I'm starting to realize that we should sell our DBS. We're just not driving it as much as we thought we would, and I could use the space.

I'm seeking suggestions as to how I can arrive at an asking price. I've tried online sources (KBB, and the like), but their no help because of insufficient data.

I looked what others are asking on cars.com and autotrader, but prices vary as much as 25-50%!

I've reached out to the dealer where I purchased it but no response (they're out of town).

What resources have forum members used to establish a price?

 

I haven't found NADA, KBB, etc., very helpful, either. I've found my best sense of the market - buying OR selling - comes from the "completed listings" feature on eBay. You can search for a specific model and see what's sold and for how much, and what hasn't. A lot of dealers list there, so it's not just owners. (I'm not suggesting that you list there, simply that you use it for market intelligence).
I've often wondered if the Hemmings listings generate much business. The cars there often seem to have a significant price premium over the more mainstream classified sites, and while there's a good chance that a car listed there might belong to a hobbyist who really cared for it, there's still no guarantee.

 

Great suggestion, I'll give it a try.

 

You know I scope out ebay, and only a tiny sliver of AMs listed actually sell. I've sold lots of cars and bikes on ebay over the years. If you price agressively you will sell it, and quickly, but if you want to take more time and sell other ways you'll get more money. Just depends on how much time you want to spend and how much you want to get.

 

I've got lots of time.

 

Use "Autotraderdotcom" as well. Search as well as list/sell.

 

As someone who expects to be in the buyers market next year I'm also interested. The only benchmark I've seen in the used dealer pricing. Wonder what their mark up is?

 

Often you can get estimated values from insurance companies. They will look at recent sales in the area, predicted depreciations, etc. I did this when I bought my 996 and again before I sold it through USAA. Their value was more than what I had planned to list for and it sold for the price I asked in less than a week.

 

Send me details on car, mileage and options and I can give you a ball park of what your expectations should be.

 

2010 DBS, Hammerhead Silver/black leather. Automatic. Rear seat. 11k miles. 1.5 years full warrantee left.

 

Sounds sweet. Wish I were in the market now!

 

Sent you PM, hope that helps and good luck

 

Thanks

 

Oh come on guys..u just gonna leave us all hanging here in suspense?

What's it worth?

 

When I was shopping for my Vantage, one resource I found was www.cargraph.com.

It shows historical prices for cars - has lots of makes and models, including 111 DBS.

Why is this a good resource? Because while you can look at current prices on Autotrader.com or other car listing sites, you usually can't see what a car was listed for after it sells. The one exception is ebay, where you can see completed listings, but as was mentioned earlier in the thread, ebay is only a fraction of the listings out there. For rare cars like ours, that limited subset was just not enough for me to feel good especially since price/ value can vary wildly based on condition/mileage/ geography, etc. Additionally, it shows everything in a nice neat table so it is easy to pop into excel, get averages, or do whatever kind of analysis you would like.

Check it out and if you have any questions, the guy Daniel that runs the site is great. Hopefully this is helpful!

Here is the listing for the DBS:
