Reminds me of when I toured the Zuffenhausen plant back in May 16. 8 out of 10 cars coming down the line that particular day were GT3 RSs ...primarily in Ultraviolet Purple...I am amazed at how many were GT3s as I always thought they were "limited" run models.

I should also mention that this was for a built car sitting at the port that Porsche gave to the dealer (dealer received no 992 allocations this month/quarter). So I will wait less than a week to receive it. Config was close to what I wanted, not perfect, but immediacy has value.

Not so sure about that. While the demand for a GT product will always be well higher then GT production, it is still a niche market in the grand scheme. I would think far more potential "everyday" customers out there for a C2 or C2S on the budget side alone (not to mention characteristics) vs. a GT3.

KBB trade in values are always extremely high and generally unrealistic as just about anyone who is in that business will tell you. Your trade was healthy to say the least if you got near a KBB fantasy #. The only values that are worth paying attention to are the Manheim Black Book #s which are what is actually being paid and not some algorythm generated BS. Auction wholesale is in and around what trade in value will be in reality if not inflated by the rear ending guys are getting now with ADMs.

Taxpayers are not bailing out SVB. Funds are coming from the slush fund setup post 2008 that was funded by bank fees. Yes one could argue that everyone with a bank account is paying for it but it is not taxpayer bailout.
