Thinking of selling a supersport

There are few problems selling your own vehicle. You can advertise on the club web site, pistonheads, ebay (advertisement feature only) and other forms. Stick a note in the shop window or in the car itself.
Spend time on making the vehicle gleam and above all else be up front with its description.
I sadly sold my 3.2 Coupe only a few months ago. The first person to view purchased and he did not live in this country. Your vehicle will sell itself as long as you put out all the relevant details and be honest about its condition, good or bad and value it accordingly.

Thanks for your reply's I'm worried about people knowing where the car lives. I sold a 944 had a lot of idiots so worried about people seeing the car and trying to seal it.

I am sure that advertised through the club web site and pistonheads your address is not posted only a contact email and telephone number. As they say, "At the end of the day" a person will wish to view the vehicle. Hopefully you an weed out out most of the tyre kickers.

I have never tried this but maybe if you informed prospective buyers that there was a lot of interest and if they wished to view and they wanted to hold the vehicle they could place a refundable deposit.
When the gentleman purchased my vehicle he left me a deposit to hold the vehicle until he could get to view. The deposit would have been returned to him if he did not purchase. What the deposit said to me was that the guy was seriously interested and tyre kickers would not do that.
Maybe some other members would like to make a comment on that idea?
 
Sounds a good idea. I've advertised it now but have been approached by Silverstone car auctions about putting in there. So I think I will probably be doing that. Thanks again for all your advice, Have very much enjoyed being part of the Porsche club and having had this car has been a life long dream. But after nine years I fancy something else.
 
Sell it to someone on here who will drive it and enjoy it , don't do the deal through Silverstone Car auctions .... let someone else get the next phase of enjoyment from the car instead of some well off tiff who wNts to stick it in his 'Investment collection'....
 
This car is to good to drive to much. It really belongs in a collection. I would hate to see it not cared for its lasted to long in factory condition not to be kept that way. There are loads of other one that could be used but this one it would be a shame. I know you will all say it's a car and was made to be used! And that's true but there can only be a few in its condition so why not keep that few in that time warp?

I'll keep my thoughts to myself and of course, the OP's choice of selling medium is entirely up to him, but this thread could become quite lively now...
Can't wait!
 
I have a Supersport that is completely original. This car won The Clubs National Concours event almost twenty years ago. Whilst I dont drive mine a lot, and never in the winter, I think you are wrong not to drive it. That's what it was built for. Not to sit in a collection or museum!
How would you like to be consigned to an old folks home when you were in your mid thirties?[:-]

On Selling. Vet you buyers on the telephone. I have done this previously when selling. On one occasion I got it wrong and a chap turned up about a hour late, I didn't like his tone. I told him someone had just purchased the car (a BMW 318IS) and driven it away.

PS I would be interested to know what do you think your car is worth?

 
If you are planning to sell and would like some valuable feedback from PCGB members, just post a few pictures, a brief description of history and your target price.

The range of feedback should give you a good idea of what to expect and it's worth keeping in mind that PCGB has many enthusiasts and collectors.

It goes without saying that there are many wonderful cars that have been sold privately between PCGB members, without paying sales commission to a third-party.

With a high quality classic Porsche, the car's provenance, condition and history should be evident.

This is as good an audience as you can get to provide some genuine feedback.

This says it all for me.. in fact I am going to plagarise this quote from now on!

I would have thought a proper advert in the FOR SALE section on this site would find a buyer.
You then know you are getting an upstanding PCGB member to deal with and not some scallywag member of the public.
