Default Need a daily Porsche please some advice!

Most probably I’m selling my 2019 gt3rs .... as much as I love my rs (my absolutely favorite car I have ever owned) I just can’t justify the monthly payments and I’m over the whole super car thing! What’s your opinion on my new Porsche... I’m gonna get the 992 4s but for now I need a car!
carrera t , gts , gts targa or turbo s ..... really want a manual so the s probably won’t happen!

If you liked your RS so much and want a Manual, how about GT3 (winged or Touring)? With Front Axle Lift, pretty much as useable as the others you mentioned but more fun to drive and less depreciation.

Maybe consider a GT4. You have both a manual option and a car that may fit your budget. Good luck.

Surprised you’re selling after our previous debates. But yes, buy a Touring. Best of both worlds plus manual transmission. Plus a 992 4s nicely optioned gets into non-PTS Touring territory anyways.

The 991.2 Targa GTS manual. Saw a 1400 mile $168k msrp for $145k about a month ago. Probably not available anymore, but gives you an idea. Kids love to see the roof come off.

As you mention you have monthly payments (meaning interest as well) and that you are over “the whole super car thing” why not get a 991.1 S or 4S and skip the bloated turbo 992? About a quarter of the price of the .2 3RS and makes for an amazingly capable daily.
Disclaimer: I own both.
