Advertise it here. How many miles? What is your MSRP? Lots of buyers on here and you'll get more of your premium on the PPF here to someone who sees value and it saves them the expense.

Cosmetic mods such as what you are doing (e.g. the CF parts and PPF / ceramic) won't generally decrease the value of your car but you would not get much if any money back from the 30k you spent. In that sense, if you count the 30k into the cost of your car, then you will get a lower %age of the value back when selling than you would with a stock unmodified car.
Selling your car privately will net you a better value, and in CA you don't have any tax advantages anyway since there isn't a tax credit for trading a car in. That said, you'll just have to spend more time dealing with potential buyers instead of just dropping off the keys at the dealer and be done with it.

It's a heck of a build.
It looks like you went with Sport Exhaust after all? I don't like the look as much as the quads, but I do prefer the sound. From the driver's seat, you don't see it, you hear it
It's a nice improvement over the 991 (though aftermarket will certainly be better).
I noticed you chose to remove "Rear Lid Grille Vertical Slat Inlays in High Gloss Black" - the default is silvery plastic so...
My only question is: How long do you expect you'll keep this car? If you think you might keep it only as long as your 991, all the personalized cosmetic options you've selected will have very little value when you sell/trade. No judgement - I did the same thing and traded my 2019 TTS for a 992 TTS - just pointing it out.

I'm in a similar boat as the OP, only my chalk TTS has 1600 miles. Hey, WFH last year just wasn't as much need for driving.
Just a note to OP, take a look at Autotrader on what our cars are going for with this mileage- mid - $190K selling price. If I had to guess on trade-in, based on my previous experience, knock anywhere from $10-20K off that and negotiate your way to freedom.
It is a seller's market and I was talking to a couple dealers last week. Inventory is LOW and the 992 TTS cars are upwards of $230K or more. Some people will say "I can get this 991.2 CPO car with 2000 miles for $195K" - big savings and still big performance. Just a thought. And dealers also know this so DON'T GET RIPPED OFF.

I just unloaded a Cayman S using Tred.com, which is part of Cars.com I guess. Got full asking price and sold in 5 days. They verify the funds and the whole thing cost me $450? Coolest part is you can chat through the website and sniff out the scammers who are looking for your phone#/info. You will definitely get more selling to an individual if you don’t mind a little work. Nice build and good luck.
