Best way to flog my Cayman?

[thomasario]

Greetings.

I have a 6 month old 2.7 Cayman.

Beautiful motor - but am thinking about selling it, getting myself a cheaper 996 which I can put on the track a bit. (I don't want to trade up - I'd rather release the capital, buy an older 996 and leave myself a little to mod it a bit).

I know I'd get the best price selling privately - but I'm paranoid about getting stiched up - forged bankers drafts, etc etc.

What other options if any do I have?

Any suggestions gratefully received

What you gonna get for the Cayman £30k? to buy a potentially ropey old 996 for £22k with 100,000 miles on it to mod and track - mental imo. Get the Cayman round the track.

What he said.

Or, try to find someone who will do a straight swap with you (+/- cash)

I think £25k will get you a good example of a 3.4 996, and no it wont have anywhere near 100k miles if you look around. Theres plenty to choose from.

Seling privately can be a pain, with bl**dy timewasters d*cking you about. Its happened to me.

I wouldnt accept anything apart from CASH if selling privately, as I have heard too many horror stories. Selling privately can go either way, when I sold my bike (GSX-R) it couldnt have gone better, textbook really, but cant say the same for a car I sold privately. I wouldnnt rule it out,but would accept only cash tho, but thats just me.
