I appreciate your input, but lets just agree to disagree. I don't know where you're getting you're statistics from to say that "MOST buyers wouldn't take a second look" at a yellow GTS. Just because YOU don't like it, doesn't mean your opinion is the general consensus. Same goes with Red. Guards Red is one of the most sought after colors in the Porsche world so i'm sure a TON of people would of wanted your car. Looking at your avatar, i personally think its a beautiful car. So just because YOU skipped over it a few times, doesn't mean you can speak for the rest of us.
Also, regarding my car, yes it has GT3 Bumpers. Not sure why it matters but the bumpers are fully reversible. I can have the stock bumpers back on within an hour or two. So it's a bit different than having something permanent like Yellow paint. Anyway, I'm not worried about the bumpers at all, some people prefer the aggressive bumpers. My last 997 (in my avatar) had GT3 everything on it. It sold FAST. But the mileage wasn't as high. My post above was concern about mileage not mods. Also, ironically, I already have some DM's inquiring about the car just from my post of "thinking" of selling it. So i guess in this market i actually have much more options than to "Just Trade it". But hey, we are both entitled to our own opinions

I was just going along with what you're saying, but now you appear to be contradicting yourself. The Porsche people are generous after all!
Whatever works best for you, I hope you get $1 for every mile. I notice that I end up arguing with you over just about everything so yeah. Let's just agree to disagree.

I would take this CPO GTS for $81k all day long instead. You can drive it worry free for 2 years (CPO) and sell it for what you paid to a little less even when the pricing corrects.

Another data point...
In May 2020, I paid $144K for my 2017 Turbo S with 7K miles and CPO. I have 9k miles now. So last month I stopped by the dealer to buy some accessories and check out what was for sale on the showroom floor (only used cars on the floor). On a whim I asked the dealer to make an offer to buy my car, and they offered $165K immediately. That's a drunk 991 market. I was intrigued by a 2021 992 turbo S on consignment in a paint to sample color - the owner was asking $295K. All the markets are drunk.

This video touches on some of the near term prospects that I tend to agree with -
The prices WILL level off at some point, and may come down some, but I don't think we will ever return to 2019 prices. Especially while dealers have nothing new to sell and have to overpay in the used/wholesale market.

I've been eyeballing 991's on BaT but the premium prices seem crazy to me. I have a '05 Subaru STI with 8k miles on it that I think I could sell for high, but then I'm just buying high to replace it. Either sell it now and wait a year and see if prices come back down out of the stratosphere, if they even do.
