territory?

Thanks,
Peter

i cannot pm you
you need to become a member.
then we can let you know your asking price's reality.
some of us buy and sell more RS's than most major dealer in the country.

congrats on finding the right car. we always welcome pics

Thanks guys! Not entirely official yet but $$ is down. The guys at Barrier are being cool about my trade-in. Giving me till the 15th to try and sell it otherwise we have agreed on a trade-in value.

Anyone need an extra 997.2 S? Anyone? Anyone?!

Got to test drive her this last weekend... :) Everything everyone (except Mooty) has ever said about the RS is true!... and that exhaust! Pure music. Who needs a stereo right? Can't wait to get her on the track.

Nice ride!

That looks like my old one.

Looks exactly like my old one and my current. Nice choice. If you decide otherwise, pm me as I know someone who will buy it.

Did they make many in that combination? Great looking choice! It's not in your face, but enough to let you know it's something serious. Enjoy!

Got it. Thanks

Done deal. Took her home last night! Go Seahawks.

Congrats. Maybe see you at some Ridge track day next year.

Hey Manny, Go Niners! I can't believe you got that beast. Does a keg fit in the frunk?

man, that is hot....

interesting that in other pictures the "white gold" looked more like silver to me...in these pics, you can definitely see the "gold" in the decals, mirrors, wheels, etc... very cool, almost a bit retro... i like

Congrats, great buy !

CONGRATS!

Great looking car. Congrats on the new purchase!

Congrats dude.

Congratulations.....and she looks outstanding. (the color combo is excellent!).

Oh my that's a beauty!! Congratulations :thumbup:

Awesome! Congrats

Congrats! Nicely done.

congrats!!!!
gold accents are sexy, sexy, sexy!
this combo and white/gold are my favourites.

Looks great, thanks for the pics

Looks like one happy new owner!

That must have been Ted Anthony Sr's car. Really really nice! I hired his son as an instructor at the Ridge yesterday and he is terrific. Knows this car and is an incredible driver and instructor.

Congrats, you got the best color combo out there :)
