I was roundly shat upon by the Rennlist idiot class for stating the obvious in your FS forum thread.
Having an asking price fully 20% above any real (and declining market) doesn't encourage 'obo' offers. Instead, it makes you look uninformed and unrealistic.
.2 cars are readily available for list and will begin their inevitable depreciation ride down soon. .1 cars are going down even faster. Better to ask a realistic price now and get it sold rather than slowly reduce your ask (being careful to keep it nicely above market for the next six months) and sell it later for less.

No other options than the ones listed.
This is a purist's car and has all the options that matter to me, which is the brakes for performance, the color for looks, the lojack for security, the extended warranty for piece of mind.
Obviously I didn't pay sticker for it, as I bought it at the height of the market.

It seems to me, there are buyers -- and this is the season for cars to change hands -- so it's a matter of attracting their attention. If I were shopping, I'd look at PCA Mart, ebay, pmletter, craigslist and porsche.com used car dealer listings. If you've got a full ad with asking price and tons of photos, I think that's about all you can do.
Are any of the car sales sites (other than those I mention, above) any good? There seem to be quite a few that serve the needs of the avid Camry buyer or earnest comparison shopper in the exciting mini-van market. It seems there's several places that allow leased cars to change hands. It just seems like none of the car classifieds Web sites are any good. Are there any good ones?

What other ways are you advertising?

That car is listed as a gt3, not an rs, that's why I didn't see it.
Ur point is well taken in this case.
But it's the only one at this price, prolly been heavily tracked due to roll cage, with expired warranty and is an east coast car, which speaks to potential rust damage...
In any case, as I have repeated over and over, that is why I put the OBO

! Anyway, your current price is a bit more realistic. Good luck. I assume that you still have the Sharky bypass available? Has that price come down within reason too?

I have not put an ad anywhere else than here.
I was hoping to offer it to you guys first and knew you would have great input.
I will now take extensive pics, and put in on ebay and other places.
911dev, feel free to make an offer on the sharky if you want it.

I have a C4S Cab that I'm expecting to replace and I know I'll want to sell it privately -- the dealers have become utterly incapable of managing their inventories, so the direct consequence is they have no clue about where to price their newer model vehicles since there's been such cut-throat discounting (and fear and greed ...)
Just looking around at 2009 and 2010 911's around $100K, there's people with the unfortunately state of affairs of having near zero mile cars with an MSRP of $120K and they'll be lucky to see $80K after less than 12 months and there's people with 10K mile cars with an MSRP of $100K asking to get out for $80K after two years. Both numbers are "right" and both are horribly wrong -- the economic chaos, compounded by hasty discounting has destroyed a lot of equity in Porsche's secondary market.
