Selling my 2025 DH and the market is in the tank

[AZ_Ryan]

Most Porsche dealers have no 911s on their lots, they're all Cayennes, Macans and Taycans.



They are, and it's normal for most any car.

Unless it's a collectible model, if you drive a $125K Porsche off the lot and turn around and sell it as used ten minutes later you would be lucky to get $100K.

Were arent talking 125k porsches. Were talking 65-70k mustangs. And for the record, most people special order 911s. They dont sit on lots because that isn't their demographic.

I put over 10k miles on my Mach 1 and didn't loose more than 10k on it. The market stayed stong on those until the S650 came out. The DH hasn't been the same at all. The amount of people justifying is nuts. But hey, it's your money.

My son sells Porsche.

Want a 911 GT3RS? You must have purchased 3 cars from that dealership previously, or they will not sell you one. Not three Porsches ever from anybody, but just from that dealer. And the dealer is waiting and waiting on inventory because they have so many buyers that fit that requirement.

We can't really discuss Ford and Porsche in the same thread. It just is not the same thing.

That’s that particular dealer.

Not all Porsche dealers are like Ferrari, requiring you to purchase X new ones before you can order a new hot model.

The bottom line is to lose 10K - 15K in value after driving a new car in the $70K price range off the lot is more or less normal for the car industry - Dark Horse Mustang, BMW M Car or AMG Mercedes, if the reference to Porsches bothers you.

Yeah, um, that is what I said.

You can buy a GT3RS at another dealer if you are willing to cough up a six figure mark up, but his dealer will not do that.

many high end dealers save the best cars for their best customers.

The person who has bought multiple cars from you or even a single car is one you are trying to retain and allocating the best cars to those customers gets you repeat business.

The person off the street may be a one shot deal.

Why piss off a repeat customer

What does this have to do with my last reply or this discussion?

Exactly. I didn't bring up the Porsche thing.

Yes I have the same affliction.

*I'm glad I'm not the only one*

I wish I never started this thread - My God - stop already

My brother bought a 2025 Ford Bronco OuterBanks with Sasquatch. The car stickered for $62K, he just got offered $42K as he wants a manual transmission Badlands. I know its not a DH but I feel the used car market has flipped on its ear.

This is one of the reasons Porsche is financially in big trouble. Not to mention the pricing of Porsche today. It used to be you could get a 911S for around $25K more than a similarly equipped M3 today its almost double the cost.

Due to Covid causing havoc with manufacturing and having a multi year inversion between used and new car pricing.
People got used to a market anomaly over the last 5 years, we’re just normalizing.

yes, buy a 62k vehicle and it’s quickly worth 45k… go look at Mercedes etc…

Today on FOX News they said that the average cost of a new car is a bit over $50K vs. the average used car is a bit over $26K. That tells me that most people in the car market can't afford more than $26K. The dealer needs to devalue your almost new trade in to get to the correct price point. There are more people out there today who can afford $26K than those who can do a $50K vehicle and payments of near $1000/month.

My GT is an investment. The money I save in not changing every three or four years will be invested in holidays and stuff.

To add to the story here … was looking at replacing the wife’s Explorer with another Explorer… found a 2024 ST Line with 56k MSRP for sale with 10k miles on it for 35k at a dealer …. Figured they probably got maybe 26k or 27k on trade … so how much did they lose?? Car was only in service 18 months when we bought it …

My wife knows she thrashes her cars between the dogs … taking it hiking and her work parking lot so made her happy as she couldn’t stand the idea of spending so much on a new car

Just got a brand new maverick for 26k, thing is incredible, AWD 2.0 eco, great deals on leftover 25s
