Mate, sorry to hear of your dad's passing,
I am in the wrong part of the world to advise you re your local market but if it was down here and I wanted to quit it quickly I would go to the biggest P dealer I could find. The people that go to the dealer go to look for a P car. Also the sales guys know people who are looking for a deal and will call them up.

Keep your spirits up. I love yellow. Buyers are out there for the color.

This is a 2012 from your for sale ad.

I think you are pricing it as if it is a 2013. The 14s are now available.

Sorry to hear about your loss. Love this car, your father had great taste.

In my experience, craigslist will just waste your time unless you're selling a honda or toyota.
Want to sell quick? Dealer, Carmax - I'd do this just to get an estimate on what the wholesale offers are
Want to maximize $ and have patience: AutoTrader (pay for the top level ad with the car fax), here, 6speed, ebay, consignment

Since you aren't near the car, take a TON of pictures, pay for a PPI and post the results for anyone who is interested, pay for car fax and auto check, lastly verify funding as a first step (i.e. cash or have already got bank approvals). This latter one wasted a bunch of my time when I sold my 997, ton of interest, 3 guys couldn't get the $ together, one came with cash and deal done in a day.

Just have some patience, try to have someone local who can show the car (neighbor you trust?)

At the end of the day you need to weigh your time and frustration with the pricing you'll get.

Near new Porsches are tricky to sell because most buyers with that much money will go for a new car.

Make sure it's the best car at the best price, not just one of many, and consider selling it back to the dealer or trading it in.
