I'll start with an apology, as I'm sure this will be a duplicate, but I cannot see how to search the forums without just ending up out at google?!
I'm trying to get hold of a 997.2 gt3rs and currently there seem to be just 2 in the market (JZM and RPM). Quite a gap in price between them, some of that seems obvious (owners, prep) but some of that is less so (mileage, spec, colour).
Conscious history will be pretty key, is anybody on here able to offer any insight into these 2 cars?

Thanks all, that helps
I'm not going to get too hung up on the colour of the car (grey with guards red my preferred), instead I want to make sure its a good car with a solid history. Given the community is pretty small, any first-hand knowledge of these two, or any others available, would be great.

Cheers all, and nice to see some of your cars!
To answer your question Digga, mostly road/show but probably a couple of track days if I can. Not looking to win those, rather just to let it loose and see what that feels like. Not intending on big mileage, probably 1-2k/year which I feel cars need, so not really in the market for those with a premium because they've got delivery miles, I'll change that pretty quickly.
Would like a 4.0 as a 'thing' but think the 3.8 is the one I've settled on as a 'thing I can use and enjoy'. If I can find a good one at a good price.

Black and white one has FSH but only paperwork from 1 in 2020, i.e. no ability to really go through and understand much. Major service apparently in 2022 but again, not much to see.
Going to spend some time with the red and white one next week which is effectively 1 owner and will have RPM prep prior to sale. Feels chunky money for +20,000 miles but hard to guage market with only 2 cars out there.

Hi LaSource, thanks for posting!
Would be great to know when you had the car and for how long and if you know any of the other owner's. Feel free to message me if easier.
My point re the service records is that there is no paperwork accompanying the stamps so I can’t see what was done/replaced in addition to the normal service to build that view of history. I had a manual 430 a while back which was similar but had comfort through buying via a Ferrari dealer with 2 year warranty. I then spent some time calling around to get copies of its history sent to me.
