911- does nobody sell privately anymore?

I should have been in a 991.2 cab by now. Saw one advertised privately earlier this year. 17 plate, mega spec and really low miles. However it was a ‘base’ Carrera with manual. I intend to own for no more than 2 years and I was concerned how desirable a non-S cab with manual would be.

My error as it turns out. Although the used car market seems widely in the doldrums, used 991 seem to be flying if they are low miles. Almost all the cars advertised are with dealers.

If you have a 991 would you even bother advertising privately or does everyone use a dealer or CarWow and the like now?

I’ve bought and sold Porsches privately in the past.
Both buyers and sellers need to tread carefully, but it can work well.

One of the most significant benefits is the inclusion of the extended Porsche Warranty.
It makes it much so easier and safer for both parties.
I wouldn’t buy a contemporary Porsche privately without it.

WBAC are offering incredibly strong money at the moment, so perhaps they’re hoovering everything up?

I didn’t even consider selling privately. Even though I think you’re going to be dealing with a better quality of buyer at this level, I’m not sure it’s worth the hassle and risk for the sake of a couple of grand.

I recently sold my 991.1 C4S privately and bought my 997.1 privately too. Both were quick and smooth transactions.

There are currently 11 listed on Motorway, so looks like owners happier to give them to trade buyers.
