"Eury - AFRICA TWIN!!!!!!!" (eurylokhos)

I really haven’t been driving it since my son ha s gotten taller and my wife has gotten sick, so I decided to the other day to sell the 996. I’m going to lose a metric ass load of money, but most of the time I drive it, I’m doing it because I feel guilty having it sit.
Any feedback on my ad, Oppo? I’ve gotten one sweet “$6k, cash!” offer, and one for trade on an SL500. Any changes I should make?

If you’re tempted by the 6k cash offer, just know I’ll at least offer 7k.

Wait. Is it CASH!!!? It seems important to put it in all caps with exclamation points.

It’s a pragmatic approach, but on the other hand it creates the opportunity for owning another fun/interesting car down the line.
As for the ad, it’s probably one of the better ads since the pictures are good and the description is thorough. If the other guy offered $6k I’ll offer $6001.

Perhaps make it more brief, cut out the service bit.(take a photo of the stack of s ervice records)
The ad only needs to peak their interest, the nitty gritty details can be explained on the phone and in person.

What do you realistically think this will sell for? I know it has the IMS done and it’s a 4 manual but I thought these got pretty cheap.

Realistically they change hands for $13.5 k at the low side with needs and no service history to $19k for good condition with records. I’m betting I end up somewhere in the middle.

Nice, my guessing from ads I drool over was somewhere around 15k would be a deal for the buyer. Good luck with your sale!

Assuming you footed the bill for the IMS service. I saw a couple other big ticket items (top replacement)... ya gotta have some pretty serious money into it. I think you’re going to have to be a motivated seller on this. You’ve obviously priced it right on point w/ private party value. If you’re firm there I think you will wait a long time for the right buyer. If you’ll at least engage a couple of low entry offers, I bet you’ll sell quickly at 1-3 less than you’re asking. Obviously not talking about yer boy coming in hot with $6k... but someone that says $13-14k... might come up a few (I will and have when the desire is strong).
Another option is Bring a Trailer. It’s a 911 with 3 pedals so they will definitely list it, and its had the IMS work so the peanut gallery will shut their fat mouths. For sure it will sell, but I bet they will make you go no reserve. Which could be good if you get a couple of people with a real desire for your particular car (colors options etc) , but is otherwise terrifying .
I kick around selling my M3 from time to time, but the longer I have it the tougher it gets. I financed 8k more than the price of the car over 4 years when I was 22 years old to get it, haha. That will be 14 years ago in January. I was also recently feeling guilty about not driving it (I have to keep one car at my parents house because space) So I laid up my Alltrack and am DD the M3 now.
Good luck with the sale!!!

I’d toss your ad on Rennlist and Porsche Club of America if you haven’t already . At least the responses you get will be serious.

LOL I saw 6k and thought that was the price and my mind was swimming thinking about how I was going to call off tomorrow to get a loan and wondering why it was so cheap. :P Im an idiot.

That’s right plan. It’s on CL and FB marketplace with a few Porsche groups now. Tomorrow I’ll take advantage of my PCA membership.

I’ll trade you a 2012 Chevy Cruze LT (manual!) and a Volvo 850 GLT! And to sweeten the deal I’ll throw in a non-running Honda CB-1! That’s close to $8k in vehicles right there. And you won’t have to worry about guilt-driving because you’ll be too busy fixing all this crap!

I just sold a 04 996 C4S, same exterior and interior colors with 53k miles for 28k to a dealer. Original ims, clutch, brakes, everything. 996's are appreciating fast. Look to bat/bring a trailer.com, sell no reserve and u will get pretty close to what ur asking g with all the work done. Just know when u send in the request to list with pictures that the pics u send are the ones they will use and they are very particular about the quality and background in the pics. Go find a picturesque field and send in at least 50 pictures.
This is what we'll show whenever you publish anything on Kinja:

That’s a very pretty car that rustles some jimmies. You don’t wanna trade for my 2017 Jag XE, do you?

Very cool offer, but the goal is to reduce the number of vehicles I currently have from 4 to 3.

I figured. I just thought I’d throw the offer out there since the cars happen to be even in value. Taking a 2017 XE with 55k that is still under warranty that I drive to work everyday and replacing it with a 20 year old 911 with 115k probably wouldn’t be the wise move, but I like the idea of it all.

No worries. Wasn’t trying to be an ass about it. Just a pedant. Those two words are easily misused, especially in the way you had. So now you know.
Deity knows I'm not perfect when writing either. So I absolutely am not trying to be superior about anything here.
