I've had my 993 on Autotrader for three weeks and have not gotten a single inquiry about it. I've gotten more views on Pelican than on eBay and the only serious inquiries have been through Pelican. I have run into some Porsche guys who had never heard of Pelican, so I figured Autotrader would be a good way to reach those guys, as well as some of the European market.

I got an email from a guy who works at Autotrader, asking me how my ad was working out for me. I replied that it was a total waste of money so far. He called today to discuss and tried to upsell me to their $250 ultimate or whatever package, said my current ad was getting buried at the bottom of the last page.

When I do a search for 95-98 993s, I put a price range of $35-60k, which weeds out the turbos and S'es and then 37 results appear. I don't think 37 is too many ads to scroll through, particularly when each one has a thumbnail photo showing the color. This Autotrader rep. claims I'll get 93% more views and my car will sell quickly with this package. I'm very skeptical. Should I do it?
