Ruf 3400s

[OklahomaBoxster]

With an asking price of $60,000, this 2001 Ruf 3400s costs as much as a 981 Boxster. But I'd no question rather have the Ruf. With only 12 made, this is by far my favorite Porsche, and its not even a Porsche

Here is a good review of this amazing car;

Is a RUF Boxster really worth 4x the going price for Boxster S? I'd love to own one but the 3400s is a pretty mild upgrade by Ruf standards and this is a huge premium. Is the Ruf name worth that much?

The Kermit green one cool!

It's simply because of how few were made I am sure, I really don't see how this is any better than the average 3.4 conversion any of us could do with a fraction of the money.

No it's not worth that much unless it is..... to that rare buyer who would rather have this over a similarly powered and priced Boxster Spyder for example.
If RUF list a 'magazine car' for a price that's only marginally higher than what the hardware upgrade would otherwise fetch from a less familiar shop, its not so flattering to RUF.
So better to let it sit for a steep price. I'm guessing they're not thin on cash these days.

As much as i like it that car is no way worth that kind of money . A 987S mk2 will leave it in the dust for much less money. I think they will have trouble getting 30 for it .

You can get a brand new 2014 Boxster S with the 315hp 3.4L for $63K which I think is more HP than this 911 3.4L

I'd rather have the 2014 Boxster S. It's new, has a warranty, has about the same power plus it's has 12 years of advances. I was just thinking if this car still has the factory IMS? Don't forget the vinyl window.

I would not pay the money, but I will say that this ruf is worth the money. So few were made, someone will pay, and they will sell It for the same if not more a few years down the road.

[OklahomaBoxster]

It's not about the features/power this car has that makes it worth it to me, it's the fact of what it is, and how rare it is

[coreseller]

Beautiful Car!! Too much Money!! They'd be lucky to fetch half their asking price.....RUF's are no doubt aspirational Porsches, but mainly to the 911 crowd. Hopefully they get it.

[TeamOxford]

I believe this particular RUF has been for sale for about a year and a half.

Anything with a RUF name on it is overpriced, believe me I know........

[Porsche9]

Yes overpriced. But also gorgeous.
