Trade in value

[MConte05]

Posting an ad online (free) and maybe having to make human contact (via email or phone) to several people for less than a week isn't worth an extra $2k in the pocket?

Man, maybe you Porsche guys have way more money than I thought. I know I'd could use an extra $2k. It's a desirable sports car for under $15k. Maybe if he was trying to unload a $75k used 911 Turbo thennnn maybe he'd have problems because of a "down economy" but get that car in front of a 20-something young engineer who wants a cool sports car for under $15k in California of all places, it'll sell no matter what the economy.

To the OP. Post on CL, just a blurb with the list you already posted here. It will take 10 minutes, and see how many offers you get within the first day, then reconsider trading in. Put on CL for $14k, people will lowball you by a couple thousand, but if you are comfortable selling for $12k, then bam deal done and both parties are happy.

Strip the sways and shocks and sell them to me!

Past that….wait until Spring! Prices are slumping, in March they will be pumping - at least a couple grand more. It will give you time to put it back to stock trim…and you can offload the 'race' parts to someone like me and pocket and couple grand off of BOTH. Total is $4k MORE than you will get TODAY! My $.02!

Sounds to me like your dealer is offering to sell your $14,000 car for a flat one time fee of $4,000. Better jump on that deal before he changes his mind!
