This way you are making an educated decision. Went thru the same before I sold my 997.2 GT3.

Having both 991 GT3 and a 991 RS is overkill. They are very similar to drive. I personally would sell/trade the GT3 and spend the money on something else.

I'm stuck with same situation. RS is coming in, but I am really struggling to let go of my Arena Red GT3.

I waited until my Rs was sitting in my garage next to my Gt3 and quickly put it on ebay and sold it! side by side the gt3 looks like a wannabe.....mine had a 143k msrp and it sold for 145k , I agree if this beloved dealer sold you the Rs for msrp then you should let them have it for -10k ....

I'm seriously considering keeping both, at least for a year. I continue to enjoy my GT3 despite the similarities. The 3 is definitely not collecting dust at home!

That's the other possibility, use the money for another car.

Yes my dealer is MSRP, so I was thinking along the same lines.

+1 They are different but similar enough to justify trading the GT3.

Trade, especially if your state has the tax credit.

6 speed gt3 and pdk RS is another matter entirely.

If you track a lot and can afford keeping both, maybe it would be wise to keep GT3 as a spare car.

Tough to say. There is certainly some validity to trading the GT3 back in to your dealership that hooked you up with an RS at MSRP. They scratch your back, and you scratch theirs. In the end, an awesome predicament to be in either way

Here's some advice Hurley Haywood gave to me: if you can afford it, never sell a Porsche. You never know which ones are going to become highly desirable.

That's a great point, I'm just hoping that I will want to still drive the GT3 when the RS is here.

Trade in GT3. RS much more fun to drive. Cars too much the same. Get another type of car Ferrari, McLaren Lambo.

You will not want to drive the GT3. Had the 3 have RS. The only thing I like better in the 3 was the sofa seats. Race seat not as good for DD.
