Anyone else sold a car back to the OPC network and looked to see what they then advertised it for? I did this in '09 selling a 987S for about £23k (I think) and they then first put it up for £29k. So about £6k/12% gap (This is a straight cash sale not PEx).

Reasons for asking is I'm looking to do the same again. Very similar position ie 3 year old car, similar spec, etc. First bid of £24k looks some way short as current similar cars up for sale on the approved site are around £32k so more like 8k/25%. So should I reasonably be expecting more?

6k sounds about right, and when I say right I mean what to expect rather than it being a particularly good deal, 8k (25%) does sound like offer may be a bit low so may be worth trying to improve slightly, however does all depend on individual situation / exact spec comparison / whether they need to do work to the car etc.

Since they now put two years warranty on used cars it's a bit higher than it used to be.

A GT car will be 10k less than retail.

If you can prove the car needs no work then a OPC will be happy to take less, but for a straight sale just go and see 911 virgin.

Some OPC pay more than Indies depends on the car. But your figures don't seem too bad.

Stick an advert in the classifieds, you'll get nutters and scams but plenty of trade bids as well, some take the p*ss while others are very fair, I've sold 3 out of my last 4 cars this way, you may even get a genuine human to buy it smile
