Saru385

anyone know about this car at Mercedes of Maplewood in Minnesota? has been listed for a fair amount of time with apparently no takers.

have seen many other GT3s with similar or higher mileage selling at higher prices, so makes me think there is something wrong here...

Yeah, it's been in an accident. Most people tend to stay away.

Saru385

ah. figured there had to be some story with this one. and that the Rennlisters would know!

I checked this one out during my search and they sent me the list of repair. 65k in repairs. Appeared it was fixed correctly, but still not worth it. It will take a special person to spend near a $100k on damaged goods. JMO!

dang. $65k in repairs... that car must have gotten pretty banged up. will be interesting to see what they finally get for this car. seems like it might be a good deal for someone who wants to turn it into a track car.

65k is just beyond a fender bender with these things :-)

track car. but too much $ for that.

Am I confused? I see a picture of a white roof in one picture and a black (wrapped?) one in the last picture?

It's right there in the Carfax.

Any chance you have the repair est? Would be interested to see what it was quoting on repairs versus actual parts needed, labor, materials, etc. or the least any details on what kind of hit it was?

I personally feel that if they go into low-mid eighties this becomes a different story as it is then a decent deal to get into a .2

When someone searches for that car in the future long after the link is dead, they will at least find this thread.

I've been going back and forth with them on this too.

Also about 78 over revs or something showing up on the report.

I was interested in the car, but I think the asking is too high for the damage it incurred.

The 78 over revs are on range 1 and 0's across the board for 2-6. The 78 is a fraction of a tenth at the rev limiter. Nothing at all. The DME over rev report actually looks good. It's the repairs and potential for other crap to pop up in the future that would keep me well clear of that car. If the budget is 80-90, then grab a good condition .1 instead of a beat to crap and repaired .2

Agreed. Not much difference between the .1 and .2. In fact the .1 is probably more raw.

LVDell

The only thing that would get me to move from my .1 is a .2RS and that's not gonna happen at today's prices. The .1RS and .2 non-RS just don't offer me anything above and beyond what I already have except that headaches of CL wheels on the .2.
