Thinking about sellling or trading my car. Value?

Bill finally spoke as I was waiting, but he didn't say whether to keep or sell.

bump.

1 year later and I've done virtually nothing. I thought I had a deal in place for a nice 964 C4 plus cash trade but it went poof.

Is it too late in the year / season to put this up for sale? Have real world selling prices changed significantly since last fall?

I love these cars but have more pressing things requiring my time and energy. That's why I was so psyched about the sorted 964.

I promise not to bump this one again in another year, no matter what happens.

I think you will do better now than then. I also don't think time of year will matter much. There are still a ton of folks looking for the right car right now. Good luck.

[Nachtfalter]

Probably made 1,000 dollars a month on that car this year.

Tech is about right for a quick sale. I believe if you did mimimal sorting you could get a good deal more. Bring it to Auto Associates and have them review it.

I think the last 10 months have been good to your car. High $20s now, IMO. Not sure the car has appreciated $1000/mo., but certainly more than $500...

What does wife , I assume there's one, say about the hunk of metal in her single car garage ?

[deathpunk dan]

Girlfriend no care, actually does not want me to sell. In a perfect world, she would rather see a 2002tii in the garage.

Ah, that makes the decision easier then ...

I would start driving the '71 911 now or find one I would enjoy driving.

Our spirited driving years are not getting any longer.

call a specialist. consign with a high end boutique dealer. I'm sure their bots already called you. Get $$$ and relax. When you feel remorse, count the $$$.

Have sent you a message.

To me, selling and buying a 3.2 is a great idea. You are not leaving the appreciation ladder and I think you will have a much better driving car that is still every bit raw, visceral and porsche. To be blunt, we all know the T is the lesser longhood. Id wager that there is a better chance that the 3.2 sees more appreciation than the T in the coming years, and with the price you might get for the T you have have a very nice G50 coupe...

No bad choices...

Whoops!
Bumping bc I have not touched the car and finally ordered a COA.
Hopefully COA arrives by month's end. Would like to sell before the fall / winter.

Just list it on ebay with your best photos.
Or, bringatrailer.

You realize you have something special, and you do, but you just don't have the time for it.

There, hows that?

Put it in Bring A Trailer auctions. Porsche seem to do VERY well in that venue. Good thing you didn't sell a few years ago. Your car has doubled in value since then.

Indeed.

It's fun to read what we all thought about values 3 years ago.

Bump.

Things that have changed:
- Purchased a complete, rebuilt 2.4 with Webers from another (relatively local) forum member a few years back for $7500. It sits covered on a rolling cart waiting for install.
- dropped drivetrain, ID'd trans leak as just input shaft seal, had flywheel resurfaced, tin powdercoated
- pulled rear calipers to rebuild, planned on installing all Elephant rear bushings, SC spring plates, RTABs, and found an area needing repair around the driver's side torsion bar where it exits the body. Ground away undercoating, pics avail to show.

Work again stalled. Had to evict tenant from rental property, and get that house listed and sold.
I need to get moving on our house, so it is move on from this project, and am wondering if it makes more sense to list as a lot or piecemeal.

Google drive folder with lots of pics avail. Looking for valuation guidance. Have had some time wasting tire kicker uber lowball types sniffing around.

LOL, I was totally confused by the prior advice in this thread then I saw the date this was originally posted.

Why don't you develop a reasonable reserve in your head and shuttle it off to BaT? You'll almost certainly get top dollar there.

[deathpunk dan]

Sounds good, but they are pretty backed up and I want to move this car before the snow flies. It couldn't hurt to submit to them. Maybe I will try ebay.
