MezgerMan Posted 29November, 2016 Report Share Posted 29November, 2016 @JohnA, you've clearly looked after that car very well. It looks spectacular. If I had the room for another car, I'd definitely be giving you a call - I don't have a mid-engined P-car yet! #GLWS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnA Posted 21February, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 21February, 2017 cant believe i havent had a single enquiry on this car, even on carsales, not even from the low ballers anyways, as i dont drive it anymore apart from weekends when im not working, i figure i wont be replacing it with another p car, instead will trade it in for a lotus and use it a a track car, as i gather it will be a hell of a lot cheaper to maintain, service and parts.So if anyone is even remotely interested in this car let me know before i do trade it in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandy468 Posted 21February, 2017 Report Share Posted 21February, 2017 Hey John just had a quick look on carsales and I think IMO that high 70's should get a couple of calls and sale price should end up around $70 - $75. A nice 981 with similar fruit on there that might go for around 80k and I remember a Cayman black edition (same year??) sitting there for a little while at high 70's (I think...) . Lots of competition amongst the boxsters with so many available and so many variables and prices, from 07-08 (3.4 mans) and then 09-12 (Mans and PDK) and a few 13-15's for 10 to 20k more than yours. Yes it's a limited edition, and being "all black features" means a more limited market as well, but not old enough for that limited edition feature to kick in too much IMO ... Don't go the trade route mate you'll end up getting 60K Stick to your guns and really if it's been on there in full feature for a month and a bit, it's really just the price holding back a sale.

Apogee Posted 1March, 2017 Report Share Posted 1March, 2017 thanks guys, yes she sure is a beauty and hasnt given me one little bit of trouble.Wont be too upset if it doesnt sell to be honest, just thinking a new model may be niceI just traded in my 08 Black Boxster S and my GTI for an Audi SQ5. Picking her up tomorrow. I had a few bites on carsales with one going to PPI but I suspect the buyer was trying to pull a fast one (i.e. get it at a lower price) because his mechanic (whom asked me to take the car to for a PPI) said that the car didn't seem to have had a major service (and that he didn't like that). The fact is it had been done, by the dealership I bought it from, prior to purchase and I had also changed the plugs, rotors and pads, new tyres and battery in the last 2 years of ownership. The last two services were with Porsche South Sydney and they didn't pick any problems with it and neither did Autohaus Hamilton when I brought it into them for the PPI. My pricing wasn't high either, it was actually priced lower than a lot ones with higher mileage or older cars spec'd the same. So I haven't had a good selling experience with Carsales yet.

So I haven't had a good selling experience with Carsales yet. out of all the cars i have sold, car sales was only useful for one, my old 03 WRX.With this car, nothing at all, not even a question asked will be pulling it from there soonish and start visiting some dealers to see what i can get as a trade in. If the change over price doesnt suit, i'll simply keep the black edition. Just a shame that it doesnt get driven as much anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caymans seem sell quite easily. It must be the hair dresser stigma which means most Aussie guys won't even consider them, which is a pity cause I feel that they are more involving and visceral to drive compared to the Cayman.

JohnA Posted 6March, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 6March, 2017 went to a few dealers now, and trade in values arent the greatest, but one was acceptable so may be taking him up on the offer.Going to see a couple more dealers today and make my final call.

911sies Posted 6March, 2017 Report Share Posted 6March, 2017 went to a few dealers now, and trade in values arent the greatest, but one was acceptable so may be taking him up on the offer.Going to see a couple more dealers today and make my final call. Good luck, and make sure they know what they're getting, it's a beautiful example. My Cayman sold within the first week that I put it up for sale. It was truly one of the best examples out there, but I undercut people with more kms and less dollars spent. That did not feel right, but it got the interest up and inspired the bloke that bought to get his skates on and make sure he was the new owner.It also drastically reduced the margin for bargaining, as I could point to the other cars, and simply tell any interested people to go check them out first then make an offer. The other "rival" sellers at the time (I sold 4 weeks ago) still have their cars for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted 6March, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 6March, 2017 Lowering the price to be under rivals was going to be my next step but thought I'd check out the dealers.not many 2011's up for sale at the moment thoughif someone wanted to throw me an offer before it went to them will happily consider it.
