You know what....the trade number might be low...who cares....selling that car privately would be brutal and you €™ve got a new .2 GT3 on the way....whatever the numbers are you did the deal so you can stomach it.....the money spent will be LONG forgotten after the first drive....congrats!!!!
i sell to dealer at 20k less than private.
drop car
get money
done
private sales....
excuses 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6....
i have no interest to hear anything a buyer wants to tell me...
just wire me the money.
some of my buyers are like that.... and they get the good stuff.
others ask too many questions.... lose the deal to the dealer

the track miles surely account for a lower trade in - there is inevitable wear & tear vs a garage queen. many stories about close to MSRP trade in values, I did not get this with a tracked car.

I too prefer to sell to the dealer and be done with it. But the price needs to be reasonable, the dealer doesn't need to make a huge profit for the transaction to be worthwhile on both sides. When I traded in my 997 cab to get a Cayenne, the trade-in price was about $5K below what the dealer sold it for, and the price on the Cayenne was good. (BTW, I want that cab back, now that I have garage space for it!)

I do not track but if one is going to be buying these GT3s/RS ect for close to and over $200,000; If I was a track guy I would buy the GT4 to flog around the track. These cars getting too expensive to beat to crap.
Wait for the .2 RS- these will be going for $100,000 over so they will be in the high $200,000

When 991.1 GTR3RSs suddenly starting speculatively trading at new Ferrari 488 prices ( up to $400k a couple yrs back) , many long time " relaxed " track rat friends of mine immed stored them away and also bought GT4s to use at the track instead ... they never did that with their prior model 996 GT3s or 997 GT3/GT3RSs !
Wouldn't surprise me if the sharper sales guys will try to pad their commisions and sell future allotments of GT3RS/ GT2RS as a pkg including specing/ ordering a new 718 GT4 ( or unicorn GT4RS ) at the same time !

He took one look at the tires and said something along the lines of "That's what we like to see!"
If it cost me anything in trade, it was worth it.

OK maybe I'm missing something but how would a dealer verify if a GT3 has been tracked or not? If you put on new MPSC2s tires and brake pads prior to trade in, how would the dealer dispute anything you tell him/her? It's not like ECU tunes where if they really want to check if a car has been tuned, the dealer can plug the car into their diagnostic machines and scan various parameters etc. I'm not advocating that sellers be dishonest (ok maybe, but do dealers disclose everything about a used car that they sell?) Seriously how would a dealer tell if a 991.1 GT3 has been tracked or not?

^Tire clag is a good indicator. Normally very difficult to get it all off from the under body, in the wheel well's and all over the calipers..
