Default What to do with my GT3, RS finally inbound

So after many months of delays due to changes etc. MY RS is scheduled to be here shortly. My dealer asked if I wanted to trade my GT3. I originally thought I was going to keep it as it makes a great DD(my opinion). My wife thinks I should keep it and actually calls me "stupid" when I sell cars I like.

I will now have plenty of room as my garage addition is well under way.

Car has a little less than 5000 miles and is pristine. The MSRP was $150K, has full clear bra etc, what would be a fair trade in value? My dealer is great, so I am not out to squeeze pennies, as he is always fair to me.

Thanks!

I'd say 145k from the dealer

I tend to agree with your wife on this one.

She does sound like a keeper.

After driving your RS I doubt you'll be driving the GT3. Trade it for a fair price and let someone else enjoy it. Spread the love!

probably fair trade is 5 k below, if the dealer gave RS at list then 10 k below is fair.I was willing to do that if I had chance

I agree with the others. Sell or trade in your gt3 for MSRP to MSRP - 5k.

if u think the car is a keeper, keep it for life, like your wife (pics of wife?) If u trade u also save the sales tax, if next gen is turbo, u need to keep this car or buy another 991.2 GT3/RS so you have a spare

From experience, keep it. Interesting discussion taking place contrasting of the two cars...

Sell the GT3...no brainer.
If you still have the itch you can get the .2 when it's out.

strip it and turn into a dedicated track beast to rotate wth your ACR.
Otherwise just sell it.

One more suggestion to sell it. Like somebody wrote earlier, once you drive the RS your GT3 will sit. Maybe your wife wants you to keep it so she can drive it.

Wait until you get the RS, make your decision then.
