No shock here that the GT2RS wasn't a car that would be an investment, just like the GT3RS isn't an investment. They are both toys to have fun driving and enjoying instead of collecting dust in a garage.
Would you keep a ‘18 Manual PTS GT3 and a ‘19 GT3 RS or trade them both for a GT2 RS at MSRP?
Thoughts?
No - although the GT2 RS is a special car, the reality is the 991 II GT3 RS is special in the NA world and the 18 manual GT3 is a lovely useable GT car.
I would reverse the question - why do you want to trade both in on a GT2 RS - is it a question of a different itch to scratch or timing or both?
I'm quite interested in the answer to this question - I think Porsche basically gave enthusiasts two great choices in the 2RS and the II GT3 RS.
Currently, there is a GT2 RS sitting unsold at my local dealers - what does unsold really mean, it means there are three buyers circling (again a customer ordered car that "fell through"). Doesn't look like they are cutting any special deals.
In my market there are only 4 2RS on the used market all of which are priced above MSRP (all appear to have been driven e.g. 5,000km).
My read on the current RS market (not that I dwell on this) is the GT2 RS knocked it out of the park and the changes to the II GT3 RS resulted in another GT car knocked out of the park (I felt the .1 RS was incomplete, a work in progress the finished product being the .2 RS) and then a big wait for the next versions.
One comment I would make is - some of the WP versions of the 2RS and II 3RS I have seen are stunning and if you appreciate aesthetics and engineering these variant may do well longer term relative vanilla GT3s for example (I don't think any of these cars are investments and I don't personally treat them that way).

Agree with this post and the others after my last. One thought on WP value is that on trade dealers don’t care how stunning you think the car is. It’s got a preset value based on spec, mileage and condition. As to the 3RS some like WP some don’t. Split is 60% WP cars to 40% non WP.
I dont know what you guys are talking about. GT2RS market is still going very, very strong. This was no PTS and nonMag wheel too
Think pending location/dealer. Before I got the MAC a dealership in the NE offered me MSRP on 2 he had on the floor. Now I do know them, but MSRP was the deal. I prefer the 3 over the 2 ........honestly for 350k I’d rather have something more exotic. Still love the 2 just not for 350k.

I am one of those that prefers the look of non WP 3RS with painted wing and WP 2RS due to overall look.

Not indicative of majority of current asking prices. Most are closing in on MSRP. I got offered a killer spec 2RS with WP and mag wheels for $10k over sticker, about $360k.
Will do, I'll post in a thread I have on here with the build pic. Going to fly up to SF to see the car on Mon or Tues - just waiting for confirmation Really excited
