Which Porsche Dealer are Buying

[rimkah]

Any Porsche dealers buying at the moment? I've called a few who have said they are not buying as the market is dead meat. Would prefer to do a straight deal rather than have to scout through numerous potential private buyers. Its a 2010 Turbo S and 2003 996 C4S.

Or any other ideas folks?

Cheers,
Rim

The nights are drawing in, but I would have thought that any dealers would buy them.

At a price.

Try 911V. Had a very good selling experience a few weeks ago.

Try James Wood, not sure who he buys for but he is on 07702 911911... drives a hard bargain/deal but a colleague of mine used him a year or so back on a 997.1 Turbo

PM or email me the details. I will get you bids on both, the C4S might even be for our stock, sales have been busy and we're buying.

I always liked Henry's comment on his web site under "cars wanted"...

Our Henry said:

You would be amazed at the number of times we get asked the question, "do you buy cars as well as sell them." Of course we do, it`s either that or steal them!

Ahh - that sounds like 911 Virgin and yes they're a bit short of stock at the moment as they seem to have been rather more successful selling cars than being able to buy good one's! It's where I've just bought my 997 C2S from!

Will do ta

chaps how do i find out the trade in prices for my porsches. i.e. so I know roughly what I should be getting. The car as follows:

c4s
2003 52 plate
49k miles
Silver
Silver leather
fpsh
tiptronic
pse
pcm

997 turbo s
2010
11k miles
silver
black leather
pccb
pdk
centre lock alloys
centre console in leather and lid with logo

Any ideas, the turbo s was bought for £99k at start of year and c4s four years ago at £40k

[Helicopter123]

The Turbo S is very spec/condition sensitive.

I would expect to pay a little over £90k at a Porsche dealership for yours today, possibly nearer £95k with the ceramic brakes.

As a straight sale to a dealer however, you would probably be looking at £75k, maybe nearer £80k on a good day. Given the state of the economy, I'm not sure this is a "good day" if you know what I mean.

I would have thought interest in the Turbo S should still be quite good - it's still a flagship model. And I thought the basic S spec is virtually everything, including the pccbs. The only differences between most S models are in the detailing and colour. It's the standard Turbos that vary more widely in spec.

Of course dealers are able to be discerning about what they buy in for cash. Depends quite a bit on its background, and two owners in a year or so (making the next owner the 3rd) might put some off. Suppose you could consider SOR.

I would be tempted to talk to JZMAGNATEC about a sale or return on the Turbo S. I spoke to them recently (ironically when looking to buy a Turbo S!) about selling my 997 C4S and found them very helpful. If your warranty is the three year rather than two year one then an SOR deal will also let you transfer this while an outright sale to a dealer won't. If you think of letting it go close to £80k then pm me. The one I was looking at from a dealer in Harrogate was £95....

[rimkah]

best offers so far £86.5 for ts, centre console was optoin otherwise standard i think, and £17k for c4s

I know it's no help to the OP, but Nottingham OPC have a white Turbo S for sale at £130k.
Not sure if it's new as it's actually outside with the used cars, but it's a 2011 car with just £8k of options on it.

(not on their website, either)

[rimkah]

Sold both today, thanks for your help boys.

Last question dealer said I could do paperwork at sametime of sale for putting private number plate on retention is this ok to do?

[thegoose]

It's fine, assuming it's a reputable dealer they'll be used to doing this all the time.
