To those outside NZ this may be hard to comprehend. The reasons for this are
mainly related to price, our small population, an even smaller population
of car nuts and ready availability of all manner of performance cars if you're
prepared to pay and wait! We have minimal regulations for importing cars
compared to USA and Australia.

The second hand RS2s are on sale for NZD$145-146000. That's USD$103-104000!
I think they are over-priced and concur with Dave's suspicions about long-term
collectability, but we may well be wrong on this.

...Whoooa! $104K! Even in car overpricing country #1, Holland, with
steal-you-blind taxes, these cars are priced more reasonable. In German
magazines, I saw a couple of used ones for sale at about DM65K (US$ 40K).

In this price range I think these aren't overpriced, and the Porsche
connection should assure long-time resale. It had lots of positive reviews
here, being considered superior to the ultimate hot wagon: the Volvo 850
T5R.

I wish I could afford one, this is my ultimate dream machine...
