If you’re ready to part with a beloved Porsche, the process may not be as painful as you think. Porsches have legendary status when it comes to resale value, so you can expect to attract interested buyers. The question is, will you get the price you want? These tips on what to do before selling your Porsche can help you increase your chances.

Kelley Blue Book has named Porsche the No. 1 luxury brand for resale value for the fourth year in a row. Part of its success is how well the supercar handles on and off the track. But preowned Porsches sell for another key reason: reliability. Historically, Porsche is right up there with Lexus for reliability, and far more iconic. Here’s how to prep yours for resale.

Put It in Writing

Make sure you have the title and service records handy before you try to sell your Porsche. Buyers will want to know how well you took care of this beauty. Take inventory of your car’s condition, features, and mileage, and be honest about any damage. Include as many details as you can in your ad. It’s OK to paint a romantic picture in an ad, as long as it’s not misleading.

Maximize Visuals

Photos can make or break an ad, and with a Porsche, you have plenty to work with. Wait for sunny weather and ask a friend with an eye for photography to get your car from all angles. Make sure you include the state of the interior and the view from the driver’s seat. It can’t hurt to conduct a short virtual tour of your car via video, either.

Skip the Hassle

You’re looking for one buyer who is willing to pay a reasonable price for your luxury car. The good news is that there are myriad ways to advertise your Porsche:

• Local dealers
• Social media including Facebook and Instagram
• Marketplaces like Facebook
• Classifieds like Craigslist
• Auction sites like eBay Motors
• Specialized sites like the Porsche Club of America

The bad news is that it’s a time-consuming process, and you may have to pay listing costs. Then you’ll have to field phone calls—or worse, wait around with no bites. If you’re not sure what to do before selling your Porsche, at least get a quote from a company like Nahas Motorcars that specializes in buying luxury cars.
