Listed at 235k 16k miles. I believe this car was last at Merit Partner. @RapidGT Brought up this vin in 2021. Seems like a sketchy ad

Elliot, looks like Facebook removed it. Yea, there's no way a 16k mile .2RS is going for this amount.

I believe I was told 230, but offer on mine was far too low so I declined.

Imo finding a high spec .1 RS in white is way harder than restoring it to factory new as long as the paint and body are clean. I still feel like we are in the sweet spot of parts where they are still stocking 95%, I enjoyed restoring mine.

Have a slight preference to the spec of the 10k-mile car (has full leather, fully specced black RS livery as the 1,500-mile car doesn’t have black mirrors, no painted front lip or rocker panels, and no PCM).

Wonder how these white RS’ compare to the pumpkins in resale. Haven’t seen a pumpkin listed this high before. Besides green which is in its own little bubble, these seem to be the most desirable colors for a .1 RS. Not a lot of people know that Carrara White was not initially offered but added later on after multiple requests for it. It was actually the most expensive color option for these cars despite being free on every other model. Was a $4,315 color option (black was free, Arctic Silver was $690, and the other premium colors green and orange were $3,140). Plus Carrara White didn’t come with the contrasting ‘GT3 RS’ livery or other painted bits (besides black rear wing end plates) like all the other color options. To add the livery back with everything it was $3,730 not including the rear wing end plates as that didn’t need to be done if optioning for black contrasting colors (was $335 to change the end plates from black). A lot of people who were speccing black contrasting colors still selected the deviated rear wing end plates as they didn’t know they already came in black. Was $4,065 if everything was selected. As far as production numbers for the North American market 71 were white and 186 orange.

Remember the guy in Beverly Hills that was selling that white .2 NB car for, I forget how much, but it was jokingly high...........until it wasn't. Just playing the devils advocate and my car is actually for sale at that exact same price, as well as everyone else's

Makes the white one with over 30k miles and a history Doug has for 230 seem outrageously overpriced.

Maybe. Doug's car has $25k more in options, whereas the pumpkin is a stripper without any desirable options. What kind of negative history does Doug's car have?
