In NY how would sales tax work if both are private parties? When the cars are registered both have to pay sales tax? What value would be placed on each car?

The way to make that work is to enlist a used car dealer to facilitate the deal.

I could tell you, but, well, you know.

Cool color and your MSRP is almost the exact same as my Spyder. Unfortunately, I had decided to keep it over the T.

Are you sure? I'd love a pair of Sharks in the garage.

Does that mean you'd keep the GTS 4.0 along with a Spyder?

Yes, I'm keeping the CGTS40. I'd likely move the Spyder to my other house. So a 718 in each home. What could be better?

I hope to keep the CGTS forever, or as close to that as makes sense. I bought a 10 year B2B warranty shortly after getting the car, realizing how much I love driving it.

I do like the spec of the 911T. So what don't you like about it or how it drives that you want to trade for a Spyder?

Kramer said Apple is a stock you just own. Spyders are like that. They don’t depreciate, they’re fun as hell and there won’t be any more so there’s no downside in owning one. I vote you buy Adrifts Spyder and keep the 911, that way you’ll have everything covered.

I prefer:
- the smaller feel of the 718.
- steering feel in the mid engine over the lighter front end of the 911, although it's drastically improved in the 992 over my floaty-front end 996.
- NA engine over turbo
- 6 spd is way smoother, quieter shifting and just better than the 7 spd.
- Too much tech in 992. Have you ever tried to just turn off the AC compressor? No physical button. It's either a few screen taps or "Hey Porsche, turn off my AC." Both more annoying than a button.

Now, having said all that, I love my 911T and very well may keep it. Nothing looks more iconic and sexier than that fat rear and wide hips! And I really love the way this one came together, with the options and colors. Yea, forget it, I'm keeping it! LOL

This thread is going to move to the FS/TRADE section, but I think it will remain here as a conversation as well. Stand by for the move...

Are you moving into a Spyder RS?

Does the Spyder drive that much different than the GTS?
