Ok this is a rough one...

Does anyone have or know anyone that has a high mileage RS 4.0, preferably in black. Talking over 20k miles here...

I have a pal thats looking for one.

chillindrdude

Probably not too many of these....most are garage queens, collector cars....sadly.

Porsche North Houston has a black one with just over 20k miles. Just reduced the price to $380k... Might want to start there?

He's looking at that car hard. If it had few difference he'd be all over it. Preference is black/red optioned seats and a late serial.

mooty

late serial?
why does it matter if he wants hi miler
for
driving

there were no on going changes for
the 4.0

pnh car is very clean as i know the car
and i think it's priced too long.

most don't know the real prices 4.0 trades st or
maybe i just have stupid friends who's paying WAY
more than most will believe.

Please correct me if i'm wrong,
I'm under the impression that Serial # means nothing in terms of sequence off the line - much like the 918's . Serial does NOT equate sequence it rolled off the line ?

Tesla = vin for signature = sequence rolled off the line.
I have #430, which by any-means it's "too late" to be a collectable or too early ?
( kidding i dont GAS , ironically it spells gas)

mooty

u have a tesla?
man i lost respect
i do my best everyday to pollute
tie air and u do
the opposite lmao

OP, beggars can't be choosers. You want to pay premium you get what you want. You want to be picking pay the premium. You don't, you get to have compromises.

Your "buddy" either needs to raise his budget or look at a wider offering of cars.

F1CrazyDriver

cmon you forgot about it ? hahaha
had it since 2013 - brand new. Told you THEN it's was the best car i'v ever driven.
Still is the best car from A to B. Did i tell you to buy stock after i told you it was the best car i' ever driven and stock was at $23 dollars ?
I also pollute, havent you seen my "headers" thread a few post below ?


Yes i'm a hippie at heart....

Smart car too offset polution as well !
Cayenne to pollute
Unimog to pollute... must i continue ?

rave426

I'm slowly talking him out of the serial number fetish lol.

Lol...well it is my buddy. Its surely aint me. If I could afford an RS 4.0 i'd actually spend as much as I was comfortable with to get what I want. I know these cars will be doubled in value before long.

mooty

they have more than trippled their msrp some 4x more now.
of course only delivery mile cars.

rave426

Yep. I think they will take a sharp spike again as soon as Porsche turbos everything.

mooty

^ oh no, then more garage queens. i need to buy a few. maybe i need to call john at PNH

turbofever

has anyone studied the improvements of the 4.0's suspension?

is it comparable to set of ohlins road and track although not active damping.

as in .. will a set of tractive coilovers or b16 bilsteins with the dsc be better than a 4.0

I wonder if the car is really that much better over a well setup 997

mooty

there is no reason to change 4.0 dampers unless you want to move to better ohline beyond road and track. or MCS two way, JRZ two ways, penske and such.
