Solid move the RS is so much better than the 14 gt3. I frankly found the 14/15 gt3s boring

I’m considering this deal for the following reasons,
1. Get out of a car with a known engine issue.
2. Get into a car with bucket seats so I can put in a row bar and add six point seatbelts.
3. Stop looking for the next level car and fully enjoy what I’ve got.
If I go into the .1 RS, it kind of sounds like I’ll be looking at the .2 RS soon thereafter.

Is the GT3RS a CPO car at a dealer? If so I’d proceed, but I wouldn’t buy an RS that wasn’t CPO personally.

You should have no reservation doing this deal "if approved" as you are getting way more out of the trade in. I hope you get approved. You will definitely approve of the outcome when you get it.

If approved, I’ll be buying a 16’ GT3 RS with 4K miles for $175k tomorrow, trading in my 14’ GT3 with 7k miles for $125k. Please tell me why I shouldn’t do this? I can afford this deal, so what’s wrong with this year/model car? I’m hooked on DE and plan to use it quarterly on the track. This will be my third Porsche in just over a year, so throwing away money is par for the course. I’m sure I can find one for $10k less in a different state, but don’t want the hassle and worry. This car’s been kept by a well known collector in town, so history is verified. Thoughts?
That translates to .... $xxx for a 2018 GT3. YOU KNOW THE ANSWER. Hint: it ain't $140k.

Individual buy/sell numbers in a trade-in deal are irrelevant. The diff is all that matters. Dealer has an obvious incentive to inflate both prices as he can advertise them as market prints in future sales.

That trade value means nothing on its own, only a figure relative to the car he’s buying. Ask that same dealer to write you a check for the ‘14 GT3 and buy it outright without buying another car and I can promise you they’ll say $100-105k max.
