I get the scoops comment but the WING; love the RS wing! If someone's a wing hater, they think u r an equal jack *** sporting a GT3 wing as an RS to the avg person on the street. So go bold or go touring I say.

Last I spoke with Jeff he advised me that they really don't try to keep used tires on a CPO car, that there wasn't really enough tread on them anyway and that they would just put on a new set.

cars.com has 59 .1 RS for sale now and like 125 .1 GT3. Those (GT3) actually have been holding steady and declining in #'s since a high of around 150 cars at one point.

Reality is, almost all selling at a premium still. Can't cherry pick a heavily tracked car as a reflection of the whole market. Plus it has 5K miles on it.

Will take quite a few .2's of others dropping to have a significant impact.

There was a multi-page thread on this topic recently filled with blathering ad nauseam.
No real consensus as to which was preferred. (what a shocker!)

If I could trade my GT3 straight up for a GT3RS, I might do it. If I had to add $$ to the deal, then no way.
On the other hand, if you had a 3RS, nobody in their right mind would trade it straight up for a GT3. Unless they really wanted an old-fashioned transmission really bad.
So, deciding which is 'better' depends on which you have. Suggesting they are pretty evenly matched.

I'd rather have the newer, improved engine. As a bonus, the car is faster too. Unfortunately, it's also a more refined, less raw ride.
And the turbo intakes and fender scars are a bit much. I'm also not a fan of the lard *** of the RS.
Plus, if you need any repairs (like a new fender), the RS costs are absurd. Exotic materials = exotic prices!

In any event, the resumption of more normal pricing is a good thing for all.

i think it's more emotional, performance wise they are quite close. RS has that emotional appeal (for some) that the regular GT3 does not. they're both very special cars. and some must have the top model in the range as well.

good to see prices deflating a bit, deciding between the two is a nice problem to have.

Looks like a great deal. I'm still picking up my manual .2 GT3 though. If anyone is interested, contact Jeff Van Sicklen at Park Place and tell them Chris D referred you.
None of the .1 RS's on Cars.com or cargugus.com or other websites come anywhere close to this one as far as near MSRP ask price. I have a feeling there are some among us who are waiting for the .2 GT3 that own a .1 RS close to this cars spec and this may be a pricing tool to try and get one of us to trade in our .1RS at below MSRP showing this as an example of where the pricing is. I was looking at a 458 at boardwalk and they were wanting me to trade in the .1 RS for the 458 and they quoted this car at PPP as a reason to devalue my RS saying they would give $180K for it. Of course I did not fall for it and I am not going to trade in my .1 RS when I get my .2GT3 in March either. Just saying.... There could be other motives behind this aggressive pricing. Who knows. However, it is a great deal for anyone who wants a .1RS. Perhaps a better price than some overspecced PDK .2 GT3's that are close to or above $200K.

And that does not include GT4s.

It will be interesting because really tough to call a market. At first sight; I would say the market is saturated today- but with Spring coming and a "hot" economy; at they right price they can move these quicker than you think

Buy what suits your needs/desires and be Happy

"An RS is an RS"
"A GT3 is a GT3"
"A GT4 is a GT4"

You will not go wrong with any of these choices. Porsche hit the trifecta within a 3 year period. The RS and .2 GT3 are so close Performance-wise -it does not matter. Comes down to taste and intended use. And the .1 GT3 is up there but one can argue does not have the 4.0 but with the 10 year warranty and prices that have slid it is a great choice now
The GT4 is an Enigma- it may not have the high/fast revving engines of the GT3/RS but it offers many other intangibles and certainly offers the greatest value for the $. And make no mistake - it is a "GT" car but often misunderstood.

Base MSRP on an RS was $175,900.
About 10,000 cheaper then the 997 4.0 and not all that much more then an equivalent optioned 991.2 GT3..

Altogether not strange that they are starting to sell around $200-225K..
