Well lets assume there are 5 dealers that are addicted to turning these cars, with only 3-4 available at any given time its bound to go up... the 3-year RS market here in the states was fabricated during covid but that doesn't really matter because supply is just getting tighter, the higher the price goes the more 1k-10k mile examples are getting parked in FU$ collections... pushing the price up even more

and around and around we go

3 years ago I don't recall anyone saying "i just want a drivers example 20-40k miles", now we see it all the time... which makes me more confident that anyone new buying a $400k 5k mile RS thats not a dealer is just planning to show it to his friends and park it.

Any non-boomer collector is now expected to have a low mileage RS "if you know your cars"... I don't like having my car under insured by $100k, but I also don't like being pushed around by dealers so I choose to drive it knowing I may never own it again if I total it.

Looks like RFM is getting in another blue/gold .2 RS.

Good chance it’s the one Merit Partners sold 6 or so months ago. Has clear taillights, XM radio antenna, and think it has the same aftermarket gurney flap on the rear wing.

Lots of Blue/Golds lately, not many Blue/Reds trading hands.

I agree with you, unfortunately more and more will be parked.

man I love Aqua Blue ... if I had my dithers (& the deep pockets), I'd buy a half dozen just in that color (diff specs of course) & drive the snot out of em every day (of course retirement gives free time, but funds go static)

If you look very closely you can just see it sticking up on the back edge of the wing. Difficult to tell so not 100% positive. Also the car may have a white chrono clock.

The car is Merit partners old car. I helped my neighbor load the car onto the trailer as he was out of town. They sure don't waste a second posting about it.

Was this not the car that had the right rear bumper section cut out to steal the catalytic converter?

This, posted on Paul's IG story about an hour ago. His vehicles are the real deal, trust me on that. Hope this goes to an enthusiast.

Their cars don’t sit around very long. Rarely are they around more than a month. Offers really good cars for very fair prices.

I know people disagree, but give me the 1-owner car every single time.
