Stark9 Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 When I bought my 981 in 2016, I had 2 courtesy cars both Lava and separate reg’s with every option and bigger Hi Fi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zagamuffin Posted December 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 I can wrap the trims, fit an exhaust but the Burmester for free and all the other options is tempting.expensive hiding,I tuned the Bose in my 981s and it sounded famtastic…so this 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bandit_287 Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 I’ve driven a couple of 718’s, a 2.5GTS and a 2.0 base, both had PSE and it hardly changed the exhaust note at all, if the car has it great but I wouldn’t bother paying to retro fit it as it’s not half as fruity as on the flat 6. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenman Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 Yeh, Lava was the launch colour and a lot of the early cars would have been heavily specced by Porsche. I guess a few of these are now coming onto the market with expired deals or similar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, WBAC is saying a value of £33k for that vs a ticket price of £42k £9k difference seems like a lot... I get that dealers need to make a profit and there is a cost for a warranty... But I guess something like a £5k differential between trade in and asking price would be reasonable... £9k is pretty steep. It's also not just that orange car. Other cars are similar. E.g £8.5k differential... Okay that one has a 2 yrs OPC warranty, so that is worth say £2k. Are dealers online valuations lowballing the value of the cars and are the online valuations reflective of what people are getting for their cars on trade in and is the differential between selling value and buying cost really £9k?

McDonald Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 WBAC are freeloaders on the car market. They're not equivalent to a glass's guide. They feed the car auctions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sense this is the tide turning. Lower values now reflected in WBAC and other valuations, but not yet reflected in retail asking prices. Someone I know 'in the trade' who I saw briefly over Christmas said that CAP values have been coming down month-on-month since Oct/Nov (i.e. a reversal of the previous trend). I've been watching 2017/18 BMW G31 (5-Series Touring) prices. They are softening slightly (not as much as I'd like - yet....). Cheers, Baggers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They feed the car auctions. So what is the real differential between a trade value and retail ? ( Let's say excluding the warranty, which is say £1-2k of the difference? £4-5k?

( Let's say excluding the warranty, which is say £1-2k of the difference? £4-5k? There is no simple answer to your question. IIRC Glass's guide always showed three different prices. There was always a disparity between what trade would pay and their retail prices. Private sales were different again. Even that simplifies the market as prestige dealers command higher prices than the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Araf Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 2 years warranty and recovery, paint, service and then you're left with wiggle room for negotiations and a £5k profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
