I only see two .1 RS’s under 235 for sale. In is RFM’s and that’s a pass and the other one is that clapped out black RS for 218,000. Both of those a hard pass in my book. Where is this third one, or bunch, you speak of?
Doug(SwitchCars) has a white RS for $230k-ish
Driven has a black RS for $218k, accident
I owned the black one at Orlando, it’s in great condition. Near perfect paint. No evidence of track time. Clean dme.
With the black 2k mile .1 RS selling at auction last weekend for $362k, without pccb…. I’m very interested to see what happens to the market on .1 RS.

how is the black one in Orlando clapped out? It’s the lowest mileage and at a Porsche dealer, not arguing asking a question.
You're focusing way too much on mileage. There are countless super low mileage examples that are beat and high mileage ones that are pristine. The black car has been discussed a fair bit in this thread, should be able to search the VIN.
Grandprix has a .2 RS grey/black with weissgold wheels. Wonder why it's still for sale. Previous threads state that a new gearbox was replaced and that the suspension was modified for track use so I suspect lots of pitting. Was there anything that would make this a poor purchase? thx
I don't really care about resale value, it's a forever car, that's why I'm looking for a manual RS. I'm buying the car to drive it, not stare at it in my garage. Part of my equation is get a .1 RS and save the money and put it towards the 4.1 sharkwerks upgrade and suspension work done by BBI, but then I ask myself if it makes sense to do that to a lower mileage car that has life in the motor still vs getting a higher mileage .2 RS and since its closer to needing work, doing the 4.1 on it, however since the higher mileage has higher miles, it could mean more is worn out and drives the upgrade cost too. I want to track it, I live in SOCAL plenty of tracks not that far from me so there are options for that.
As I just typed that out, I think getting a .1 RS driving it till it needs work and then doing the upgrade probably makes the most sense, then I'm not leaving money on the table upgrading it prematurely. thank you for the reply.
If that's your intent, I'd probably pick the best combination of driver's miles + condition you can find from either generation. Mileage will definitely save money / leave room for your upgrades. But @Vocan is right; it's not going to "need" motor work in your lifetime if you maintain it properly. The 4.1 would just be elective work.
