I wonder how many existing members create new personas and then post with these types of posts to rile everybody up.

Unless the trend is now for these new ones to search the web on where to post but NOT to search the forums they post in.

How many will admit that they fell for it?

Either way it sounds like more money than brains in order to show off.

I was faced with this decision and refused to give these dealer ****** my $$$. I found a 2016 with a G engine and never looked back. I have a mantra, never ever pay over MSRP for any car.

I do wonder the same.. but then again I just added to this thread so I guess I'm part of the problem. Just like ADM's, if no one answered these threads they would disappear.

GT cars are tough against depreciation.

If this were to be the case; which I would bet against; there will still be some sort of numbered GT3.2 RS run to close out the 991 run- sort of a farewell kiss

1. Is that a good deal?

Any advise will be very appreciated.
Depends.

How much money do you have?

Recent Powerball winner? Yes, good deal.

You are so wrong about 2RS will be turbo!
