CAPITALISM, PROFIT, FLIPPERS, SPECULATORS. How can you not love these cars?

i recently sold my 991.2 manual GT3 and am in the market for a 991.2 3RS. To me, the GT3 was pretty much the perfect street car + canyon and handful of track days, but I received an offer i couldn't refuse on it. Can I ask why you went to a GT4/spyder option over the GT3? The thought had crossed my mind as well, and it's purely because it's easier to stomach driving and pounding on a more "affordable" car. ATM i'm going full psycho looking for a 3RS.

The RS is definitely more psycho. I personally took a detour to enjoy mid-engine life. Try all the flavors. The gt4 has far more than enough performance for anything off track. It's less aggro and better / differently balanced than the gt3. IMO, the limit on the gt4 is higher but when you get there the failure less progressive.

almost every Porsche is a “parts bin” car, but you already know that.

Considering it's one of the best drivers cars ever produced by Porsche, I'd say, 'keep mining the parts bin!'

Like any GT car, a lot of people buy them thinking that they'll be just like the regular versions, just a little sportier. Then they get it and realize that the compromises are bigger than they expected, and that it really wasn't the right car for them. And the current market frothiness is causing people who kinda realize this to try to cash in a little earlier than they otherwise would.

Anyone buying the GT4 as a daily driver is either making a mistake or a bit of a masochist. It's a fabulous car, but a bit of an impractical, brutal DD.

Sorry man, but this statement is just false. I own one car at a time only and I love driving this car for any reason, DD, canyon cruising, tracking, I get a huge smile every time I start it up, drive it anywhere and back. Drove car with newly installed swift springs 300 miles one way to Laguna Seca, car was beyond awesome to drive. And I have LWBS.

Same goes for the Spyder - I see no reason why one could not drive it every day, even with a manual!

Archimedes

But you’re a baller. I knew one would be along to say exactly what you said. But you’re not representative of the average buyer. The GT4 is a small, stiff, loud car that is less than easy peasy to get in and out of. It’s an impractical daily driver for anyone but a baller. I’m DDing mine temporarily while I wait for a new Taycan to replace my M5, but it’s the wrong tool for the job.

I love my GT4 anytime I get into it. That doesn’t mean it’s the right car for every drive/use.

Archimedes

Anyone could, but most would choose not to.

Pre-trades or trades on 992 GT3, likely peak trade values as well for the remainder of the year. If you don't really want the car, it's a good time to sell.

I agree just picked up a manual GT4 and I am thrilled at how great a street car it is

Hard to justify the current market on 718 Spyder, but am keeping an eye on one for my next purchase.

Used still seems crazy. There is a gt4 where I am, 2020, less options than mine, and 16g above what I paid. The cheapest used one I see in the country is about 12g above what I paid.
