What's my car worth?

[Porsche Chick]

Yes, just pull it up on kbb.com.

Beautiful car, btw.

Thanks for all you chipping in.

I am not planning to either part the car out or to swap the original suspension parts back in (I no longer have them and it would be such a pain in the butt to do it in the first place).
KBB value is $14.8k and I don't expect to get any extra $ for all the goodies I put in. Most potential buyers won't even know what PSS9 or Tarrett is ;-)

So my plan is to list it for $14.5k and hope that the extras and the way the car looks will make it stand out against the rest of cars in the same range.
Just for reference: When I bought my 997, the dealer offered my $10k on trade in, so anything above $13.5k would sound like a good deal for me.

But please keep opinions/comments/flames coming ....

At least it was never tracked Chris . Something to consider; when I sold my '02 S a year and a half back I found that someone in the market for a "fun" car and not a true Porsche enthusiast kind of freaked out when I pulled the binder full of receipts and service history. I know a couple of guys made up their minds right then upon seeing the stack of paperwork.

My guess is you'll draw much more interest and get more money by posting it for sale in Porsche web sites. Good Luck.....

Uh-oh. What's wrong with tracking it? I've autoX with mine, but only a couple of times (and not very well, if you must know), is this a big issue?

For a group of potential buyers this is a big no-no

Ooops, I didn't mean to deride anything here Chris, sorry if I did. In my experience occasionally tracking a car is a non-issue come selling time.

No, No, that's not what I meant with my post.

I see so many ads (even for GT3) where it says "never tracked", that I am assuming that there must be many potential buyers out there for whom this must be a big red flag. That's what I meant with me post. I will also remove my "badge of honor" decals of all the tracks I drove on.
I for my part, when I looked at GT3 while I was out on the hunt for a new car, I ruled out every GT3 w/o a built in roll cage and proper GT3 seats.

Chris, why are you selling? Are you driving the C4S more?
