these are wise words, from a newbie to Rennlist (assuming from post count) - sage advice, take it - it's free

if you're hung up on color, the exact spec/options, you're gonna lose out - have your funds ready and pounce!

Gospel. Unless you're super opposed to wild colors, take anything that passes your basic thresholds and PPI standards. You will not regret it. I struggle on a daily basis to NOT drive it for hours on end . . . It's that good.

But that's all second-hand knowledge. At that time the inspection showed a weeping RMS and a noisy RF ball joint. Looks like GP sold it and got it back on trade/consignment recently.
I became the lucky winner of this car. When looking at the carfax it makes sense about the location that was doing the services. It was his business that was reporting the service being completed. I tried to locate more information on the actual shop who completed the repairs from the accident. It makes sense when i map out the service shop it happens to be a body shop.

it likely is

I know mine is, and at 34K miles I wouldn't even consider anything less than $165 - perhaps that's the i don't wanna sell price but it is gorgeous (I just spent a bunch at Esoteric getting it really cleaned up w/new PPF and it shows)

Rennlisters may agree ^^^ on a 120 number,... and there may indeed be a recent .2 sale reference, but in this short supply market, a car where I believe 25k miles is literally just about PERFECT, as long as OCD maintenance is applied like I'm doing,... then a + 10% markup on yesterdays $110k price, IMO is a fair ask. Negotiate a bit, and boom,.... you've got yourself a enthusiasts car that you can rest assured will give you mountains of smiles for miles.
I overpaid for mine (in my poor limited-exposure opinion back 3 yrs ago,... so I now give myself a break), and yet as everyone here on RL seems to state, the supply of these cars are decreasing at a rapid rate. If you hold onto yesterdays viewpoint on what the car should be priced at,.. then you will miss out on the car,... and years from now you'll be saying "wish I overpaid yesterday, for a car that's worth more now".

just sayin'.

it's my own .02

... but then again, I am coming at this from a "Drivers" viewpoint. I keep my cars & enjoy them. So I acquiesce that "investors" play this from a different angle. YMMV.

Totally agree with the above statement. Unless you are looking for a unicorn to put away for life, I wouldn’t be so picky about colors, options and miles. Just get one before you miss the boat. These cars are limited and increasing in value. Your smiles and enjoyment will be money well spent.
