But if its really got 415bhp it must have a 997 Gt3 engine - that explains it then!

My mate just bought one private for 51 k, with 9 k on the clock. And he got a spare set of wheels with new tyres! One owner (blue stripe)
You can ask top money for anything, what you get is another matter. The guy was going to live in Australia. Dont blame him.

That's about right. Car is only for the most uncompromising drivers and if you're pleasantly plump like me, the seats hurt. There's a large quanity of UK cars sold, for sale right now - so they can't have that many appreciative owners.
Paragon have one now with 12k for £59K, would expect to sell it for £57 and if it's their's would only have paid £51 or so.
As usual, in 15 years time it will possibly be the most desirable Porsche ever, won't it. People value retro rare racers more above all else - so why should the 996 RS not be safe long term?
