climbing interest rates won't help matters either. Mortgage payments will be cutting into people fun budgets!

Thanks for the quick responses....

I did walk through CarMax and talked about their appraisals. They say they only mark up 1500-2000 on their cars no matter how cheap they got them. So if I am already well under KBB then once they add their markup then it should still be a fair price.

Also it appears that tips are rather popular around here. For the past two years every time I see a Porsche I can't resist but to look in the window and check out the interior color, any cool options, whatever. And I've noticed more than 50% as tips.

Sorry to hear about the other troubles you folks have had selling your cars! Lets hope that a sunny summer changes peoples spending moods.

Any other car sales stories?

Cheers

I constantly scan the Denver websites that sell Porsches. It's amazing how long some of those cars have been up for sale.

I think the only vehicles which are guaranteed to sell, and sell quickly, in Colorado are Jeeps (Wranglers & CJ's). Those things go so fast here regardless of the season - and for a nice premium. I honestly thought about buying Jeeps out of state and bringing them to Denver to sell for a couple grand profit each.

xavier405 - I feel your pain. I wish I could offer some advice beyond what's stated here.

Good luck!
