I half-heartedly priced them a couple days ago. The used C8's are listing as much as what you'd pay for a base model with the Z51 option. If you can find a dealer that will sell for list, it's cheaper to buy new.
If you had to upgrade the RS today, what would you get?

My cousin had a GT4 and let me drive it at a family Christmas get together. It ruined me. Driving home my RS felt like a minivan in comparison.
Please don’t tell me that. I love the RS and it’s just about impossible to get a GT4 with out a hefty markup.

I've driven a 970 Panamera Turbo, and I liked it. I'd imagine I'll like the 2nd gen just as much.
Nothing is happing right now anyways. Before either #1 or #2 happen, a house with big garage shall happen. So I probably won't be doing anything until mid 2023 or early 2024.
A house I wanted popped up early this year, 2600sqft, full finished basement, 7 car garage, InGround pool, and recent appliances/carpets for 215k, taxes about 5200 a year. Sadly, my lease was still 8 months from ending on my apt, and I didn't have all of the downpayment I'd wanted. So I had to skip it.
Not sure if I'll find a house that good again. But I'll be looking to take ownership of a house in April of next year, that's when my lease ends. If I can't find a house, I'm probably going to try and find a new place to rent temporarily, one at least with a garage and in-unit washer/dryer.
Where did you find that house? That’s a great deal. I found a nice home in Woodridge with a 4 car garage. Built in 1997, one year older than my home in Darien. They were asking 450k, unfortunately it went under contract after listing which was about 10 days ago.

^^^^ Indeed, where is this house for 215K with a 7 car garage???? I will buy it today although the taxes seem rather high for that price!! Did you mistype the asking price by chance?
Unfortunately those are really cheap property taxes in Illinois. That’s what I pay for a townhouse in suburban Chicago and I am at 8k for a condo in the city of Chicago. Both of my homes are on almost no land. This is part of the reason people are leaving Illinois if they can.

It is not unusual at all to pay $5000 a year on taxes. And if you are looking at homes in more expensive area's, $10,000-$15000 taxes exist.
I am considering in Southern WI, or NW Indiana, but just not at a point yet where I can be seriously looking with 6 months left on the lease.
The garage was basically 3x 2 car wide doors, with about a half car in-between each of them, and it was about 28ft deep. So basically, enough room for 6 cars to park in the garage, and STILL have 8-10ft in FRONT of the car for work stuff.
I probably should have just broken lease and gone, even with not having 20% down payment.

I got that, Im from the NE of the USA NY/NJ/PA area so I know all about high taxes ($10K - $20K, but the property tax is usually proportional to the assessed value of the home and the area. Im in southern Indiana and our property taxes just got jacked up too based on market value which is BS as the only time you see a realized gain on the home is if you sell it which I do not plan on doing anytime soon. So all this increased property tax is just a way for them steal more money out of my paycheck along with the rest of the crooks in DC until the market settles and then they will come up with another excuse to keep it where it is instead of lowering back to pre inflated levels.
I wanted one myself but the dealership couldn’t get me one. How did you get one and what did it cost? The Turbo S was the other one I wanted but they don’t make it easy to get one.I am in that process presently, about to sell my 2017 RS2 since I just ordered a Porsche Cayman GT4, actually due in a few weeks if the ship does sink like one B4

Used to live in CT where auto were taxed at their current market value, couple of cars would be in the neighborhood of $2000 annually. Now I live in GA and the tariff is $20.00 per auto, unless you want a speciality plate, then 55.00. So the RS cost me $20.00 annual to keep in on the road in GA.

I would look at the GT4, the new Z06 (that light grey with naked carbon fiber and the Z07 package), possibly the Turbo S, a couple of the Audi RS models are attractive. But I'm not selling the RS so I will most likely never be upgrading, and I'm generally OK with that.
