This is why I prefer to buy the non-rare cars at MSRP or lower and rack up miles on them.
Our Cayman R has almost 50k miles on it and unexpectedly became a collector's car, so while I do still take it for drives, I do hesitate a bit to put more miles on it because of the collectible aspect.
I think the GT4 RS will likely become a collectible. But not the 992.1 GT3/RS, since they'll be superceded by the 992.2 cars and probably something after that.

The GT2 RS s a really special and rare car. Truly a collector's car. Probably the only Porsche I wish I had bought at an ADM of say $50k. But because of the investment angle, I wouldn't have driven the car much, so I wouldn't really have been able to enjoy it.

Ask yourself this....
Why would there be a .2 variant? From an R&D investment side they have 0 reason to due such when there so much vested into the current 3rs and all 911 sales as a whole filled for atleast the next 2 years.

I wouldnt consider the 2rs rare by any means.

I don't understand the fixation on ADM.
A. Porsche sets cost to dealer at 175K and MSRP at 200K, Dealer gets ADM of 50K Buyer pays 225K. Dealer makes 75k.
B. Porsche sets cost to dealer at 175K and MSRP at 225K Dealer sells at MSRP. Buyer pays 225K. Dealer makes 75k.
C. Porsche sets cost to dealer at 175K and MSRP at 240K Dealer sells 15 below MSRP. Buyer pays 225K. Dealer makes 75k
All that matters is: Is the car worth 225k to the buyer or not.

On the GT4RS case.....this is basically a .2 and probably end of the line for this model, at least in pure N/A form.

I can't even take some of these recent posts seriously.
The fact we're now saying a PTS car doesn't matter on resale, or attempting to dictate ADM to a dealer who frankly doesn't need to sell the care to a "Karen" on the show room floor.
Maybe it's just time for those that can't pay to play just click the Unsubscribe button on this thread.
I mean after..... the markup that was on the GT2RS is/ was/ and forever will remain unreasonable since the 3RS basically beats its ring time and destroys its looks.
Bunch of clowns in here.

If you are strictly speaking monetarily....pts is not a good financial decision. It is crazy to even suggest paying that much extra for a color is a smart financial decision, add on the fact not everyone gets pts now (pts was the most picked color on the 18 GT3)....and it is just another GT3 now...
Sorry...just facts there. Feel free to enlighten me, it sounds like you got a pts

Some of them can work as investments, and the return on the investment isn't just the money you might make, but also the intangible pleasure of owning the car, even if you don't drive it much.
About a decade ago, I had a chance to buy a low miles 997.2 GT3 RS for around $105k and a 997 GT2 for around $130k. I passed because I didn't have a crystal ball.

Here is a good relevant transparent example for you pts people:
exhibit A: 2018 NOT a pts, 16,000 mile pdk lwbs PCCB gt3 and tracked heavily: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...he-911-gt3-62/
sells for about 2k over sticker
exhibit B: 2019 PTS 1,600 mile pdk lwbs PCCB Gt3 never tracked: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...he-911-gt3-23/
sells for about 18k over sticker...
PTS is not worth more than you paid Porsche, sorry. But, I would have purchased the pts in this case myself as to get a model year newer, 1/10th the miles, an epic color and never tracked and abused (I track and abuse, it takes a toll on your car) for only 20k more is a good value imo
Also, signal yellow is literally my favorite pts color coincidentally (and I am sure many others) and it didn't even do very well relatively speaking here.
