Buying new or under warranty at the time would have been a LOT more expensive.
997 cars are pretty reliable, (997.2 RS issues aside). Unknown on the 991 cars candidly at this point. But the 9A1 engine in the non GT3 has shown to be robust.
That said, I really like my RS, and while a 991 will surely be faster, my focus is on driver skill right now and will be for quite some time.

You look around in the paddock and you see blood stained rock hard RS elbow rests and guys with band aid on left elbows.
Plus where do you out a tire gauge??
I don't mind straps as much as I mind missing door pockets.
Straps are gimmicky to me but whatever.

+1 on the door pockets. I use them every time I drive my GT3. No fumbling around storage place for wallet, keys & cell phone when touring and/or OEM tire pressure gauge when at the track (driver's side) and road atlas on passenger side (yes, a paper map has saved my a$$ many times when there is no cell signal in the middle off the Alps). Don't really care for the door strap as the red ones start to look dirty after a while. If had an RS I'd change these out to black and put the red back before selling the car.

Yep, had my RS for 18mo and only issues car has had that warranty would have covered is a shock that went out ($800), and an idler pulley ($200). All else has been general maintenance.
