One would have to think that the "last manual transmission" thing may work against it if and when Porsche really announce the availability of the .2 RS with a M/T.
The next GT3, not RS, may have an option to order with manual.

If they offer it on the standard GT3 there would be a strong probability that the RS would have the same choice especially since the RS is the more focused car. But I'm not Porsche GmbH...

u should have pinged me. i sold a yellow and a pts orange 7.1 at way way way below 110k

sorry, but if you insist, how many do you want, i'll get them for you at 110 all day long.

I don't think the RS cars will ever fall into the gutter but they may hold at the current levels for a while before creeping back down a bit. Dow was at 16K last month and everyone panicked, now its back up just under 18K. The market and the car market makes no rational sense...
you have a point, HOWEVER, one can argue it's the last MT/mezger. but the main thing is they do indeed drive differnlty than 991GT3. i have both and love both. but they aren't the same. 7 may have a dip coming up but long run, i see them to be fairly stable.

Mooty - you are being selective with options . There are a ton of cars for sale in the shadows but generally at the wrong price.
Fact is there are a lot of mothballed rs out there. Last winter prices spiked for low mile (collector) cars that are very special. Like pts etc. not the standard grey/black or white cars.
Meanwhile the marginal buyers bought some (often at a premium) and used leverage. Now they want their price or they won't sell.
Will rs come down some big %? No.
But there is a difference between a pts 3k mile Zanzibar, a 10k mile grey/black and a 30k mile white/red. You feel me? (Coincidentally I don't think there is much of a bid for the latter)
yes and no, ignore my strange option needs for now. lets look at the general mkt. the cars with lower prices now aren't the same cars that was on the mkt. byer used to have very high prices with cars that are 2000 miles, 3000 miles. those are still holding up in the 200k range. and the DO trade at those numbers. i am not talking PTS. a PTS 7.2RS is over 200k. a 7500 miles car is not the same as a 2000 mile car and you will see 20-30k spread. the higher mile cars has dropped in value slightly of late, yes. the really nice cars are holding if not escalating.
