You tell us? Your slate grey car was up for £35k IIRC in August. I'd be very surprised if RPM gave you much more than a service off the price.

As a silly example, car sales in the UK are quite seasonal. I understand it rains perhaps once a year in California…
Whilst values may be similar, there are lots of other factors that will naturally be different from country to country/ market to market.

Are you suggesting "private" sellers can expect the same money as dealers? I was going on the assumption that at best a private seller would get 10-15% less than dealer sticker prices as OP was interested in what he can get for it & not what a dealer can sell it for.

That's the problem when you buy a car on the same day its listed.

I considered LHD too so had a brief look at the German market but prices seemed higher than UK - was that also your experience? I suspect post 92 prices to be higher than our run of the mill 90 too.

Sorry you are right I didn't word it correctly - I meant has anyone purchased from a private seller or has a private seller sold ...... emphasis being on "private transaction".

I prefer LHD in aircooled Porsches .
I have a LHD 1973 2.4S that I've owned for a long time and over the years I've also had a 67 lhd 2.0, a RHD 993 , a Rhd 996 turbo and driven loads of other LHD / RHD Porsches
LHD for me is just a more natural and more comfortable driving position with non of the offset pedal problems the rhd has..... Bareing in mind the 911 was designed as LHD from the outset. My 993 gave me terrible knee pain in my throttle leg after only a short period .
The 996 turbo of course had non of the rhd problems of offset pedals that it's predecessors had.
My experience on buying privately in Germany was great ... But that was probo due to the seller being a good guy who had owned his 964 for over 15 years

In Canada it is cold and wet. Still, 964 market is priced very high in the last year.
Right now with snow on the ground the market indeed will be slow going here in canada as transport and storage is the issue. but come spring it is back to normal in terms of high prices. Espeically with the strong U.S dollar.
