[QUOTE=Dodaleca;14887778]You could see if option 640 was listed on the build sheet (original or from VIN) or present on the build sticker ( if one can be found).[/QUOTE
Dealer installs show up on the build sheet? First I ever heard of this unless maybe it was added upon original delivery where it could be added to the window sticker. But I think you misunderstood my question, I know what the factory option is and this one does not have it.

I don’t think anything your porsche dealer installs (even when OEM) gets added to the build sheet. It won’t show up on a COA.
I do know Ryan. He’s a really nice guy who grew up loving cars. I think over time he amassed a pretty large and special collection of cars and it got to a point where he decided to start RFMC. A lot of these cars he’s owned for years before getting his dealers license. The spec on his CGT is unreal...
You were looking at the guards red GT3?

Yes I did misinterpret your question - I thought you meant it had the sport chrono clock and you wanted to see if it was factory installed.
Didn't 997.2 Turbo sport choro also add dynamic engine mounts as well?

[QUOTE=Dodaleca;14888491]Yes, it did and I'm not sure if the dealer install also includes the mounts (if not, even more reason to have spec'd this). I know with 997.2 GT3s where DEMs were not spec'd, they could be added on later so long as the car came the wiring harness/pigtails to allow you to retrofit if wanted. But I don't know if the same applies for the Turbos.

6 owners is a lot - I didn't know that. But when I saw the car there it was in pristine condition. Nice spec too (full leather dash/seats looked really nice on a GT car). I'm shocked to hear he wouldn't send it out for PPI though, especially with how close Porsche of Roslyn and South Shore Porsche are to him. Now that we're talking about it I texted him to see what happened with the car. Apparently he still has it - he's been sorting through front axel lift issue. Maybe ring him if you're still interested.

He gave me a low, sight unseen offer for my car, so even if the GT3 was perfect, we were still too far apart. But thanks for reaching out about it. My guess is that it'll also need some general maintenance and coolant pipes pinned.

Back on topic, I'd be curious to hear Ryan's take on the 997.2 Turbo market based on the 2 he has for sale. Again, I'm surprised they haven't moved and he keeps dropping the asking prices. They both seem spec'd pretty well. Neither has PTV/LSD but a proper LSD can definitely be added if preferred.

i talked to him too about both when they just popped up, had him send me a couple pics, but the numbers were just a bit high imo. weird about the PPI... i recently found one but it wasn't a short search. pricing over the past year has been about even if not a slight uptick but thats not overly mathematical, just based on a few (~10 or so) i was tracking/interested in.

Maybe he's had 95K a few times but feels like he's leaving money on the table? I'm equally as surprised, especially on the 12'. Last year made and that particular car looked like it had been sitting in a plastic bubble.

I think some of them will just sit on the car and wait for the buyer who is willing to just pull the trigger on it (theres a few that have been lingering for sale for 6+months, etc). some may be weekending the cars themselves (depending on size/nature of the "dealership").
