I appreciate that it is an age old problem, but with new routes to market coming online I suspect things have improved.

I'd suggest probably the way to get the best price for you with the least hassle.

I've now bought another and sold 2 cars to him, recommended him to others and never been disappointed.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I may be moving on my 911. It has about 18 months Porsche warranty on it.
I don’t want to get robbed trading it in. But nor do I want to spend time entertaining time wasters and the nosey.
What is the way forward? Motorway? Collecting Cars? Give it to my local OPC to sell on commission?
I think the warranty makes it particularly attractive and that will be lost if I sell it to trade.
I think I get a free advert on PH, but the last one was not productive.
Thoughts chaps? I appreciate that it is an age old problem, but with new routes to market coming online I suspect things have improved.
Assuming you have the Porsche extended insurance warranty, rather than the original 3 year factory one, provided you haven't made a claim on it you can cancel it mid-term for a partial refund. I did this when I sold mine earlier this year.

Interesting thanks.

This and sell to whoever gives you the highest price in the shortest time - motorway/wbac etc..
Speak to Tom at 911 Virgin - they are always keen to buy good stock and I bought my 997 GTS from him a few years ago. I've now bought another and sold 2 cars to him, recommended him to others and never been disappointed. He's a very straight talking and totally trustworthy guy.
Give him a call - pass on my regards.

Dare we ask what model / age and asking price ?
It's a 997 GTS PDK of 2011 as most were. A price might make this an advert!
In the current market, it sounds like the kind of car that dealerships would be fighting over to have in inventory

Not Tom, but I gave 911V a call this afternoon. They quoted quite a fair number, but said I may get more elsewhere.
Stick it on collecting cars, buyer will only pay £3k on top of the price you get. I'd suggest probably the way to get the best price for you with the least hassle.
