Trade in time
Im trading my 2021 911 base Carrera for a 2025 Carrerra 2s and Im trying to decide how much to expect for my trade.
My 21 has, a premium package, a sports crono package and 32,000 miles. No damage, no wrecks, in semi pristine condition with wear and tear you would expect for a daily driver.
I paid $130,000 for the 21 new 4 years ago and the warranty has expired. The new 2s is $180,000 ish.
4 year maintenance just occurred, so new tires were installed, but not brakes.
Any guesses, or experts, or someone with previous experience. Id love to get some input
thanks.

having gone through this 3 months ago with a 2022 with 3,400 miles $117K MSRP ...$95-$105K ....I would think being a year older with higher mileage $87K-$95K...with that mileage and age it may not be eligible for certification. look around cars.com, facebook market place to get a sense for asking prices for sale ....dealers seem to want 7-10% mark up so you should be able to see what dealers are asking and back out their mark up..good luck

This is something for @sk911
Depending on the relationship with the dealer and the cost of the new vehicle.... a trade-in offer around $100K is what I would expect.

Model, model year and mileage are the primary drivers of value.

Those "book" numbers reflect the current environment - where MSRP on new cars are zooming and a minimum 10% tariff on them will soon be collected? Those factors have to raise the value of trades and private sales.

Crazy with the number of options a buyer can put on a car, only for those to add zero value when trading the car back in to the dealer. Especially if the car has a $12K PTS or things like $8K carbon seats or $10K carbon brakes...those don't add value on the wholesale/ Trade-in market.
But looking at it from a different view (Dealer/Wholesaler) ....it stabilizes the wholesale/ Trade-in market values when all you are evaluating is the year of the car, mileage, 1 or 2 options and overall condition. Imagine trying to put a value on every single option a car could have.... nightmare!

Yes....the "add/ deduct" items are usually "Premium Package" or "Sunroof" for 992 models.... that's all!

Well no matter the book, there would be no way I would accept $0 for my options on a trade. Small items like trim upgrades are one thing, but big ticket options like full leather and PSE and the like certainly add value to the car upon resale The dealers and the wholesalers cook these trade-in books in their favor of course. Especially on leases. I see cars (not Porsches) that go out on 3 year leases with lets say a 52% residual. When the car comes back, the CPO selling price is no where near 52% of MSRP, its dramatically higher. OK, the CPO warranty adds atop the residual value, and some dealer profit, but still the resale prices of leased vehicles is far higher than the residual on the lease. Dealers make more profit selling used cars than new ones.

If you want to get money for options you have to sell it yourself.
If you look at the spread between wholesale and retail, dealers are trying to make a 10-15% profit on a used car.
