So I jumped you two trims and kept most of your build PNABWII3

Then ...
I leaned it down and made sacrifices and changed it . Its 12K more to jump TWO trims and have a car that much of the items you are paying for standard PLUS more things a base car can only dream of ,

I think the GTS would be way too much car for where I live; we have automated traffic cameras every half mile running across the entire island and I can only see myself racking up violations lol. Let me know what you think of this new build, was able to get it down to just under 120.

Don't get me wrong - resale value is a consideration, particularly since this will not be your last car and I suspect the used car market for base Carreras are budget minded. But if there is an option that you really love (ie sport design, or whatever).... just get it. A few thousand lost is not a big deal in the long run.

I do like to hear mine and don't regret having checked the PSE box. Aftermarket exhaust systems cost far more than they're worth IMHO. Not that the Porsche PSE option is all that reasonable, but it is substantially less than what's in the aftermarket.
