Would you rather to keep .2 gt3 Manual or 991.2 rs?
I have a 991.2 gt3 MT now if I want a .2 RS I will have to trade in the gt3. I had .1 gt3 .1 rs now .2 gt3.
I can't decide should I gave up MT gt3 for the new .2 RS or not.

Don't. Unless you are hitting the track and trying to get the best lap time I'd stick with MT. MT is far more engaging to drive vs. Auto.

tough choice... i'd have to give the edge to the RS unless you really love manual.

i just picked up a manual 991.2 GT3 but would probably sell it for the RS

Superman32

I traded my rs for a gt3 and a gt4.
PDK to PDK i will go for rs. But now .2 has manual and porsche made so many .1 rs also .1 gt3 and .2rs are pdks. I am thinking manual .2 gt3 is more exclusive .

Manual will be more exclusive and the .2RS is not a giant leap from the .1, though colours and Weissach package will make it desirable. If you enjoy the manual I would hang onto it.
I will not go for the .2RS personally and just keep my .1RS.
One consideration to think about is that all 992s will be turbo including the GT3s..so there is a runout issue in terms of the last N/A cars.

I wanted a manual GT4 or GT3 but I couldn't justify two high end sports cars and couldn't give up my RS for a GT3, even with a manual. I don't get that hero feeling driving a manual although I can understand it. I will likely trade my .1 for a .2 just because it's a step up even if just a small one. I do sometimes think that maybe I should have gotten a GT3T, driven the heck out of it, and kept it forever. You've had an RS and if you aren't really regretting selling it perhaps the manual GT3 is the best for you. It's hard not to get caught up in the chase for the new hotness. I see a day coming soon when they will make it too much work for me to get a new GT car and I will have to move on.

From a production standpoint they are making more and more cars and more variants of GT cars all the time so that is a slippery slope to climb. As of January there are more .2 GT3's in Canada than .1 RS's and around half of the GT3's are manual so they are not extremely rare. Now add to that another 10 months of production.

Perhaps off topic, but how do you guys flip cars so often without taking an insane bath? Seems to me that the transaction costs and the value hit of Superman's car journey over the past few years would be over $100k just for the flipping around, right? Or are you able to flip the cars around without loss because of the market?

To me this seems like lighting hundreds of thousands of dollars on fire unnecessarily. Am I wrong?

I have a .2 GT3 on order, will stick to that since there is no manual .2 RS. Still like the third pedal input you have to control

All GT cars that I see for sale are well over msrp. If you bought a GT3 for msrp and trade it in on a new one for msrp the only cost is the increased mrsp price difference and you may be able to get a bit over msrp. The dealer will turn around and add $10-20k to re-sell it. I'm not sure where you are getting $100k unless you are assuming you paid that much over to start with.

BioBanker

It was just a random number based on thin air. Being able to trade used cars in for MSRP shows how f'd up this market has become. It seems that once you're on the msrp list for new GT cars you're best to keep the churn going by trading in as frequently as possible (at msrp) for the new cars - maybe loosing nothing in the process and thereby removing any depreciation that you would receive by holding a car beyond the time when you can trade it in for msrp. A fun treadmill to be on!

Loess

I wouldn't say it's as fun or as easy as that. You still have to hope, negotiate, wait, whine, trade something, buy something else, etc. I'm not sure why selling a 1 or 2 year old car for msrp is a bad thing. It's worth what it's worth. It beats losing 40 or 50k, been there and done that. It's only bad if you want to buy a newer GT car for a discount; but in that case you want the first owner to take the hit so you don't have to. There are lots of cars out there that fall into that category.
