Default GT3RS for 50 anniverary

I was at the dealership for the service. They have 50 anniversary model with 137k msrp. They offered me even trade for my 10GT3RS with 6.5k miles.
What do you guys think about this offer?
I do not have any intention to trade in my RS yet.

Don't do it!
The RS is the one to keep! Prices will rise to a level a 50th Anniversary 911 can only dream of... (Sooner or later)

I also think that a 991 isn't half as much fun then the 7 RS.

Dealer is getting the better deal on this offer. You drive that car off the lot its a 115k car at best.

u can sell your GT3 at 137k very easily
it would be a poor move on your part.

A 50th anni 991 is nothing compared to a GT3 and never will be.

Nah.. but ask your dealer. Maybe they have a fire-sale on the new GT3.

If you listed your car for sale here for $137k it would be gone in an hour. Can't say the same for the 50th.

Trade for a 991 GT3??? I'm not sure that is a wiser move than the 50th.

Keep your RS. 50 isn't so nifty.

If your GT3 RS is a manual, I'd be inclined to keep it. That said, the 911.50 is the best Porsche available for sale IMO. I've driven most of the Porsches in the last 4 years and with its sublime 7 speed gearbox, it's the best one I've driven. Period. And yeah, I've owned a GT3 (not the 991 with PDK, however). The PDK is great but for the street, *NOTHING* beats a manual transmission with 430 horses running hard. NOTHING.

If you're looking for an investment, put it in real estate.
