I am trying to do exactly #3, have a buyer teed up and chomping at the bit for my M3, and everyone selling used 991s seem to want 90% of sticker for a 2012 with 10,000 miles. As if.....

Here I am, cash in hand, ready to buy! Just need a basic 991 with manual transmission, not red or yellow, for a discount off of new car price that makes it worthwhile.

^^^That's the logical solution. Unfortunately for me, and many others, the emotional aspect comes into play, too. I started out being very logical and reasonably money-wise. I searched for an acceptable used car for months and none of them ticked enough of the right boxes to fulfill what I considered to be my dream car. My money-wise logic morphed into the realization/fear that I would eventually not be happy with a car that falls short regarding my dream configuration. So I bit the bullet and embraced the irrational action of purchasing the car new. I'm financially poorer for it. But emotionally I am on top of the world! No regrets.
