Edit 11/25/2017 – the asking price on this example has dropped a substantial $40,000 from $159,888 to $119,888.
I have been looking for one of these for what feels like forever: a 911 RS America with limited options. I’d still love to find one that lacks the radio, having only the limited-slip differential as a selected option, but the one we see here which lacks both the sunroof and A/C is close enough. So many of these lightened 964s have retained those heavier options and while the RS America doesn’t fully approach the Carrera RS in the no frills department it’s still nice to see one that has gone the extra step.

It seems that this seller understands how long it can take to find a RSA with these limited options because the asking price is well higher than what we’ve seen for one of these in quite a while. And even those we’ve seen priced closer to $120K than $160 haven’t been selling very quickly, if at all. These are rare 964s, but they’re also readily available on the second-hand market if you’re willing to pay the steep cost. There was a time a couple years back when RSA values were rising quickly, but those days are well behind us. Prices haven’t plummeted or anything like that, but it’s clear rising values will be reserved for only the best low-mileage examples.
This one comes in at pretty low mileage, but not the sort of ultra-low miles that I’d suspect would be necessary at this asking price. How the lack of options plays in, we’ll have to see. Some people really want the fully-optioned examples, while others are looking for one like this. In either case, those options do provide their own aspect of rarity to an already rare model.
