No Reserve means to Buyers a finality, that whatever they bid is going to happen. I never use Reserves, because it shows you are not a serious seller and "Testing" the market. But if you just want to play sell - then reserves are the way to go.

You start your auction at your minimum price you would accept for the vehicle. How to you get to that? Well, I go to Car Max and let them give me a number. also to Carvana for a number, and then the dealer for their wholesale number. The highest of those three quotes + $ 500 then becomes my minimum price.

OP - go to givemethevin.com , that'll give you a ballpark idea of how much to ask

In determining what might be a good selling price you might want to consider the dismal stock market trend, rising inflation and record-high gas prices on demand for 6 figure niche sports cars. Also, every day you keep it it has one less day of warranty coverage and the car is soon to be 2 model years old. Lastly, I don’t believe base models are in such high dend/limited supply as S and above. MSRP sounds like a good target which may be out of reach in the future.

I flipped my 2017 on bringatrailer. The whole process was pretty seamless; but they are very backed up. If you start the process now, you *might* get an active listing in a couple months.
Net I should have taken my dealer's offer; BaT didn't bring *that* much higher a price, and it was a lot more hassle, despite it being easy. Dealer is easiest; they take the keys and hand you a check.
With BaT I had to coordinate the photo shoot, meet the photographer in some random location, kill an afternoon while he took every angle you can imagine. Then when the time came to sell, I had to sign the title over and get it notarized as the buyer's state insists on this for some reason; then I had to coordinate meeting the buyer, and so on. Dealer is *so* much easier. They'd have sent someone to pick up the car with a check.

If you no longer want the car and dealer will give you MSRP I'd do it and move on... maybe you can get a few grand more elsewhere but not sure its worth the hassle. You'll get brownie points with your dealer, tell them you are giving it to them with the expectation that if you come for another allocation they will treat you right and get you to the front of the line. I think you've got some timing risk here. Next model year on its way quickly, production catching up to demand a bit.... my dealer is expecting to have multiple open allocations next go round and that hasn't happened in 18 months. Not saying values will tank, but the days of recouping full MSRP or more out of used 911s I believe are short.
