Very nice. Congrats on the grab!

Been watching this one since late mid 2013 in Byer's inventory. Truly a stunning example. Was just waiting for the right buyer.

Also, if I'm not mistaken, you did get it for *below* MSRP, as it was most recently up at $200k... and MSRP was $205k. It was listed for well above MSRP for a while, hence it sat in their inventory. I think the deterrent was that MSRP was already pretty high for a 997.2 GT3 RS, and so not a lot of buyers were biting.

Enjoy in good health! And more pics when you get 'er.

Wow, how do you get a 997.2 RS up to $205 MSRP? Even with PTS, PCCB and some nice interior finish you're in the $175 range generally.

Thank you everyone for the positive feedback ! I have been watching it for months and finally had a weak moment. Will be keeping it at my Lakehouse which has fantastic country roads.
