Wanted- RHD RS2

[cristyn]

Hi,
Anyone know of a great RS2 for sale, good miles, service history etc as I want it as my daily/family use car. RHD non modified ideally, and leather interior (I assume more hard wearing with the impact of a 3 month year old daughter's output!!?).
Not an urget time purchase as need to shift my old 911 SC first, no room for the buggy
Cheers

Pistonheads, looks like a nice silver one on there. 77,000 RHD

The silver one on pistonheads at 77K miles looks nice but you would need to budget for 5 tyres as it has the wrong tyres on it. Dunlop 8080 tyres in width 245/40/ZR17 are dangerous on a 7" rim. The correct tyre size (on tyres available today) for the 7" OEM rims is 225/45ZR17. The RS Blue one at around the same mileage also looks good.

and both good price wise? the black one on PH for $10k but 110k on the clock not worth a look? I assume better to go low mileage and spend a bit up front as a rule of thumb thanks for the help!!

Best car's to look for are ones with history. If you can get proof of work done on car, that's a bonus.
Don't buy a car that needs all the job's doing on it.
Mine as far as I can tell is sound as far as the real expensive stuff is concerned.
But it was missing a lot of small items, when added up come to a tidy sum
Between 10 and 12k with higher mileage would get a good example.

Always buy the RS2 that has been through an enthusiasts hands. These cars usually need several grand spending at 10-12years old. Main areas IME Calipers, lower door trims, dampers for starters
