    I'll buy it from you in 15 years, quite possibly my favorite 911 made. I was drooling over one at VIR this year, same colors.

    I'm pretty sure the RSA will hold its value quite well.

    The American version is basically a cosmetic package (door cards, rear seat delete)... it's only about 70 pounds lighter than a regular Carrera 2, with the same standard engine, brakes, trans, etc. Does have an upgreaded suspension.

    That one even has A/C and power windows added... more weight...

    It will hold value better without a k&n filter, and with the wheels stock color... (black wheel 'fad' has jumped the shark... and they look like ***, imho) FWIW... :)


    Probably will hold value better than a Carrera 2... Don't expect it to be another Club Sport, though.

    What he said. Also make sure you like the seats for almost-daily driver duties.

    Those wheels totally ruin the look of that car. Looks like 5 years of brake dust compiled. Yuck. It will hold it's value though as it has done well during the first 15 years compared to most other sportscars.

    I have to have AC for DD, so that's a good thing.

    Yes, the wheels would ce the first thing to go.

    I assume the door panels have been cut for those speakers?

    The door panel were cut to fit the speakers, but the good news is replacement door panels are inexpensive ($300 pair for leather).

    Well, at least we can all agree to laugh at this clown. Too funny. Good find.

    Only the seam welded ones will rise in value.

    You may be right, but RSAs in the US seem to be holding in value.

    To UroTrash, +1 on red door pulls. I have a pair on a race car.
