Frank Posted 24June, 2020 Report Share Posted 24June, 2020 Thoughts please I am looking at buying my 1st venture into the big P and found a cool little low K one owner Boxster. My insurance found glass guide value at $13-15k, the dealer/stealer is wanting double that which seems fine as others currently on market dictate those prices. Any thoughts? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstone Posted 24June, 2020 Report Share Posted 24June, 2020 Ask your insurance company for an agreed value for what it costs to buy and see what they offer. GTP911 and Dave997S 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave997S Posted 24June, 2020 Report Share Posted 24June, 2020 Glass' Guide and Redbook valuations can be way off the true market selling price sometimes. I agree with @firstone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just went out to tender for prices and all had the same details. I tend to change insurance on all cars/property yearly or at least go out to tender as I find savings or bonus offers like steak knifes. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveLep Posted 26June, 2020 Report Share Posted 26June, 2020 I was concerned at what I paid for mine, but it was below ball park of what was being asked on Carsales for older cars with higher kms. Then getting insurance I went to their max agreed value. I could not see mySelf finding a better 987 for much less and it had a factory hardtop which for me was a huge bonus. Chances are a month after buying yours you will see a better deal, but thats life. I think insurance quotes I got would only cover up to $22000. And at the time I never saw a 987 as low as that. Not a low Km, tidy one anyway. Post Covid there may be some desperate souls out there in need of cash. But a dealers going to cost a few thousand more most likely.
