Nice car but no way is it worth 92K! It has 25,000 miles which brings the price down. If the car had up to 10,000 miles that car would be worth around
80-85K out here in California. In this economy can't hurt to offer much less and see if they go for it. When I bought my 2007 Turbo back in 2009, dealer had it listed for 121K, then down to 115K. Car only had 1800 miles on it! MSRP was 141K. I kept calling them every month and to make a long story short, got it for 92K after calling for several months. They will be sitting on this for a while if they don't come down. If you are a serious buyer, I am sure you can grind them down

What you can do is send the VIN to RUF in Germany, they keep records on all conversions. All conversions will have a letter of authenticity and a signed conversion sticker either under the boot or on the door jam. It looks like a really well optioned and modded car, no need for the wannabe badges IMO.
Totally agree.. If that was my car there would be no RUF badge even if it was an authentic RUF car.. That's not my thing.. I still haven't spoken to the dealer.. I'm a patient man...There is plenty of time to find a white specimen..

Had another e mail conversation with the dealer. Turns out nothing on the car is RUF.. Just badges.. I think I'll pass...That's stupid..

I dont know why people do that fake stuff....but that being said if you like the car and can get it at a price that you consider fair I would not let the badging keep me from the purchase. They can always be removed. Its still a sweet car.

Then wait to the last day of the month and make your offer, even better the last week of the year is the best time to deal. If you think the car will last...
