He must have used the pic for reference only I wonder why he didn't use a nice photo for reference then? 25 k for a bare shell with no quarter panels....plus another $30k for engine + box. Ok, you're at 55k for a body frame + engine? Bit hard to test drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D2000 Posted 11December, 2018 Report Share Posted 11December, 2018 What is the deal with sellers putting up the price on their cars when they don’t sell? Is it just to give the low ballers a new starting figure? Been watching the Cayenne market - not much selling and a couple have been putting prices up rather than down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 11December, 2018 Report Share Posted 11December, 2018 I think its the sellers have been told to sell their cars by her indoors. They list it at price A, then when they get some interest they get scared that it will actually sell so they put the price up and say 'I'm trying to sell it darling, but it's a tough market at the moment. If you want a new kitchen with fancy benchtops/shoes/new wardrobes/Kia Carnival people mover, you're just going to have to wait, as I'm not giving it away' Or they're just idiots 😁 D2000, JonoF, sleazius and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typ9xx Posted 11December, 2018 Report Share Posted 11December, 2018 Standard dealer tactics. Drop the price in increments for a while to shake up some interest...to a price thats still over the market. Then, when it doesn't sell, they bump them up and do it all again hoping there's a new buyer out there looking.

Their reaction when you tell them the market is not strong enough to maintain that price...they berate you for this observation...then reduce the value two weeks later, rustles my jimmies. If you buy a car from these sort of dealers, I feel for you. p.s. I will not be mentioning names as I am sure they check out these forums.

Probably right. They way most of them now get serviced (ie not much and at non-Porsche/specialist workshops) is consistent with the cheapskate part! And no doubt they are all taking a big depreciation hit vs what they bought them for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow I don't think we're the target market for those dealers. Their target customer would be the ill-informed aspirant, who pays well over the odds tied in with a crappy finance deal to boot because it's the only way to get behind the wheel of a <insert make and model>.

That was quick.... I think for a car like the turbo s they will always find a buyer in the end at their asking prices as these cars are just too rare. It doesn't surprise me that it sold as quick as it did and I'm pretty sure it went for close to the asking price if not the asking price itself.
