So when I had a client ask me to sell his unique Porsche, I decided to try PCar Market. The decision was based on a friend's experience. He said they are far more personal and hands-on and they advocate for the sale if the car doesn't meet reserve. They got a spectacular price for his Porsche following long, aggressive negotiation after his (excellent) car fell short in the auction.
In the case of the car I listed on PCar Market, it fell short in the auction, but they then took over in their "Deal Tank" operation, communicating directly with the prospect and me as a middleman. They were able to bring the high bidder up to an acceptable number and the car sold.
So I'm inclined to consider PCar Market a decent alternative to BaT, depending on the type of Porsche I'm repping...

I just sold my G50 for top dollar on Pcar and can not say enough good things about the way I was treated by their staff. Extremely friendly and helpful. While I have bought cars on BAT I would NOT sell a car there. They have their "opinion" on the value of YOUR car and missed my value by $80K. Do I need to repeat that???? The attitude I got from BAT was "you don't know **** - we are the experts - it's our site".....
Well BAT you said it was worth $60K and it sold for $140K+. I apparently knew way more about this car than you.
