Finally got an allocation with latest release, but brings up an interesting dilemma: what to get rid of?

2015 4S: my DD, it's sapphire blue and loaded with all the goodies, has 100k warranty, so lots of miles to go.

2015 GT3: it's PTS Arena Red, stunning car. I picked it up with 700 miles so it's a CPO, still has over 5 years and 97000 miles coverage left.

My friends and family think I'm nuts letting my Arena Red GT3 go, but I have a hard time turning it into a DD and putting tons of miles on it, probably 15-20k/year. I have an SUV for winter, bad weather and kids.

Thoughts?

Sell 4s
Daily GT3
Weekend RS
Winter SUV

After having my RS I could daily drive it if needed. That being said I would think that the GT3 would actually be a more comfortable daily then the RS.

 

Second poofy's suggestion. Easy call.

 

Do you need two similar? RS is ramped up GT3.

Daily driving the GT3 will lose value and it will bug you doing it. Will detract from special occasion feel of RS on weekends. Sell and put $back in bank.

RS will get all the attention anyway.

 

Sell GT3. You won't want it after you have RS. Daily driving it will dilute your experience in the RS since the cars are so similar. It not to not care about your daily driver as much too. C4S gets a scratch and you're mad, how do you think you'd feel after arena red got scratched. It will eventually happen if you drive that much a year.

 

Would sell both the 4S and GT3 and DD the SUV. If it feels too boring upgrade the SUV to some AMG/M/Turbo... Maybe its just me, but I don't see myself driving another 911 if I already own a GT3 RS.

 

As stated, drive the GT3 daily. It's PTS and from the sound of it, it holds a special place in your heart. Last thing you want to do is sell it and regret it. It's not something that can be replaced (PTS).
A C4S should easily be replaceable. I for one prefer not dumping things too quick and let things settle and then decide what to do. You don't want to haste such a big decision.
Hold on to the GT3 for now.

 

Sell the GT3, the RS will be too similar.

I don't have a 4S but I have a TTS and I find it to be a far better DD or weekend car than the GT3, so I imagine the 4S is similar.

 

I would probably sell the GT3, although ideally I believe you need an SUV, luxury sedan and a toy.

 

+1

 

Less is more! Keep SUV and RS.
Sell everything else!

 

Sell 4s

Gt3, even daily driven, will lose less value than 4s. Also, you can have a nice polished daily and a beater track car, or the other way around if you are one of those people.

Or sell both and get something very different from a 991. R8 or new Panamera Turbo are awesome.

 

Better yet sell the GT3 and get the GT4.

 

Easy.

Ship the RS to me, I'll give it a good home and you can have limited visiting rights. I'll even provide trackside support at any southeast facility.

Joking aside, it really depends on your daily needs. Do you need the back seats in the C4S? The monetary difference between a well appointed C4S and a GT3 is pretty minor. If you don't need the rear seats, I'd sell the C4S and enjoy the GT3 as a DD, after all it's a car and meant to be enjoyed!

When the weekend comes, take it to the next level with the RS!

 

Definitely try to sell the GT3 and 4S and get a

993 Turbo-

find one with 30-40k miles and drive it a lot. It will hold value and be quick enough and be cheap enough to fix and have back seat for kid seat and with 80k miles nobody will be scared of it.
