...when the 4.0 arrives in August. It has only delivery miles. White gauges, PCCB, red wheels. What do you think it's worth?

Cheers!

Crazy Canuck

I'll give you $75,000.

any other options?

I might have someone interested......but he does not want PCCB

dertub

75k? Right. You have to throw in the chick in your avatar for that!!

I kept the a/c, radio, etc.

somewhere between 15-30% depreciation from MSRP, since its low miles closer to the former than the latter...

whatever you do, do not give it to a dealer ...

If trade in value is, say, 115k, then you'd have to private sale the car for 122k plus (assuming 6% tax rate) to make up for the sales tax without a trade in.

In this price range, where sales tax is very substantial, it is pretty hard to justify all the time and effort needed to sell the car privately. Personally I hate doing it.

If someone on Rennlist wants to man up and buy the car that would be great. otherwise dealing with the general public is a royal PITA, so I am not quite sure what to make of Larry's comment....I certainly don't give a crap if a dealer makes money on my trade-in if I get what I want out of the deal.

I share the sentiment of loathing to sell cars in the open market. If you can find someone on one of the forum sites, it can be quick and painless. Give or take MSRP, presumably about $145-7K, I think you're right to ask around $125K, but with only delivery miles, you might aim higher and look for similar recent sales. I'm bullish on the prospects of the 3.8RS and I'd start at $130K and push the dealers to find $120K on trade-in. Sadly, dealers will still want to gouge on the wholesale end of the spectrum, so maybe $115K from the dealer providing the 4.0 would be your path of least resistance.

ps. If you didn't drive the 3.8 and you don't drive the 4.0, I'm pretty sure you won't see much difference in the horsepower gains of the 4.0 ... : )

and there is the rub ... getting what you want out of the deal ... which is always a challenge with a dealer; however I agree that dealing with the
GP (and honestly even RLers) can be "difficult" at times.

Izzone

I kno wsomeone looking for a RS, low option....like yours minus ceramics (he can always sell the useless frisbees and buy track rotors)

PM me your thinking price......I know what I paid for mine

+1 I'm with Larry.

Often people try to sell cars high and then give it away to the dealer in the end.
IMHO, just ask for $120-$125K depending if you want to deal with it.

Me? I would ask and sell it for $120K and make some one happy with it instead of giving it to dealer who then gets the profit. For that price I would ask for a healthy deposit now so you know car is sold.


I sold my '07GT3 over a year ago for $78,500.00, my probably too low asking price. If you ask low and make it very clear that price can not be discussed you don't get all the lowball offers and I had a lot of fun talking to fellow enthusiasts instead.

OP: front end lift?

Between 115-123k. Mike

Why even buy the 4.0 if you are not even driving the 3.8?? Weird if you ask me

MarkD

I like your style.

Wish I were looking a year ago. It seems to be difficult to find what I want via a private party sale. Not many out there. There are, however, many at dealers of one sort or another...

I've decided that the Green '07 and '11 4.0 will be keepers. I'll enjoy the '10 and the '04 996 GT3. I'm just running out of space (and money). The '10 is flawless.
Front end lift? It will still scrape. I'm just glad I got the 4.0.
