Default Talk Me Down Man!

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?

Do it! Doooo it! Lol.

And don't look back.

Who cares about $10k if it's local and you want it. Ha ha.

How's that for talking you out of it?

Then get and out and drive it and catch me if you can!

Seems like a good way to scratch the RS itch.

That is close money to a .2 RS ( I'm selling mine)

I wouldn't buy a .1 at that price

Agree. You probably are overpaying. Spend a little more, get a better performing car, plus a probably longer warranty period.

Yeh but he is making it up on what he is getting for a trade on his 14. The .1 is probably worth $10,000-$15,000 less but so is his 14 so I like the deal.

Okay, let’s try this deal then.

$150k .1RS and they’re giving him $100k on his ‘14

Better?
