I can also say for surety it was the least expensive .2RS in the US the later half (18’-19’) of its listing over there. I personally wouldn’t touch it. I also highly doubt the New listing dealer doesn’t know anything about it. How it’s priced above 140 is beyond me...Sounds more like a co-signer listing based upon asking. Less likely is the dealer was hosed on the deal.

I think they were inferring 3 guards red cars for 2008. But the .1 GT3 is exactly the same for 2007 and 2008. I don’t love the 997.2 LED taillights that some people do on their 997.1. Doesn’t look right to me on the 997.1’s more squared off taillights. The wheels that the car had when it was listed on pelicanparts IMO are hideous.
Agreed on the 997.2 Style Tails, I think every instance of Aftermarket Lights looks tacky. I spoke with them briefly last night and have another call this AM. I'll report back with any findings.

I saw this car in person two weeks ago. Looked great from ten feet away. PO traded that and a low mile GT2 for lizard RS. For the miles price seems in the ballpark. The for sale thread is public and might cause problems later. If your looking for a car to drive and enjoy, not much better than a 3.8 RS.
I would just walk. There is a documented story of this car on this forum and it seems like too much of a risk especially at that price. There will be other cleaner .2 RS’s that come up for similar money eventually and IMO this car is not worth the risk unless it is very cheap like in the $120k’s or less. Even if the car was clean, with this cars mileage, options, and the fact that it is not a US spec car makes it not worth their asking price. Just my opinion.

Original paint? Curios to hear more on this one. Def has potential for the right price. Swapping wheels and tail lights back to stock isn't a major issue. You just gotta love those red interior trim pieces....

Wheels / Tails / Shifter would be the first to go. Interior trim pieces don't bother me tbh.

Guards red .1 GT3 with PCCB’s, full leather with red deviated stitching, and low miles. Price seems pretty attractive, but I don’t love the wheels and a little too much painted interior trim for my taste. But seems like a nice car overall.

Was listed in FL also.
You could probably find the seller if you look through old panoramas.
"the only red 2008....................... blah blah blah.
Nice car, but the red interior was a turn off for me also.

So there are (3) 997.1 GT3's at Kelly Motorcars in Hatfield PA on carsforsale.com. The add shows how long they have been listed. 749, 353, and 2,104 days. What is the story there? I sent an email and did not hear back before I noticed the days on the market.

I've contacted them a couple times over the years on a few cars and never received a reply. I have no idea what their deal is, but they don't seem to want to sell their cars.

Kelly Motorcars - Wow, same here! I called and texted them twice on the yellow one they have for sale and crickets on both occasions. Maybe they sensed "enthusiast" type questions in the messages I've sent and prefer not to deal with people who ask questions, lol. They'd rather sell to the uninformed with cash to burn who will buy based solely on the Carfax report.

Full M&M exhaust from Farnbacher Loles. Very simliar, probably the same, as this one from FVD:

Grey/gold .2 RS with 12k miles and has a ton of options. No pictures or price at the time of my post, but hopefully it is clean and priced well.
