Considering 2016 GT3 RS

Sofas
Not to get into the seat argument as I'm a 18-way owner myself; however, I wouldn't touch any RS with Sofas... That's such a dorky configuration.
Granted, not common... but you see them from time to time, sitting and priced attractively.

I just purchased a very well equipped RS with sofas. I find the fit of the buckets to be uncomfortable and I don’t plan to track the RS much. I bought my car with less than 4K miles for a VERY substantial discount to the car you referenced on cargurus.
I was specifically looking for the sofas. If you’re ok with them, then there are bargains to be had.

Very good price on this one. White, delivery miles, PCCB, FAL, and LED’s. $206k MSRP. Might be a scam though since the price is about $20k under market value. They are asking $164k.

i think they have essentially reached their bottom $ on low mileage cars...i finally pulled the trigger a couple months ago...16 UV big sticker...my guess is these cars will hold value and then rise after the 992 rs hits the US shores
in my research most opinions on must have options include extended fuel tank (i haven't seen one without it), FAL, PCCB, and LWB...after that is the headlight option
while i've barely driven it since its winter here, the times i have is amazing, like a video game...motor and tranny remind me of my 430 that i had for a year...fortunately the UV will make it to the track so i cant wait for that
keep hunting for the car you want, and keep reading the opinions here...this forum and most of its members are a wealth of knowledge

Have you driven a 16 RS or a 18RS?
They're not good cars to DD. There good on the track and good at a CC event.
If your in your 40s or less I suppose you might like it but older guys will just use it a small amount if not tracked.
Options to get are the EXT Tank, PCCB, Lift, PDLS lights @ LWB I know u don't want the buckets but makes it easier to sell.
There is less then 10% advantage between Gen 1 vs Gen 2. Gen 2 doesn't ride as nice on the street as Gen 1.
Both RS models are very noisy with abundance of clutch slip.
Make sure this is what you really want a 996 Turbo or 997 Turbo is also a much smaller vehicle as well.

I think UV looks pretty good.

I think I'd go with a .2 GT3. I've driven the .1 and .2 RS. Love the .2 RS it is amazing. I currently own a .2 GT3. I would rank them in this order:
1. The .2 RS, 2. The .2 GT3, 3. The .1RS
In the end pick the flavor and color you like best.

I am surprised to this day, no one has had a credible head2head comparison of 991.1 3RS vs. 991.2 3RS on the Ring, same day, same driver and on same type of tires. I doubt the true difference will be much more than 10s on a ~ 21 km track. I don't buy Porsche's marketing numbers. Recall Preuninger hinted 500 hp quoted for .1 3RS at its release was "very conservative". Even if the delta is a true 20 hp, that's only 4% at the peak.

I owned a .1 and .2 RS. Not a lot of difference. The .2 would still be in warranty though.

If the car is not for track use (as OP stated), what's in .2 that .1 RS does not have? You won't notice any aero improvement on streets. Stiffer suspension on .2RS is noticeable, but not a plus on backroads.
