Hello everyone,
I just bought a new 997 and trading in the older
05 997s
Specs:
Arctic/Black (16,500 miles)
Manual Trans
Full leather interior
Sports Chrono Package
GPS
Sports Adaptive seats
Sport Shifter
Sports Exhaust
$2,000 built in Radar detector
Sports Wheels
Car in excellent condition of course.
They want to give me 64,000
What do you think?

 

That's a decent price...aim for 2k more off the car you're buying though...66k is a better price.

 

Sounds about right.

 

I'm selling mine for $4500 less than that. Take that and run with it.

 

All the money...but, how much would the tt cost if you handed them $$$? I was taught to always interject the trade at the very end of the negotiation after finalizing a cash price

 

I would take it, I just bought my 05 s in orlando, has all your options other than sport shifter and exhaust ( as far as i know ) but came with techart front, sides and spoiler, and i got it for 58k.

 

$64K?!! Thats a great number! Take it and run : )

"Chris FL" That was a great car you got. Awesome color combo and options. (I work there) : )

 

I got 67k for my 05 997S cab with 17k miles and almost the same options, except no adaptive seats. They also gave me 8k off the new car, sounds like you have a good trade in #.

 

Ok guys,
Being that this was my first Porsche, and work being so busy that I really have very little time to do the research, I just wanted to the dealer to take it off of my hands. He is willing to do the 64k.

For your info, I had no room at all to negotiate my 997TT Cab. I virtually had to beg with $1000 in hand for them to do the order (got it in less than 3 months from the date that I placed the order). They offered me their next "bucket" if I would buy a Cayenne Turbo also. So, I agreed. I got my 997TT Cab with PCCB's, Hard Top, Short shifter (all listed below) for 158,000. No negotiations on this. So, I guess he felt bad about this (ahh... right...) so he is giving me a deal on the trade (have yet to give him my 997s 2 weeks after taking delivery on the 997TT Cab).

But thanks so much for all your advice. It seems like the overwhelming majority say "997S for 64k! Sold to the Porsche Dealer!!!".

Will drive it there today...

 

A trade in for $64,000 is a great deal. I'd take the dealer's check and run.

 

Are you the guy with the black 911, the extremely loud one?

 

That's a great offer. Definitely take it if you're looking to trade/sell.

 

take that offer and run baby!

 

Edit --I read your second post and realize why they are giving you that 64K . They realize that a lowball trade would insult you enough to walk away from a deal where they are positioned to profit heavily --TWICE . They can do much better IMO.

The markup on that 997tt cab is significant . Since your car is well kept they will even profit off your trade by asking upper 60's and closing above that 64K .

 

sounds like a dual assraping to me...
