Haha. Hey, I miss that old silver! And I miss those double fried hash browns. Good times.

Your old silver is still doing great with me and I'm gonna go stretch its legs today.

Plain old RS Green and RS Orange. I think they may have even changed the name to just Green?

It is listed as "green" and "orange" on the RS build sheets. I've seen it listed on other order forms when ordered as a PTS color as "RS Green" and "RS Orange", but not consistently.

Back when I was looking I found it so interesting that the 997.2 Aqua Blue Metallic in a regular GT3 (I know you own one too Saru385) was so much more limited in #'s, verses the same color in the RS. Only 15 compared to 57 (for all of '10 & '11). At the time (for years during my search) I was disappointed in that, since I was sure it would mean I'd never find my dream car with a spec that checked all my boxes. BUT, that basic fact of rarity in my mind does not directly correlate to value. The only way it does is if you find that one person who values it enough to pay.

Out of curiosity I continue to look for my same car coming up for sale. Been looking for almost another year now, and still haven't seen it. Wonder where those other 14 cars are in North Amer.

yea, i had no idea how many (or how few) Aqua Blue GT3s there were out there before i bought mine.
was actually looking more at meteor gray cars when the blue one popped up on RL.

and i've not seen another one listed since.

if i ever get a 997.2 RS, i want leather dash and white gold option.
looks like there are 57 of those across all the colors so should be easy!

this seems "reasonably priced" compared to other .1 and .2 RS.

hahaha,... Ed, I chuckled,... cuz my first thought was "the miles are HELPING the price". As a driver, I look at that car & see an opportunity to drive,... at a reasonable price.

Although I say this having done zero diligence on that car,... so no affiliation, and know nothing about that car.

ah. Yeah. I didn't think of miles as a detractor. Regardless, I would do my due diligence. I have bought from CNC and it was a positive experience.
