I am considering trading in my 991.1 GT3 and upgrading to a 991 GT3RS. I do not track my cars so its just a weekend car.
(I have given up trying to find an allocation for the new 991.2 GT3s)

- is it a good time (Price wise) to buy a GT3RS now or wait?
- outside of the track, how do you current GT3RS owners compare it to the driving a GT3?

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

 

I have had both. When my allocation for an RS arrived, I traded in my GT3. I found the GT3.1 with 4 ways to be a perfect weekend and drive around town car. It was even more comfy then my 991 4S that I also had at the time. The RS with LWBs is not pleasant drive around town, as such I now only use it for track days. That is why I have ordered a GT3.2 with manual and 4 ways... it will be my fun around town and weekend car. The RS will stay for track days only. Others will think differently, but I find the LWBs awful for daily living, and my wife hates them. Plus, after getting used to tracking my RS, it is rather boring around town when you can�t ring out that motor. No wrong answer. The RS gets much more attention however if you are ok with that. Good luck!

 

Another “should I buy now or wait?” thread.....shocking

This has been beaten to death already. How is anyone suppose to accurately forecast prices and value?

 

Didn't your last trade in attempt (for a 991.2 GT3 @ MSRP) result in a rejected value because it was too low in your mind, the equivalent of paying ADM? What makes you think it'll be any different now?

 

My opinion....dealers are more aggressive with a trade number for an RS vs a .2GT3 as they want to move them along.....I would bet good money he’ll get more for his trade on an RS as mentally it makes the buyer think they’re getting a great deal. It’s all just a numbers game

 

Yes it did, but the current trade I am considering is actually decent for a GT3RS. Nothing like the previous trade numbers.

 

Thanks for the feedback.

 

On this same notion, while the RS prices are coming down; there is plenty of threads and data points suggesting that the 991.1 prices are trending down also. So you might get a better price on the RS - sure, but I would expect a lower trade number on the 991.1 non-RS trade also.

Matter of fact, everyone needs to decide what car they want - find one, buy it, drive it IMO.

 

? same dealership?

 

you tell me where the economy is going to be in 5 years and I'll tell you where RS prices will be...

 

Amen to that

 

No different one.

 

Good point lol.

 

u may not be alive in 5 years.
just buy and drive.
