steve7 Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 My recently traded car Bought a year ago at 36,500 from OPC, one year later with a further 7,000 miles now up with OPC for 39,500: https://finder.porsche.com/gb/en-GB/details/porsche-boxster-s-preowned-6DQ5PP?dealership=2686&order=price_asc Looks like the market for 981's is still very strong 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess the beige will have a limited appeal - and folks want everything for nothing - PSE / PASM / Sport seats / paddles etc… Saying that I’m sure someone will come along and value the mileage / length of ownership / low owners / warranty aspect - great cars the 981S.

Drop the price by 2k for a faster sale. People go on holiday in August, then summer is over. Good luck. Edit - six weeks is probably not so bad, you might choose to wait a bit longer, but it tells you it's not competitively priced. I'm just thinking that for a fast sale it is a gamble to wait much longer, which would not be the same as if you had advertised it like this in March.

JurassicBGTS Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 That OPC car is a very optimistic piece of pricing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozzykim Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 I paid that for mine from a prestige dealer having been looking for nearly a year. Same mileage/year/reg '14 model. Sports steering wheel, extended leather, PDK, PSE, DAB, PASM. I think (personal preference only) that the lack of paddles, and interior colour, will put some people off at that price and I was specifically looking at grey or blue cars. Unless prices are rising for 981s I think it might be a bit high, though the extended warranty might help. No offence intended. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non taken, WBAC and motorway prices have dropped a bit over the last month. Only responded to OPs post with my experience of prices. I Am considering Motorways offer of nearly 31k hope for 32 and cancel the OPC warranty and get back circa £700 for that. So that is pushing 33k and no aggravation with a private sale. Equally I may keep for another year! Decisions decisions! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 (edited) Your car is lovely, but I unfortunately I think it is overpriced by a few £k for a private sale. I bought a similar vintage lovely example BS earlier this year as a private sale from @JurassicBGTS with 35k miles on it and with all the extras one could want, (PDK, 20" Carrera classic wheels and new tyres, PSE, PASM, Sports Chrono, Bose, Sports Plus seats, paddle steering wheel etc etc ) plus full OPC service history and 2yrs OPC warranty remaining and (arguably) in a more desirable colour combination of GT silver ⚪️ and Carrera red 🔴 extended leather interior for similar. I felt I paid strong money, but a fair price as it came with great provenance and the 2yr OPC warranty was a great reassurance / selling point. With the added bonus that @JurassicBGTS was a Gentleman to deal with 👍❤️ and Mrs @JurassicBGTSmade exceptionally grand bacon butties!! 😂👍❤️ Edited July 11, 2023 by moonshine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still haven't advertised mine, was going to do it a couple of weeks ago but as I can't find anything better without spending masses more than intended on top then I'm not even sure I'm going to bother now. One thing that I did pick up though, obviously private sale prices are always less than a dealer. But if it's got a transferrable Porsche warranty on it then to my mind that's a better proposition than the shoddy warranty booklets that most dealers sell to you for significant profit (it's not out the goodness of their heart or obligation). If I were looking to buy then that's how I'd see it anyway, and if I ever get around to doing an advert then it's something I'd mention. I probably missed the boat for this year's summer uptick as per @Menoporsche comment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozzykim Posted July 12, 2023 Report Share Posted July 12, 2023 @moospeed I agree, mine has the usual lack of interest dealer 6 month warranty, not worth a damn once they have your cash unless you're prepared to fight. An OPC warranty should be worth a premium if you're buying used privately. 👍 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codfanglers Posted July 12, 2023 Report Share Posted July 12, 2023 People have got used to strong prices and are still basking in the theoretical high value of their cars after the dealer's price-hiking frenzy a couple of years ago. They will continue to try and talk the market up and keep prices high but it won't stay that way for much longer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozzykim Posted July 16, 2023 Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 Nudged by this thread, I looked at 981 PDK prices on eBay and Auto Trader, and it looks to me that they've risen since i was looking a few months ago; summertime surge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, what did catch my eye was this one in the box underneath. I wouldn't want that particular car but I do love a funky colour... used to have a poster which I think was a 993 (a few decades ago so forgive me) in this colour. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/285361846140 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
