One point of clarification, BaT provides the listing, nothing more. If your car sells they collect the buyer fee and then you are on your own for the vehicle payment and title transfer. They offer zero escrow services and if the seller flakes you are SOL. They also will not re-list your car if the buyer flakes.

I’ve never had an issue writing comprehensive for sale ads with detailed photos and as such find BaT to be non-value added. I have listed two cars on BaT, their ad was in my opinion mediocre as they omitted much of the detail that I provided. Expect at least a month lead time until your ad is listed and they will push for a low reserve to insure that your car sells so they get the buyer fee. Neither of my cars met reserve and I sold them for far more on my own. I also tried to list an SC and 986S with them, they pushed for such a low reserve that I again sold for about 25% more on my own. If you don’t mind waiting and don’t want to deal with the for sale process hassles it’s probably a good option, and sometimes certain cars that are “hot” (like air cooled 911s) bring stupid money when there are multiple interested parties. Your 930 is beautiful and would likely do well on the site. Wish I could make you an offer!
