The difference between the wholesale (what dealer gives you) and retail value of your trade probably approximates the sales tax, so it's really a push.
In other words, you will be in the same position if you sold it on your own (at retail) and paid sales tax on the entire purchase price of your new Porsche. It may be easier to trade in your old vehicle, but you're not realizing a wind-fall.

But I agree that a decent part of that carry over sales tax was lost because of the lower trade value.

My MSRP is $170k. But with tax (9.03% + Gas Guzzler), registration ($3400 in Colorado 
), full clear bra ($4500), and tint ($500), I'm at $195K before I even get to drive the damn thing.
Edit: To be fair I'm only paying half the sales tax due to the value of my trade-in, but otherwise it would have been $195K out the door.

Yep, its sucks big time. It's based on the vehicles MSRP. A "normal car" in the $40k range is about $850. But the GT3 is going to be around $3400 based on our DMV's estimator.
I just did the estimate for a 918 assuming it was new. I would have to pay roughly $88k in sales tax and $17.5k in registration fees each year. That's more than what I paid for my 991.1 C4S.

Only six people got the free wheel color? That is shockingly low. I would be third on the list and that is with LWBs and lift and almost $1k of additional options (tank, autodim, fire extinguisher).

Yup, with Sapphire blue I'm under $160k and with Miami Blue I'm a few grand over $160k.

Someone should order one with just the free options or maybe just the tank for $140. It would still be a great car.
I would have been happy to pay $13k for PTS (had it worked out), but I cringe every time I clicked an option. $700 for autodim is ridiculous, but now I am driving home in the dark every day and I get blinded by some SUV I remembered why I clicked. I should really drop the lift as I got to the point I could basically off-road my lotus without scraping, but slowing down to 1 mph and taking things at a 45 degree angle or even a 45 degree angle from the wrong lane gets old fast. I mean I still do it in the 993 out of habit mainly, but I make up for it taking speed bumps without slowing down in the trucks.
Paying $1200 to get wheels in a different color is crazy to me but everyone seems to be doing it. Based on these orders the silver wheels will be the rare ones!

What else did you get to get it that high? PCCB? LEDs and Leather?
