Hi all,

I'm planning on selling my first Porsche, which is a 991.1 C2S Cabriolet (2012) and would like some advice on the best place to sell it. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I swapped out the taillights with clear ones and still have the original taillights. Would anyone be interested in buying the original taillights? Or again, where would people recommend selling these...eBay??

Many thanks

Kevin
 
Kevin,

I've had good luck selling a previous 997.2 on Autotrader a few years back. I would use the valuation tool that this club offers and then go in with a price that you are happy with, but that is realistic and then write that you are firm on the price and it is not up for negotiation in the description. While any price is negotiable, it clears out the chancers and filters down to people that are serious about the car. I just had my 991.1 MY2013 valued from a Porsche dealer and they offered a ridiculous value of £49k for a car that I purchased from a Porsche dealer (with a 2 year warranty) only 1 year ago for £62,500. My 991 is in immaculate condition and I know they would turn around and sell it for £60k. While most will say (and I would agree with) that no one expects to get a good price from a Porsche dealer for a trade-in, but thought you might find the reference useful.

Good luck!

In June I was really dissapointed that 2x OPC's valued my car at such a low price.

In the end I sold it within 24 hours on the Autortader and £8,000 more than the OPC's offered me. That was still £3-4k below the retail listing on Porsche Cars website, but well worth me selling privately
 
Thanks Ben and Peter for the response, much appreciate.

Likewise, I’ve successfully sold many cars on Autotrader but this is my first Porsche with an approx retail value of about £50k+. The ‘advice’ I was given by a few people (mostly trade buyers admittedly!) is that I’m unlikely to sell my car on Autotrader/privately as it’s a £50k car and most people won’t have that kind of cash so will either need part exchange and/or finance. Plus, they will want some kind of assurance and peace of mind from a car like this and hence a dealer is the best bet.

Again, having never sold a car of this value or a sports/performance car like this before on Autotrader/privately, I would be very keen to get people’s thoughts and whether there’s any validity to what some people/trade buyers are saying?

Also, with it being a cabriolet I guess its not the best time to sell but I thought it’s a shame for the car just to be sat in my garage until late spring/early summer, especially as it still has Porsche Extended Warranty until September 2021.

Thanks

Kevin

 
I bought my 991S privately 2 yrs ago with cash and no warranty for £56k
the previous owner was OCD like lots of us with his car.
ive been offered £40-41k by our OPC
privately I’ve been offered £48.5k.again no warranty on mine.
ive decided to keep it as its last of N/a ,full hi spec and low miles.
id never sell to a dealer on my experience

 
On the PCGB website, if you hover over the 'Membership' tab it should bring up another menu which shows 'valuations.' Click here, and then go through the steps. Thanks
 
Thanks Kevin. I’ve just had a look and one of the fields that you have to fill in (with an *) is the estimated valuation. That’s what I want them to tell me.
it doesn’t make sense.

Hahahaha....I know, very odd. However, if you follow the process through it will go off to Porsche GB and they will come back after a week or two with a valuation price.

The warranty will definitely help you sell it privately as it did on mine. It’s certainly worth trying.
