09 997TT white or 07 GT3RS orange?

Please provide me with your opinions on which is the better long term buy as a once a week car, assuming price was equal. Both have PCCB. White Turbo has all the latest technology (PCM3, XM, bluetooth). Thanks in advance.

GT3 RS...

Way more special. It will hold its value (both monetarily and emotionally) for much longer than a Turbo. I personally love the GT3 RS the most out of all the Porsches in the last 10 years.

Chris, any downside you could think of for the RS? I am OCD about new cars, but should I just get over it and not mind the fact that it is pre-owned?

My vote is for the GT3RS. Exclusivity and more unique than a TT.

how soon are you looking to buy?

Get a PPI before you buy and it should have plenty of remaining factory warranty on it. With those 2 things in mind you should be able to sleep at night. Buy a non-tracked one.

Within the next few days. How negotiable are pricing these days, do you know? Thanks.

What is PPI?
