I went to go see this car in person. Asking $189,000, been sitting about 4 months at the dealer. 1-owner, zero over-revs, had 1/2 bra which was taken off, yellowed stone guards still on the car. Paint could use a professional detail, lots of swirl marks. No dings, but small scratch on rear bumper that would need to be painted. Tires are 2022 date code Michelin PS, forgot to check if they were N1 spec. No evidence of paint work, but did not paint meter the car. Interior. Driver bolsters heavily worn, passenger seat perfect. Quarter size mark in the middle of dash (probably from a fasttrack device, not sure if that can be fixed). Carpet never cut, buttons not sticky. Interior could use a vacuum.
Originally an Ohio car, surface rust on rear trailing arms, transmission case. Evidence of oil leak, can't tell from where as car wasnt on the lift. No smoke on start up, car was cold.

I'm not an expert, but for $189K I expect something perfect.

They were asking $575k as of a couple months ago. But this was a private sale so they likely won’t disclose the amount it sold for.

$190k for a 7.1 seems like a stretch. Did it have coolant lines done? IMS addressed (you mentioned oil leak)?

White .1 GT3 is as good as it gets, outside of RS variant.

You weren't! I had a buddy who was 100% buyer at around 200k. I thought there might have been a chance, but alas I was wrong. I'm just going to have to bide my time and wait for that elusive Canadian gt2 with sofas, suspect dme, bad carfax, and 50k miles....then I'll join the club!!!!

sorry yes, I do have answers.
1. Car is completely stock, so no coolant line pinning or welding.
2. Gt/RS/turbo don’t have an IMS issue like the Carreras/Boxers of that era

same, I did my little “deal-o-meter” measuring, market, effort, return and wife sentiment and said $200k is a good number. I mentally prepared myself for a few years of driving it myself to see if I wanted to keep it and a rebuild if I didn’t. In the end it’s best because unlike the dealers I still answer to a higher power when random cars show up in the driveway.

Guessing he meant RMS. Thanks for all the detail, that’ll help someone out when purchasing.
