Hey:

I think I may be selling my car, its the one in my Avatar.
2012 991 s, PDK, sports chrono, about 14k miles.
18 way seats, leather interior, other bits and pieces, original MSRP was around 123k, have window stickers etc

Lowered with H&R springs, spacers front and rear, professionally realigned, have stock springs.
CF interior, rebadged rear, clear LED side lights. CF rear diffuser, 'CF' dipped front lip.

Great condition

What is a price range please?

thanks

I would guess at around 77k to 80k. The dealer would offer around 65 or so.

Dealer

Non cpo from a range rover dealer.

You may get 80k on ebay.

I've had my car over 80k several times on Ebay. CPO 131k sticker. The price will vary depending on the time of year. That's easily a 80+k car with the proper visibility and timing. Glws

If dealer only offers 65 I will give you 67.... You can get more if advertised right that's for certain. Glws

I recommend a private sale. I was recently low balled by two local Porsche dealers on my 997.2. I sold it to a private party for more than 20% of what the dealer offered me. You have to be patient though. Buyers will require you to do some work on your end. Things like having the car PPI'ed. Not everybody has that kind of money sitting in their sock drawer. The dealer has a leg up because they offer financing and a CPO.

Thanks everyone, will post it up on rennlist first

I don't understand - the buyer should pay for the PPI. What other things are you thinking of?

I suggest that if you are selling an 80-90-100K car, it should need nothing, tires, maintenance, etc. That may be what jimbo is referring to.

I concur that the dealer does have an edge. I've found this to be true at any price point - most folks cannot buy a car cash.

Actually, I take that back. I've had more buyers of my expensive used Porsches buy them cash than I have of my lower priced Euro cars (BMW, Mercedes, etc.). However, many buyers prefer the illusion of security by buying from a dealer, and it's hard to overcome that, except by pricing the car low enough that people go for it.

For a datapoint; I bought a similar car from the dealer for 80k.

The nice part about the dealer (from a buyer perspective) is you get the original warranty plus the 2-year CPO.

ipse dixit

The nice thing about selling it to a dealer (be it Porsche or otherwise) is you don't have to deal with the hassle of (1) paperwork (2) logistics of fund transfers, and availability (3) and just the general whims of most private buyers - be it being late to see the car, or wanting an extended test drive, or calling you after the sale and pestering you about things supposedly never disclosed, or whatever.

There's a reason dealers offer less, and there's a reason people knowing dealers offer less still sell to dealers.
