Do you guys think this is fair, dealer trade offer (not from a Porsche dealer).

09 911 Carrera, 3000 miles, pristine condition.
Arctic Silver
Power/Comfort Seats
Self Dimming Mirrors
Heated Front Seats
Bluetooth
Bose Pkg.
Floor Mats
Universal Audio Interface

60K offer.

Dealer called other dealerships including a Porsche dealer, and they were going with 55K, which was quickly rejected.

Dealer trade would be best--health problems, given that, 60K fair?

TIA.

thanks for the input. much appreciated!

Pretty pathetic when you are offered wholesale value instead of trade-in value. Why do we even have trade-in values listed when most of the dealers don't use them . . .

Depending on your urgency, you should put out a feeler here.
Best of luck on that health thing BTW.

You can pretty much be assured that whatever service you use to determine value (KBB, Edmunds, etc.), the offer from the dealer will be less than the lowest number the service provides whether it's trade, retail, private party. On the other hand if a dealer is offering a used car for sale you can be assured that the ask will always be higher than any number the service provides - they like to have it both ways!

Well, sorry to say guys, I'm not longer a Porsche owner. I traded for a new E350 4matic. This was really not a pleasant week of trading a car I really enjoy, but it was time. Someday, I'll order another Porsche--with exactly what I want on it.

The 350 is a boat, but a comfortable one that I don't have a problem driving year round. We have some concern over pacemaker interference. Next step is a defibrillator so, after mulling things over it was time to maximize what I could on trade. MB guys stepped up for a decent trade and deal on a new car.

I'll check in, and big thumbs up to you guys--great forum!

Most important thing is your health. Be well. You made the right decision.

Long ago I gave up my 18 month old 993 Targa after I told my biggest client to go to hell, leased an E320 for a while til I got back on my feet. Obviously your health is more important that any car and you made a good switch.

Good luck with health issues and hope you can find your way back into the fold eventually. (I actually found that my desire to get back to a pcar was a really good motivating force.)

And BTW, dealer trade prices usually suck, but then selling a car yourself generally sucks too.
