When I bought the car from Mooty (2007 GT3 RS), I wanted an RS with 6 years and 100,000 miles warranty, thinking I was going to keep it for a long time. Mooty dropped the car at his favorite dealer (Carlsen Porsche), Carlsen bought it from him after inspection, they got it CPO'ed, and I bought from Carlsen. I paid for the extended warranty (it adds some value on resale) and a small transaction fee (dealer profit) for the operation given the car price.

When I bought the Cayman, I did it again. I had the most amazing deal available (around $30k back in 2009 for a car in pristine conditions). I spoke to Porsche of Pasadena, told them, I have a car, I have a seller, I'm the buyer, I want the car CPO, how much you want, and I wanted the promotional CPO pre-owned finance they had available at that time, everything worked out on my favor.

So,

Option 1:

Get Trakcar 2.1 back to stock, because the moment they take the car, the car is going to an auction, that's reality. Get the seller of your next car (hopefully in Florida) bring the car to Champion, let Champion broker the deal, trade-in value should be in a feasible range, you will take a hit on trade-in anyway, but Zero hassle on the deal. Buy the CPO extended warranty from Champion, and done deal.

Option 2:

Bring the car as is to Champion, and your next car to Champion. Close the same deal as Option 1, except that Champion will get paid for getting Trakcar 2.1 back to stock, and Trakcar 2.2 with the GoFast parts installed.

In either case, Champion is making free money on the brokerage fee, making money on the CPO sale, and optionally making money on labor. "In this economy" only the retard would refuse to make such easy money. If Champion arranges finance with Porsche nice current programs, they get paid too. If they decide to sell the 3.8RS on their showroom, they make even more.

Option 3: Wait until the right buyer shows up and pays cheap money for the value anyone could get from your car. You could be waiting longer than Erik.
Now that's logical. Mike

I have an idea Peter buys beer and has work party to put car back to stock
As long as Peter is only allowed to purchase beer. You don't want him with any kind of wrench in his hand

I did not make it to Champion, but I did pick up the car from Orbit.

It is now the most perfected Posrche I have owned or driven..

Full service, all oils new, full brake flush, new full allignemt setup, new exhaust, new uprights, new brake ducts.

It would be cool if I could give this all in one go to a buyer.
Seriously confused as to why I need the fasterder RS but I cant come up with a good reason, except for that it exists and I will get one anyway, so might as well do it while were young...
