I just noticed the tachometer has a redline of 7600 RPM instead of 9k. Looks like part of the tach came from a 981 GT4, but it says GT3 RS in the center. The car may or may not have more trouble getting registered in more strict states such as California or New York in regards to smog testing.
GT4 only MT, must be custom with PDK and model designation.
240K in this market is a good deal, but I'd pass on this one if I were in the market for RS.
That's a good price. Reminds of the price point around the October 2020 time frame when I picked up mine. Tachometer not being GT3RS spec raises a red flag though.
I remember this car when it was at Porsche West Broward 4 years ago. I think they were asking $290k at the time. This video was also made with the car when it was there.
PTS Dolphin Grey Touring with 4500 miles on Pcarmarket. PCCB, buckets, FAL, full leather, and GMG exhaust (original exhaust included). $184k original MSRP. Car sold on Pcarmarket 10 months ago with 2100 miles for $183k including fees.
That's not understated nor timeless. The color reminds me of a Hill-Rom hospital bed, vague medical-grade, yellowed-with-age plastic color with silver wheels? And then you throw in pepita seats that don't match any color anywhere on the car? This is a perfect example of someone trying too hard to inject gentleman civility into a car to tamper it's sporting nature. It's a car for a guy who puts essential oils into his beard. Gross.
Boring as plain oatmeal. I can’t help but think a lot of these touring guys would be a lot better served with a GTS instead. My RS is much more of an event to drive, and my GTS a much better street car than my old (and not missed) touring.
Really interesting I stumbled across this, as I feel the exact same way.
I am having a hard time finding a 996gt3 and started considering other cars. I don’t love the new 991 and newer body so much as it’s a bit too nice and flashy for my style. In any event, I figured maybe I just bite the bullet and go for a gt3 touring since it’s a bit more understated and in silver, even more so. I found one locally, and test drove it, and it was too soft. I then had the chance to drive a 19’ GTS and thought it was a much better street car, especially being half the price. I preferred the pdk for a street/touring car..etc.
The touring is a great car, don’t get me wrong, it’s just not worth the added premium in my opinion.

Not that anyone cares, but I agree. Looks all out of sorts. If I were going for a touring, it would truly be understated. In any event, people have their own personal preferences, and I’m sure tons of people think it’s awesome.

I like the mix of cars in this post. As a disappointed 2017 GT3 no-allocation person and to rub salt, the same for GTS, I ended up with a very slightly used GTS... my first turbo car.
Three years later I got my GT3, it's all about the engine to me and turbo doesn't do it. So probably the T folks feel the same?
Yes and no. My T was a better daily and know I won't drive my GT3 as much as I did the T. Both are great cars but when I'm behind the wheel of my GT3 it does feel special in comparison to the T.

We're below MSRP team! 11k mile 2019 3RS WP just sold for $222,500. All the ones, even with lower mileage (2k-4k) are starting to normalize just under MSRP.
