Thanks for the comments everybody! keep them coming!
This is gonna be a very hard decision. I don't mind the change but my wife still likes the GT3 better (in terms of looks). Guess she doesn't really care to drive the cab. I would love to have both cars but mortgage payments won't allow me for now. I know I will enjoy either car
If I do decide to get the TT cab, i will first check what the trade in value vs selling it myself will be.

Sounds like some guys are lining up for your GT3. If you both like the TT cab would she ever let you drive it? Perhaps a reasonable question becomes what is the second car. Are you going to be happy driving the (gasp!!) maroon mini van in public. Does your wife have driving experience? Not sure if most gals understand what a TT really is? Is she a true Porsche-phile? Of course, the worse possibility is that your wife may track faster than you do. That's a hard one to live down. She may a have a natural advantage in that we weigh 180-220lbs. whereas she weights 115 lbs. In Sprints and Midgets we would never catch her. You are putting a lot on the line if she decides she really likes the TT. Maybe no Porsche should be available in Tiptronic to insure against such nightmares.?

That's the reason I love cabs because it's perfect for southern cali weather...no doubt about it.
My wife is not all into porsche cars but as long as the car's fast...she likes...however, the cab will be my toy
the MRSP was around 110K...only option it doesnt have are the PCCB and navigation..i didn't really care about the options, i just wanted a white GT3 period. There weren't many available back then
I will contact the people who are interested at a later date...thanks

Don't want to be rude but why did you get the GT3 in the first place? because of the look and the rarity? Seems like you don't appreciate it for what it is if you even think of trading it for a TT cab.
The GT3 is a driver oriented car, a race car for the street... The TT cab is a ...Hum... a poseur car (never understood a sport car with no roof).
Well, if you are looking for big hp numbers and people seeing your wealth, the TT is for you...

BTW, the Carr GT got no roof so it is not a sportscar..............there should be a required IQ test before some posters are allowed to post.

Close your zipper............the GT3 ain't no race car for the street , period. I suggest you step away from your busy keyboard and actually find out the difference between a street and a race car, sorry, x box does not qualify and let the thread starter decide what is best for him, afterall it is his money.

However, of course if one loves the GT3's looks and gets a huge kick out of the rarity, I suppose these things could outweigh the benefits of a car like the TT cab, and one has a right to keep and enjoy his/her 3 for those reasons. Just to me the TT cab will be fairly uncommon (he has a 3 not an RS), good looking (could add GT3 front), and do the top down thing with a turbo rush which is a lot of fun on the streets and safer than canyon carving in a GT3 (the fun of a 3 on the street as I imagine, although you must be careful).

If I were you I would sell it on my own than trade-in.
A White one with similar options in Florida went a little over $110,600 (reserve not met) on eBay last week. I think he relisted now...

Trading your GT3 for a cab TT is akin to trading in your football pads for a field hockey stick.
Of course I am kidding and joking but as the guy in the bud lite commercial says and I cant think of
a better situation:
DUDE!!?

You're right, the TT Cab ain't exactly chop liver. If he's happy making the swap and TT Cab works for him and the wife, that's all that counts. The cars are very different and each does what its supposed to do very well.
And as you know well, the salesman and the dealership are happy too. How'd they do on the trade-in (if he trades) and rolling a new unit off the curb?
It's a real win-win!

Uh, Pole, did someone eat all the good cereal this morning? While the GT3 is not a race car, it is one of the most rewarding street cars to drive on a track.
As to the Cab not being a sports car by virtue of no roof, you are kidding, right? I can think of a lot of Porsche Sports Cars which had "no roof" so to speak. The RS60 (one of the nicest and the one I covet) and the RS Spyder for a more current example.
