That's why I don't have a 997RS.. Paying more for no warranty than for a new with warranty makes no sense.
I buy to beat on, not to see them appreciate.
For no warranty, better go older, simpler beaters that are cheaper to fix.
If they do appreciate, great, I get to not lose a lot money and buy the next beater.
Don't buy cars to not drive them, and that's why Tom, you need to ship that 964Turbo to me.

This is me. I bought my RS in November 2013 for under $100k with the intention of tracking it. Given the price increase over my ownership period, I've decided I'm not comfortable taking it to the track as eating six figures would be a very big deal for me. That said, I drive it all the time (bought it with 14k on the clock, now approaching 21k) but continue to use my 993 for track duty. Now that 993 prices are starting to get out of control, I feel like I need a third track car to keep my other two track cars safe 
We ended up in the same situation! I went ahead and bought 85golds track 6.3.

So my car is "worth" 30-40k more than I paid for it... maybe it keeps going up, who knows, but for now, thats the story. That doesn't include the crap-ton of $ I've put into it making it safe and more fun for the track.
What do I do, stop driving it and go buy another car for the track that'll cost me another 50-100k (or 150k in case of new GT3... just for a warranty... ) and let this one sit? $50k buys a lot of warranty parts, track tires, track time, coaching, brake pads, and gas.
Not my style. That 100-200k will sit in equities and property while I enjoy my (what should be depreciating) asset.
Even at 90k the .1 non-rs is a great driver deal. Buy one and enjoy the crap out of it on the track and street.
Maybe I'm more aligned to the guys who race their 250 GTO, Lister Jags, and 60s/70s porsche race cars

I am beginning to think like this. Had deal on nice .2 RS but fell thru at last minute or it would be in my garage right now. Didn't like my offer on .2 3 thus dealer still owns. Fly to NC friday to pick up my warranted 15 991 3. Can't wait but still have my doubts about paddles.
