The last 100k Kermit sold for 100k within days. That was RHD though.

Or save some money and buy:

2008 (FR)
21,00km
LHD
77,500 GBP

Or better value:

2012 (DE)
4800km
LHD
PCCB/Club SPort
108,400 GBP
http://goo.gl/lJqeAC

Love the BS PH advert "sure fire collectable investment", right so why not keep it and double their money? Or "To find one in this colour in this condition is very rare", except I found two in 30 seconds. Checking continental dealership networks will yield at least one more methinks.

Personally I think it looks rough... Poor spec, no Ceramics, scratches in the front boot plastic and IMO Green is the worst / most horrid colour...

Heresy on these forums it seems but I totally agree.

Seems that the German private car has had a bump, with paint....... Not that it really matters, but it will put an awful lot of purchasers off.

Plus some Foreign Dealerships/ OPC's are not particularly bothered IF a car has had an accident and is fully repainted, if their customer is a regular and has it on SOR.

There is a Porsche Green 7.1 RS car, fully warranted for sale, fully repainted after a trackday shunt, in Europe, on sale now......

Highly probable. If you have actual details and pictures why not add it to the GT3 and RS avoidance thread!

And low miles, and it had been washed..obviously in France you would get no where near the somewhat speculative UK/PH bubble price so monsieur thought he'd have a go at the rosbifs....surely someone will snap this one up :-)

Its so strange. At the time, the orange was THE colour to get.

What happened? Is it just cos its rare?

Humans are weird.

I would not own a green car. Well I did when I was 17 but beggers can't be choosers and it was a mint low mileage 1970 Hillman Hunter. On very good advice of a mate who's father owned one for years. Restrict your speed to 95mph. It will manage 100mph but the engine will let go if you try. An eclectic post I guess

You know what? Green is my least favourite colour. I dont like it.

But on a 997 GT3RS it is just so right. I cant explain it, it makes no sense, it just is.

Quite like the green ... no, the only thing wrong with that car (save the price) is that it's not a Gen2 whistle
