Interesting hostile environment in here. COVID is getting people wound up. I think we should just drop the Orange RS here.
to change the subject has anyone seen this GT3? Finally down to reality on price.

I would recommend paint metering that car. When I was looking it over, I was unable to tell if one of the front quarter panel edges felt rough or not to me. It may have been fine and I could have been incorrect, but just a heads up as someone that looked it over pretty closely.

.... But I will admit, that would be my approach for regular P cars,.... I realize the GT market doesn't work that way. heck, my car was for sale at a dealership for all of zero business hours & I had to jump on it before anyone else could (but primarily because it was exactly the spec I had been searching 4, for almost 1.5 years. Paid market price. But got what I wanted & driving the pi$$ out of it. Anyway, you guys are right. that auction market is not prime time,.... but then again I've always liked off broadway. I'm not a type A guy.
Be safe,... and be happy.

Good find Steve! Congrats Doug!
If there is a person that you should trust buying a car from, specifically a GT car from, it is Switchcars and their team. He has been able to explain the DME report for many people, that Youtube video should have way more views than it does, everyone should understand how to read one. Having data files on his cars is another advantage.

I read this thread every day strictly for its entertainment value since I already have the GT3 that I will probably never sell until I am too old to drive it safely.
And like Steve, there is no way in hell that I would buy any high-dollar car without inspecting and driving it myself. Surely a $100K+ vehicle is certainly worth a plane ticket to verify it's quality!

We get a couple of complaints on rudeness. I come take a look and it's more like a multi post dust up. Instead of taking a bunch of time to go wholesale deleting post, what say we all just play nice. Great cars, great people. I'm leaving this one alone.....for now.

Back on topic. Random fact, that I actually learned on Rennlist from somebody who knows more about colors than anyone. "Orange", the most popular color on the 07/08 GT3 RS and offered on the 2008 Cayman S Sport, (and referred to as "RS Orange" sometimes when ordered on PTS cars) was discontinued after 2010 as a PTS color because it didn't pass Porsche's quality tests. It was replaced in 2011 with Pastel Orange which is very, very similar.
There is only one Pastel Orange PTS 997.2 GT3, and there are....uh oh.....going off memory....a lot more RS Orange cars.....and it was sold on Bring a Trailer last year. It was one of the worst presentations of a car ever, with nascar-style brand stickers on the car, no overrev report, and a driving video that tanked the seller's own auction. Somebody took a gamble and either got one heck of a deal or they had to replace the gearbox. Always a gamble buying online, but that one was a gamble worth the risk in my opinion!
