Thanks, very helpful!

When I got my GT3 over 9 years ago we didn't have the TYD so this part of the process is new to me...and I can't stand it. I liked being in the dark better...

Any movement for anyone out of jacksonville?

Craig67

Negative. Been there since 2/13.

My 4RS is due in Baltimore this weekend. Does anyone have any insight into how cars are moving through the process in Baltimore. Appears there are some issues in Jacksonville.

brokerben

same here in Jax, no movement since Feb 13.... my speculaton is although we weren't affected by the stop sale, our cars just sat behind others that were.

Congrats Alan this is very exciting. I had one of my beloveds land on March 15th as well years ago which is also my son's birthday and the Ides of March.

I kind of want delivery of my car delayed, because that will give me more time to decide what to trade in.

Is a trade required? What's the choice between?

Manifold

Not really required, but somewhat expected. We have 10 cars, and I'd like to downsize, or at least not add a car and have 11. So with a 4RS coming in probably next month, something should go. Candidates for trade in are:

- 992 GT3: Got this at MSRP, market value is a lot higher than MSRP, dealer will only pay MSRP for trade in, so financially it makes sense to not trade this in. And I do like the car, the front end is magic.

- 992 TTS: This is a 2021 CPO. Got it last year for $236k and the current market value is about the same as what I paid. I absolutely love the aesthetics of unique build, would never be able to find a similar build in a used car, and building one now would be $263k assuming I can get an allocation, which is unlikely, and I wouldn't want to spend that much anyway. I don't 'need' this car, but the performance has a unique wow factor. And it looks like the 992.2 TTS will by hybrid, whereas I prefer non-hybrid.

- 991.2 C4S cab: Wife and I love this car and the build. We enjoy driving it top down and it's our only Porsche convertible (also have a E93 M3 convertible). The performance isn't on the level of a TT/S, but the car is very fast and capable, and is fun to drive in a spirited manner. We want to keep this car, but if we trade it in, we could eventually replace it with another 991 cab. I'm leaning toward trading this in, but it's more the wife's car than mine, so she's not happy with this idea.

We also have a 991.2 3RS and McLaren which are in a price range similar to the 4RS, but they are 'not for sale'.

I'd be willing to trade in our Cayman R because I think the 4RS supersedes it, but the wife says "No!" to the idea, too much nostalgia.

All of our other cars have a market value of less than $50k.

^ Your wife sounds like a gem !! Congrats

mine hates everything in the garage, views them as the enemy.

Maybe I need to buy her a PDK Boxster so she can enjoy the hobby also? Probably my mistake.

Manifold

I would only have a few cars if she didn't like cars. She and I both go to the track together. When she first saw the 992 TTS, 991.2 3RS, and McLaren, she said "Damn!" and I knew that I could have them if I wanted them.

I think @Manifold wins wife of the year award. Justifying keeping each of the possible trade in candidates is a rare situation.

As alluded to, I'd trade in the 991.2 C4S cab.

On the surface I would say the cab. But the loss of a convertible can be a sad day. If you trade it you may find yourself shopping for an SRS.

Manifold

I wanted an SRS, until I realized that it just doesn't work for me. I need a top which goes up and down at the touch of a button, because the top would be going up and down frequently and fussiness of the SRS top is just too much. Plus, there's too much overlap between the 4RS and SRS, can't justify having both.
