I don't think its worth it to sell in this market. Not one bit. I can not think of a worse time to be a seller of a Porsche. Unless you really need the money you're getting the wrong end of a deal on a sale right now. I would sooner trade it (tough to do I know...) or stick in long term storage until you have the funds to dump a 3.8x50 engine in it.
I sold my last car (heavily mod'd Miata) because someone offered me a great deal. In retrospect I really didn't need the money (wasn't enough to make a huge difference to me) and there really wasn't anything out there that would provide a similar level of satifisfaction for the equal amount of dinero. That car would have lasted forever no matter how many autocross or DE's I submitted it to. No wonder the new owner had such a big smile as he drove away with it.

Why? Why do people say this? Do they presume the value to go up at some point? Cars aren't the stock market. They seem to either depreciate, or depreciate quickly.

Does that mean he should let it rack up more miles and/or get older... Then sell it? I say sell now, cuz that thing ain't going up in value. That's just me though.

[djomlas]

yeah , its not gonna go up in the value.
I really dont need the money, and am really not in a hurry to sell it. The only thing is that i dont drive it, i ride the bike, and if its ****************ty or winter out i drive the G6 to work and back just couse i dont wanna mess with no traction control or RWD and all that. Although, on a cold day when its not raining i take it out, but somehow i just lost the passion for driving that ever since riding the bike for so long, plus i fill up the bike for $6 hahaha

I really cant loose money on it, almost no matter how bad the economy is.
Do you think 15 grand is asking too much? maybe 14?

Sammy, MAN that is awesome, couse that guy is a monster when it comes to autoX.
give me a buzz or email me next time u go around here, im maywood maybe, couse no way im going to Gary IN hahaha (sold my gun) but yeah man, that is just sweet that you got that good. i wonder how me and Nick would do if we kept on at it, but i bailed out while i was beating him and ill stick to that hahahhahhaah

well my buddy is shopping a 2.5 for the track/racing and he's seen all sorts. Some real garage queens and some dogs. The highest he's told me about so far is $9K.
I thought we saw a black 99 back in January go for $12k with very low miles. BoxsterS's with about 40K miles are going for around $15K. Since credit became tough to get in November I've never seen a steeper drop in basically all Porsches.
If anything I would be tempted to sell the 2.5 but "average in" with a 996 C4 if winter driving is necessary. At least you get the upside of the ****************ty market as a buyer.

In the bowels of a deep recession like the one we're in, heavy discounts off wholesale values are offered to move a car. My newish 07 bimmer was $47k KBB value for a CPO car with 15k miles on it. I drove it off the lot for $39, including taxes, title, and license.

A 2 year old CPO low miles 550i will sell for far closer to the KBB value when the economy turns around.

These are the days when the savers in this work snag unbelievable deals on big ticket items. These are also the days when sellers who have no other choice but to sell take huge losses.

DJ, if there is no urgent financial reason to sell your boxster, keep the car. Spring 2010 is going to be a much better time to sell it and make a lot more from the car.

[djomlas]

yeah
well heres the thing, ill put it up for sale for one price, if i get it, great, if not then ill keep it
im not giving it away, im selling it for one price pretty much (or range). so if it goes for less than that im not budging
