HELPING YOU SELL YOU PORSCHE

If you sell your Porsche privately youmay getmore for it than by part-exchanging it. But if you go the private route, youmust present the car in the best possible light, and we suggest stealing a few tips fromdealers, as summarised by car dealer consultant Cooper Solutions.

When listing on, for example Auto Trader or ebay, CS says honesty is the best policy: accurately list all the details such as mileage and options, themore information the better, but don’t waffle. If there’s damage, mention it – bidders won’t be deterred byminor scratches. Wash the car and remove everything fromit, and include a good, enticing photo gallery, with at least 10 images – and all in focus.

Carefully consider the reserve if you want to include one, avoiding setting it too high. And put in a low starting bid – this definitely attracts early bidders and watchers, thus creating the impression that your car is in demand. Following all this advice could boost the price you achieve.
