Default Asking to help me make a choice

I own a '15 GTS 4 black with black leather/alcantara. Ar little while ago I ordered Rennsport Reunion GTS and it finally arrived. Now I am in doubt if I should trade my GTS for Reunion car.

What is the source or root of your doubts?

Is it missing certain options that you currently have in your 4?

Not sure I understand the issue... if you ordered a special edition car (likely depriving others of the opportunity) why would you not follow through with the purchase? Was the order simply an option to purchase or did you put down a deposit and sign a purchase agreement?

Maybe it is just me but I can't seem to figure out the 'ordering a car and then backing out at delivery' thing that seems to happen with some frequency. See the ridiculously loaded PTS GTS that Larry posted recently. Clearly I'm missing something if this is considered normal/acceptable behaviour.

No offense but I find this to be a ridiculous problem to have. I want the Rennsport one so I'll take that off your hands. Problem solved!

Do you like ice cream? I love it! I suggest you never go to Baskin-Robbins.

I think we need more information - were you driven by the exclusivity of the Rennsport car but now you're not sure if it's worth the extra money/loss on the GtS - or you just love your car too much?

I am sure there will be no issue for the dealer selling the car, so let's not pretend the dealer's being harmed here...

Just not sure if it doesn't look tacky with all the decals...

GTS with decals and a manual.... meh.

Id pass and look to much anticipated 991R if a manual and limited edition is your fancy.

Thanks to all for the advice. I had another look at it today. I can always take the decals off, but the car is really special. Only 25 of them made. Lost little on a trade, but maybe will make up for it in 10-15 years.

Good choice! Couldnt have gone wrong either way. The gts is a special car and the Renn is icing on the cake.

Just a little info here (I posted something more lengthy on Larry's thread that you mention). The laws vary by state, but in California, for such a special car (Rennsport GTS), the dealer is more than likely just the broker (that is, they never own the car and are acting as middle-man for PCNA). If this is the case, in California, you are not bound to take the car by a deposit (which is refundable and capped at 2.5% of the purchase price) or purchase agreement. In fact, it seems that you are only bound to take the car once you sign for delivery - then it is yours and there is no backing out.

Insofar as people backing out of agreements to buy, I dunno' buyers remorse I suppose. It could be though that the majority of people do follow through on their orders - it is just that we only hear about those that do not.

How much more different is it over a regular GTS?
