I have a green 997.1RS one and am thinking of selling it. What's your reasoning for keeping your green 997.1?

OP: I agree that dealing with buyers is a PIA...a classic comment after really liking the car is ..I need to think about it....WTF...did you just see it on display on your way to have your colonoscopy and need sometime to recover and evaluate....
I would consider a consignment with the standard 6-8% fee prior to trade it in.
as far as value 120-125k seems about right.

Keep in mind that the consignment is not a ticket to the front of the line -- it's parking space for one car on a lot surrounded by direct competition where the dealer might sell ten cars "off" your car or the buyer might walk in off the street and sign a good check. The dealer will have to inspect the car, detail it and present it for sale (photos, ads on the classifieds Web sites) and make sure their staff is aware of the car. They also have two "customers" to close -- you and the buyer. In other words, the dealer has to sell you on the deal at the same time as having a customer on the buy side to close. Not quite double the work, but still a double-sided job. So if the consignment dealer is doing their job, they're earning their keep -- they should also be on a pretty strict 60 day deadline (which they should welcome -- they either sell a car or they dont, then they have to move on because the business is about turnover and cashflow.)
