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

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

thanks - don't suppose you/anyone can recommend an independent garage/inspection service who could give any prospective purchase a thorough look over?
