Default GT3RS owners.. trading in?

I've noticed a lot more GT3RS's in inventory the last couple of days on cars.com after the release of the new GT3 reviews/time

Any concerns for current GT3RS owners? I'm looking at one right now and not sure what i should do.

Best car ever. Engine was same as in 911R with no issues like earlier 9a1. Best car I've ever owned. Only selling to an Rs.2.

i cancelled a GT3 .2 allocation for an RS - just trying to find the right UV at a reasonable price - hard being patient though!

Not concerned, this is typical, time of year, new model roll over....etc... I looked at flipping mine, but inventory dump is big. I'll sit back...enjoy the car and figure out value later.

100%, there's no way my RS is going anywhere, unless it's for a 991.2 RS.

With that said, I think there will be an influx of cars coming up soon...991.1 RS flippers and speculators trying to unload before it's too late.

If you're actually driving your RS, you'll keep driving it...for now.

im in the same boat. so far seeing 220s now for RS's with PCCB and a lot of options which is a healthy sign

i guess it depends since im guessing you bought your car at MSRP? if so then i wouldn't be concerned at all, i guess my question was for those who bought with the bigger mark ups.

There will be more available once the .2 3RS is released. And the next GT2 or 2RS will liberate a few more.

OP, Get the 1.RS. Incredible car. I am keeping my UV/msrp car! My other RS' get very little attention.
Taking delivery of a manual .2GT3 by year end.

Yeah I was far over MSRP, when I meant flip I meant flip the car I got on the insurance replace. I'm pretty comfortable there will be short term value loss and as you pointed out, the inventory explosion in the last 6 weeks is pretty stark. Having lived through this with my GT2 RS, I'll just sit and wait and enjoy the car. The .2 will be incredible but by the time you work through not getting allocation (most of us) and waiting for them to hit the secondary market, then buying decently it's going to be a while. In the past I haven't always enjoyed the car enough while I waited and so I talked myself into just slowing down, enjoying this one for now and worry about the next one later. I think it will be a fantastic 6 month period to buy a .1 RS and enjoy for 18 months and make a decision later. Like I said I didn't buy well for sure and had I waited a few more months I would have saved $30-40k but to your point 220's with good options is getting to be good value, can you wait a few more months and squeeze a bit lower, probably.

Couldn't agree more. Best car I've ever had, and previously had 997.2 RS, 997 Turbo S and 991 GT3.

So much fun to drive and I enjoy and appreciate the wide body, big wing, 4.0l motor and overall aggressive appearance. Not for everyone, but to me, it's just awesome!

Passed on .2 GT3 allocation in favor of RS. Super happy with that decision.

Keeper. Concern? My only concern is that I can never get enough of it.

Adding .2 GT3, probably trade .2 GT3 for .2 RS unless I want to keep a more under the radar car in the garage.
