leather weighs more if you care about hard core track

If you really were that concerned about hard core tracking it probably wouldn’t matter what options you got except for the sport buckets which that car didn’t have. Personally I wouldn’t buy one without full leather. It not only changes the dash but also the door panels. I don’t like the look of the standard rubber. And a PTS Touring may not be that important for someone who was interested in that.

If you care about hard core track to the point where you're choosing against leather for the weight, you're not ordering a PTS Touring with sofas.

The spec is weird - it's a stripped out car with PTS which doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I think the lack of PCCBs is a big oversight here, iron brakes on a PTS Touring just looks wrong to me.

Original MSRP is ~$172k. Car sold at ~$41k over sticker which probably benefits from a PTS bump. Of course, there are cars with CPO and that gives a bump to value as well. Not to mention LWBs. IMO, PTS, LWBs, CPO, PCCBs and arguably full PPF are value added features.


Either way, the car is a future classic, so I doubt values will ever really tank on them.

How much more?

Whoever posted that the dealer(s) they talk to about trade in values who indicated $2-3k over MSRP for a Touring with sub-5k miles should probably post the name of their dealer so everyone knows where to not waste time. Even with tax credit in highest tax states, that's robbery.

On the BAT touring sold, I also agree that full leather dash is near the bottom of things I'd care about. I thought the blue car sold yesterday is what most buyers are looking for, though for me, I do think PCCB's are a dealer breaker (everyone's got their thing i guess).

Absolutely. That post with dealer trade-ins was nonsense.

My top must haves are manual, FAL and buckets…followed by a strong preference for PCCBs. Obviously color typically would be high on the list too. I really wanted silver headlights too which is a quirky, personal, one.

That guy isn't posting now because it doesn't fit his narrative. Under MSRP! Any day now !!! Meanwhile, the blue car happens and its crickets.

I have a friend who is about to list his 19k miles White 2018 Touring for $205k. P/M we if anyone is interested.

I know someone looking for a touring if you can message me info, please.

never mind… he’s got a deposit on one.

PCCB, LWB...and no FAL. They even paid extra for black wheels, upgraded pedals, white gauges and passed on FAL.

Might be the only Touring ever with that configuration. Talk about weird.

My only must have is Manual… I prefer buckets, but they can be added after the fact. The rest is kind of moot.

The rubber dash doesn’t bother me, I’ve had Porsches with and without. It’s different for better or worse. I have great memories years ago blasting out of nyc with an Italian Deli sandwhich in hand with not a care in the world (in my rubber dash car). Now my car has leather and I’m much more careful about it.

I like to run 19s so PCCBs we’re a no.

Don’t understand why painted skirts is CXX. It was a standard option available on the touring. Maybe because of PTS?

To finish the story, I did buy this 2019 GT3 RS and it's FANTASTIC! 13k miles, CPO, likely less than 10 track days, full PPF, looks pretty much new, roll bar and Schroth harnesses, MSRP of $225k, paid $240k plus $2,500 for an extra year of CPO. The car is worth every penny.

Also, for years I've been saying that 911 GT cars are made for the track, not really suited to being fun road cars. Well, I was wrong. This RS is fun to drive at all speeds on the road, with all the upsides of feeling like a cup car with not much of the downsides (ride is a bit harsh on bad roads, but same with other Porsches, this RS isn't a lot worse). This RS is a MUCH better car than the 991.1 GT3 I traded in.
