any comments on this RS ?
looking at this RS now. after contemplation between a GT2 and RS, I feel the RS is a better choice as I hear the RS is the best porsche out right now...
I like the options on the car, has high miles, but I like to drive my cars ( 5k miles in my ferrari in 2 1/2 months ) so just seeing what you guys have to say.

It is a nice looking well optioned RS. I would have to see it in person and try to pick it up for 125 or less due to mileage. I had a choice between the GT2 and RS and chose the later. For me it was the right choice.

Never quite understood the 'one owner' thing. Isn't it possible that the one owner car was not treated properly or may have more inherit problems then let say a 2 or 3 owner car. If carfax and a pre-purchase inspection show no issues and wear items are in line with the mileage personally I don't see a problem. IMO a good car is a good car. Regarding price, everything is negotiable in this market. I have no affiliation or personal information regarding the car in question. My comments are only general and in response to, one or multiple owner cars.

yeah what is up with that. it's like choosing a girl who's been banged by one guy for 1000 times over a girl who's been banged by 4 different guys, once from each guy. if you do your homework right, you'll choose the one that's low maintenance.

wow, thank you guys very much, will have to check out that registry next time I look at a car. also don't have a carfax / autocheck right now, as they always expire on me when I need them
well off to look around again I guess. good thing it's winter over here

there is no guarantee that one owner car is better maintained than multiple owner car. but the chance of having every owner taking great care of the car (and reduce numbers of "joy" ride by friends) diminish rapidly when the number of owner increases.
it's kind of like STD. the more partners you have the greater the chance of contracting some form of disease

the one-dude chick may have been mistreated and bottled things in. she could pop at the next unsuspecting guy. the chick who's been with multiple dudes may have been no trouble at all. she just picked the wrong dudes!
