Well the dealer has advertised the car now on his website….so let’s see. He’s priced it a little cheaper than what a similar car is on an OPC site but significantly higher than what a dealer would offer…so let’s see. Plus nothing signed by me.

Why the price difference between your listing and his website?

Auto Trader is the biggest vehicle sales site in the UK, anyone looking for your vehicle will find it at the lower price on Auto Trader, is the dealer expecting to be paid if your listing generates the sale?

I’ll be removing the Autotrader one next weekend as it will expire.

I assume most people prefer to buy from a dealer, as it gives them some sense of security, the car will be prepared etc….but as it’s still got 2 year OPC warranty, buyers should really do the private sale.

Just to give an update on this.

My Macan was sold today.
It was a commissionable sale.

The dealer advertised it on their website, but I kept hold of the car.
I ended up selling it for £57K

The dealer took £1,200 as their commission and £500 for prep and fixing the wheels and an oil change (which was due).

Considering I was offered 52 by Porsche, 55 by other dealers, it worked out really well.

Congrats on selling it but just to clarify, You received £55,300 when other dealers were offering to buy the car from you all the way back in November for £55,000?

Or £57k was net of their costs?

Seems bizarre. Two months to sell a car which should go easily in days

Still a lack of clear info from the OP.

This is one of those threads when I just think why did I bother scrolling through this.

Correct - 57k was what I cleared.
Not bad for a Base Macan bought 14 months ago.

To clarify, I was looking to sell as second hand car prices on low mileage prestige cars were super high.
Secondly, it took 2 months as December tends to be quiet.
Third, I was asking a high price, it was advertised at just under 59k, more expensive than the same spec brand new.

Makes more sense at 57 clear.

Glad it worked out.

1900 eventually, but just a couple of minor scuffs….the guy who was buying wanted them done etc…

It’s not 1900 miles on long drives, it’s lots of 1-5 mile drives in central London and parking etc….

I see.

Kind of makes a car a bit pointless then.

Glad you got the sale you wanted.
