Qs06M5 · 28th August 2008, 16:22

I went to the local Porsche dealership the other evening to consider trading my beast in for a pre-owned 997 TT, but mentioned up front that I would need to get a reasonable trade-in-value to do a deal. They came back to me (which includes putting my car back to OEM) offering me $58K for my car; another dealership offered me $65K

My car is fully optioned purchased new back in November with 11K currently on the odometer. It has the SMG, space gray on black, full leather, etc... Additionally, I never take my car to the car wash; always hand washed and waxed at home so the paint still looks new and the car smells new on the inside.

They then proceeded to show me what our cars were going for at auction which ranged from $58K-$68. I am sure if I pushed them more they would offer me like around $63, but still that is total BS!!!

I don't want a TT that bad to stomach such a hit!
