Anything to do with it being 10+ years old and most banks don't loan on that age of a car?

Well it's 7 years old. I'm not sure if you're referring to my car or somebody else's. I hadI had no problem getting a loan at 2. 5% but I have a credit score of 817.

I think credit unions are typically pretty cool about loans on older cars.

Trump tax on German cars. Believe these cars will definitely now begin to go up.

Mines a 2012 and I secure an 80% value loan for 63 mos. @ 4.05% with ease.

well, I suppose there's also the Mezger crowd too taking the opposing view of yours (in which MY 997 to own)


GLWS my man, the market will speak and you can take things from there.

if in no hurry, sit tight

No hurry at all. It's not like I don't enjoy driving it. I'm starting to get more calls. Maybe the proposed tariffs will help the pre owned market.

no I turned down 85 and 87. That is wholesale pricing. Somewhere between wholesale and retail is the magic number.

I don't know if the tariff threat is a negotation tactic or real but I do think further threats will cause an overreaction and new/used German car sales will respond accordingly.

It’s the salesperson/dealer/personality that successfully sells a/the vehicle. Maybe that’s the problem? I really don’t know. But you can’t be abrasive, dismissive or difficult no matter how special your car is. Friendly, enthusiastic and data to backup your claims about service is all it takes. Facts, responsiveness and friendliness is all people are really looking for.

Again, this is not a recommendation or observation but more of what i’ve experienced.

For a bit more you get a 991 tts for a bit less you get a 997.1 turbo manual (metzger = history, manual = fun) 997.2 are just meh at the prices they are and as a proposition.
It's not only your car tho, i have been tracking the market and 997 gt2 and pretty much any gt3/rs that isn't a deal financially and spec wise, are sitting on the market for +12 months. New cars are getting all the money, used cars are just pilling up.

I reckon it just takes the right buyer, meet half way and everyone should be happy.
Black is an awesome colour and I doubt that's the reason.
It's always a lot more fun buying a car rather selling one though. I HATE selling cars!
You just need the right buyer.
And how the hell do you guys get a loan at 2.5%! I haven't financed mine, but if I did it would be around 9 to 12%. Burglars here.
2.5% is as good as interest free.

2.5% is probably for a very short term. 24-36 month loan.
My 4.05% was for 63 months.

But now I see you're not in the U.S., so I'm sure that may be more about why you stated the higher % numbers.
