Lightbulb Dealer offering me an RS

My dealer has offered me an RS at sticker. Late December delivery. I already own a 6spd 2018 GT3 which I really love driving. But it would be cool to try both for a year.
What do you think the RS will be worth in a year- same or less?
I think I will keep the 6spd GT3.
Thanks

If it's for MSRP buy it....doubt you'll lose any money on it.

If you don't want it, I'll take that allocation if your sales guy is feeling generous. I realllly love my 6spd. But I've got the RS itch and have been considering trading up. If I could get an RS allocation at MSRP, I'd do it.

I love the manual transmission. I really do. But something about the RS is calling my name. Tiny bit more power (no difference I suppose). But a lot more aero and mechanical grip. Plus I like the loudness of all the vents and larger wing.
It's a tough decision. Just gotta decide if you want the top dog NA car or you really want the manual transmission.

One thing you have to include is the sales tax. Here in California its 7.25% regardless whether it is new or used. So tax alone runs over 10K on the RS.

Yeah, and there's no credit for a trade-in right? It's painful.

Keep them both for a while, and then sell the one you like least. Doubt you lose much money on either one.

Has to lock any day now for late December delivery. Sell me your GT3 and buy the RS. If you don't want that, keep the GT3, then give me the allocation.
You're a lucky guy no matter what you do!
Good luck.

I saw a Lizard Green on the highway yesterday coming my opposite direction. Looked great. But as nice as the RS is, I would be soo bored without manual transmission.

I am surprised that many like the styling of the RS over the GT3. The Wing(Bolt on) and other gimmicks just do not do it for me. Plus- I hate those Turbo scoops.

To each their own

The GT3 is a gorgeous, classy girl in a black dress. But the RS is raunchy in a good way. It's the same girl but with a chest tattoo and some piercings.

Not into chest tattoos, tramp stamps are OK though. Piercings are definitely fine by me.
