Ive been looking for a while for a RS but have yet to find one in the condition id like it in. I figured id see if anyone is
ready to sell...

So basically looking to buy a 98 RS coupe, I will consider other years (even Brightons and L's but must be a coupe, or a Legacy SS
but would have to be so clean i could eat off it haha) but i would mostly like the 1998 model (i like rare stuffz!). I have a
boat load of cash in hand for the car (not saying im going to give 20k for a RS but I know what there worth in a clean condition and willing to pay) just looking
to find one in the condition i would like, please no rust buckets i have attempted to fix a rusted out car before and im not interested in

sinking my pockets into that hole again. basically everything else will be considered, i dont care if it has 300k miles on it as long as its a
clean example of a car. Let me know what you have if anything, thanks all!

 
RS25.com, or try me at the end of the summer; I might let my swapped GC8 go for the right price.

 
If you are looking to swap the car down the road, I suggest 99-01 just because of the wiring to the speedo. For some reason the speedo is wired differently than 93-97 and 99-01.

good luck finding a GC, if I could do it again, I would travel many miles to get a completely rust-free one.

 
I know a ton about these cars, thanks for the suggestions tho guys. 98 is really the one id like personally, if i had my way (good luck me) id be getting a 98 arcadia green 5 speed with no mods. Im not really interested in a heavy modded or swapped car either but thank you for the offer. Ive also been on the RS forums for over 3 years looking as well as nasioc, new england subarus, and every other major forum you can think of haha. Gone to look at about 15 or so claimed "rust free" cars only to find they were mostly worst than the ones that people claimed had rust imagin that! One was so bad i was surprised the sunroof didnt fall in because from the front of the sunroof to the windsheild there was basicly no car but the owner (a shady manchester stealership) claimed it was RUST FREE! and looking back at the picture he sent after i had gone to see it you could tell he was very obious in trying to hide all the rust from the images.

PS: probably going to be taking a peak at Matts RS very soon

yea haha i know of all there issues, mainly the internal head gasket leaks with the DOHC model. I dont mind this as its going into a collection and wont be a DD car at all. Im also planning on fully restoring it if i do get a 98 so the engine would be fully rebuild with all new seals.

How would i get in touch with him? looks like hawaii plates???

just called and i believe left my number with his mother? was a ladie that answered. it does look super clean and exacally what i want minus the 98 thing but i can get over that if its as clean as it looks.

 
Ill be meeting up with him on thurday to take a look at the car, it sounds exacally like what i want in every way so i think i may own me a RS very soon

wish me luck!

 
only thing id have to say about that (they are prob both as clean) matts has had rust and it was repaired, Petes car has never had rust and this is something that definitly appeals to me more. Matts is still on the table but im going to see Petes and go from there. You cant beat a no winter garaged car haha
