Haha! Of course. Now that I saw your 911, I will personally force you to stay with it for the rest of your life, don't know how, but right now my choices are probably through magic. No way in hell will you sell that beauty.
!ALERT! I am going to nerd out because I am a Porsche Enthusiast too.
First of all, I would love to acknowledge that that 911 of yours is a beautiful Carrera GTS equipped with the Aerokit Cup package. That alone makes me immediately think. DON'T SELL IT, because it will appreciate like a madman. Really wise choice and such a gorgeous specification.
Second, assuming that it is RWD and a stick, that will bring out every single Porsche purist out of their little holes. The second you are really thinking of selling it, they're right at your door ready to swipe it away from you. To which I say again. DON'T SELL IT. See where I am going with this? Haha! Having that pure connection and the vibrations coming back and forth, that is something that you cannot replace. It is the most cleanest and purest experience you will ever have in your life. Even with the PDK (it will appreciate a little, but not even close to the levels of a manual), it is simply, perfection. One issue I have is that, Porsche is so sterile, and run their company clinically. They have no dirt under their nails or elbow grease. They don't really do skunk-works projects. They're so perfect that sometimes you think, just a little too perfect? Nope, my next point will say why.
Third, among other things, there is a huge elephant in the room. And that is that MONSTER of an engine. The atmospheric 3.8L flat-six in that iteration is so damn good it will fill your heart with so much love. It is like a companion that just keeps you entertained, and that jewel of an engine does just that. Skimming through the beautiful world we have, or ravaging that on the racetrack, it will bring you so much joy and a plethora of feelings that no other car company at that level can offer. Of course there are many exceptions and facets that I haven't covered, but we will leave that for another day. Anyways, and we now know what they did to their engines. I am sure you know of this, but they now added turbos not really for performance but "fuel economy". The performance was just a bonus. Europe is literally fighting a war with car manufacturers over there that North America and other areas of the world are not a part of fighting. I watched a video in regards to the new 911 Carrera and they claimed that according to the EPA, if one drives like an oldie, it will save 560$ over the next 100,000 miles. That is a ridiculous excuse to go to turbocharging, for all that mattered they could have introduced a light-weight mild-hybrid system. But now they're with turbos. Anyways, you're a winner. You have a legendary car with a legendary package overall.
Lastly, assuming from what you said, and looking at pictures, the car is a pretty high-class specification, also looking at the Carrera S rims with the popular matte black option (it could do with or without the carbon ceramic brakes though, so it could go either way) and you got a car that WILL skyrocket in value. That's a fact. You will be one of those enthusiasts that gets to enjoy one of the most amazing cars on the road, and for that matter, will give you smiles for as long as you drive it.
Porsche is that one company, that one exception, that leaves you with no words, speechless in a way that leaves your jaw gaping to the floor, the true excellence that goes in a Porsche is something that will always leave you remaining in awe. They manage to make everything just work, and leaves you thinking if there are actually mad scientists that are running Porsche.
