Cost to buy a 964 RS

[Richie200]

Wondered if many on here have come across the 964 RS America. Are there any significant differences to the euro market RS and perhaps more crucially, what you would expect to pay for one. Any help and much appreciated. I know condition and mileage have a great affect on price but a rough guide would be handy

For US market - as euro RS not sold in US. about half the price or less of a euro RS - usually quite a few for sale on mobile.de - some used as a basis for Euro RS replicas.

cut and pasted stuff for speed from wikipedia:

In order to please devoted American 911 enthusiasts who wanted an RS model, Porsche produced the RS America. The RS America was produced as a model year 1993 and 1994 car based on the USA Carrera 2. The cars were offered in standard colors red, black and white and optional colors midnight blue metallic and polar silver. Several paint to order cars were manufactured in speed yellow. The RS America featured a distinctive "whale tail" spoiler, a partially stripped interior with flat door panels (from the European RS) and carpeting along with a luggage shelf replacing the rear seats. Cloth covered sports seats, 17 inch wheels and M030 Sports Suspension were fitted as standard. The logo "RS America" was written on the deck lid along with an "RS" logo in front of the rear wheels. Deleted to save weight were power steering, cruise control, powered side mirrors, air-conditioning, sunroof and radio, although the air-conditioning, sunroof and radio as well as a limited slip differential could be ordered as options. The RS America was listed by Porsche as weighing 2,954 pounds (1,340 kg), 77 pounds (35 kg) lighter than the weight listed for a stock Carrera 2. The standard USA Carrera 2 brakes, engine and gearbox were used.

Many thanks Ross, I guess not particularly desirable then! Prices are still quire strong for them though. Crazy how the market has changed over just a short period (last 5 years or so).
