Cab: sell now or wait until spring?

[kryten22uk]

Got a TT cab that is sitting in the garage unlikely to get much use over the winter. I'm thinking of selling to a dealer now, and saving the 4mths depreciation (as going to get something new next spring anyway). Or does the winter affect 911 cab values such that I would be selling at a depressed market cancelling any depreciation saving?

Not a market man by any means but having owned a Cab (996 C4, not Turbo), I bought it in the October and could have sold it the following May for the same money with another 5000 miles on it (kept it for nearly five years in the end). IMHO, the best time to buy a convertible is Oct/Nov and the best time for a 4x4 is May/Jun. By coincidence I have owned convertibles and 4x4 and never done badly by playing that rule.

That's why Mrs JW911 is looking for a convertible now (sadly a Boxster not a Turbo).

What's the spec, as could be interested if you do decide to sell.

I don't think you would lose anything between now and springtime - will be easier to sell as well when the sun comes out again.

Sell it the first weekend the sun comes out to play again. Makes people do very impulsive things! Not best time now and as others have said don't think you will lose much between now and spring. Best of luck whatever you decide.

I'd wait until Spring.

Always easier showing people a car in nice weather, less chance test drive will be in the rain and you won't have to soend so much time cleaning the grime off for the next viewing!
