That is a phenomenal difference in car price…..and I didn't even go crazy on my C2S either. The Porsches are not in the same world. Anybody trying to align the price brackets are fooling themselves. Most Porsche builds I have seen online and in dealerships are in the $140k-165k range; a "stripper" would be somewhere in the 125k range…..which is still $40k above a well optioned M3/M4.
That would be a very US thing. M3/4s in markets I specified have zero to little difference when compared with 718 GTS 4.0 (718 GTS 4.0 being cheaper by about $10K) and about $20K-30K difference when comparing similarly optioned 992 C2S.
A bit off topic but value retention is much higher for Pcars as well.
Even at 20-30k for a Carrera S in the market you specified, that's still a big jump.
