Hi, are your wheels RSGT's? What size? Thank you. Ebay is also a good place to sell if you can take wholesale prices. It's quick and easy. Auto Trader is probably the best overall marketplace.

I had good luck with Autotrader (bought and sold). Price it right with good pictures and it should move.
Watch out for scams on Autotrader however.
Good luck.

I got mine from an ad on Craigslist. I believe the previous owner may have posted here and at sixspeedonline, but I saw it first at Craigslist. I'm not sure, but I think you have to be a member here to post ads.

One of the most important steps in selling any car is to realistically price the car. I see many Porsche ads where the car is priced ridiculously high. IMO the person running that ad is simply wasting time and money.
There's no need to guess what Porsches are selling for in your area. You simply go to two or three Dealers and ask them what they will pay you for your car. You have now established the wholesale value of your car. The next thing to do is to look at ads in your area and see what Dealers are asking for similar cars in your area. Keep in mind that the asking price is typically thousands more than what the Dealer will actually sell the car for and also that many of those cars are Porsche certified with the extended warranty. You now have enough data to price your car competitively by pricing it between the wholesale and retail prices.

You could not find more perfect advice than what fast1 wrote above. Be honest about the cost of the car, and remember that you don't have the same time, showroom, sales force and resources to sell the cars like the dealers do. If the trade in value is 35,000, and the retail prices are 43-48000, price yours at 42,000...it's really that simple. Good luck on your sale.

If you even have to second guess selling it then your gut says to keep it. These cars are timeless and never get old. I don't EVER plan on selling mine......just building more garage space to house all of them

Good for you
It seems like the depreciation road down from 36k to 22k is 5-7 years, so you're getting the most for the least out of your car right now. These cars seem pretty bullet-proof to 150,000 miles (RMS excepted of course) so keeping it's the smartest move.
