Default Traded my boxster spyder for this new-to-me GT3RS

'10, no options other than dynamic lights and sports chrono. 12k miles but no track time. In service 4/10. This will primarily be my track car.

Exterior is flawless and brake pads still have red paint on them. DME report said never reved over 7400rpm. Dealer changed the engine oil and filter, gearbox oil and differential oil.

I can have them CPO it for $3,500. Is it worth it if I plan to trade it for a 991 GT3RS in the coming years?

KYrocks - Thanks for helping me pick the car

Nice. Love the colors!

Congrats and enjoy.

Do you miss the spyder at all, or does this make you forget all about it?

Incredible car. The Spyder is the well behaved Wife. The GT3 RS is the Stripper...

Congratulations! Car looks fantastic. CPO good incase you keep awhile and can transfer to next buyer if private sale. $3,500 on the other hand is a lot for additional 2 years and 50,000 miles. Bought 996 GT3 added CPO for dealer cost $1,499. 6 years later might be more but that much?
Enjoy!
