The two most common RS colors for sale right now are Black/Orange and GB/Red.

Not a shocker given black was 2nd most produced on 7.1 behind orange. And i believe GB was 2nd behind white? If not it was 1st? Someone will clarify.

So, it's just reflection of production.

A $1,200 "accident" is a scratch on the fender.

The car is priced fairly and I suspect will be sold quick.

GB was the most produced color for the .2 RS followed by white then aqua blue regarding just the regular colors.

I still dislike Carfax for this reason. The most simple repair and your car plummets in value 10-20%. Even with proper documentation, it seems that people still want a large discount. Which, given how much Carfax is valued on resale, I understand. If only people realized how many accidents are never reported to Carfax.

Carfax is a mess
I have a car less than 100 miles sitting in storage since new.
Carfax showed it had accident...
took long time to convince them to removed THEIR error.
then you have moronic service advisors inputting wrong mileage then you get "mileage discrepancy"

Congrats. If I had been in the market for a 997.2rs, that car would be on its way to my driveway :-)

I'd love to hear what all went into $100,000 of extra goodies! That is a lot of goodies.

exactly - pay out of pocket w/no insurance involvement = no Carfax report
