What's reasonable asking price?

[rjdoc74]

Hey guys, I have a beautiful 2023 CT4 (wives' car) and I will be selling soon. It's basic speck. Its wrapped in Xpel Stealth and has no damage of any kind. Charges to 270+ miles at 100%. 21,000 miles on the clock. What would be a reasonable asking price? I am in OC, CA. Thanks.

CarMax said offered me $63000

I’d say take it…

If that offer is for real, then take it.
(But if you take it in for the actual acquisition and suddenly it drops by ~$10k...)
Although post it for private sale briefly on free sites, like here and -- well, probably just here, although maybe also some other sites that don't take much effort, time, or commission.

Otherwise, based on this recent BaT sale:

... doesn't look like you can get more anywhere else.

But that's just one individual Porsche dealership, right?
And that's about $48.6k USD, right?

I guess many people on here are not from US and not familiar with Carmax. Carmax is a huge company, a used car seller, which is very reputable. Their offer is good for a certain period of time and do not change a drop off. And no, this isn’t US dollars.

Take that. You may get that private party or slightly more but it’s going to take some time.

I was referencing the differential that can arise between what is automatically generated at first on-line versus what is actually offered. I've found those initial on-line estimates to be more like teasers given what the actual offer ends up being.
But if that $63k really is a real offer, then, yeah, really should take it (for real!).

carmax does not generate online estimate. You physically have to take the car in, it gets inspected in an offer is put forward. I appreciate your comments.

Maybe I'm mixing up Carmax with its competitors, but I have a spreadsheet for a prior car sale that included a Carmax initial estimate.
I also entered by 4CT VIN out of curiosity now and reached this option, which sure seems to be leading to an on-line estimate:
****
We need more info on your car
Sometimes, we need to bring in our expert appraisers to give you the best offer possible
Choose how to proceed
Take a few photos
We'll guide you through a quick series of photos to help us appraise your car

This also provides them with some wiggle room:
https://www.carmax.com/faq/selling-a-car/is-the-online-offer-a-real-offer-or-an-estimate
Is the online offer a real offer or an estimate?
We provide real offers, both online and in-store, and they are valid for 7 days. If you have an online offer to redeem, bring it to any CarMax store. Once we verify that your car's condition, use, and history matches the information you provided about your car, you'll leave with payment in hand. Some offers are adjusted after the verification process. We only adjust online offers if a car's condition, use, or history differs from the information we received.

Hi again Jonathan, I did bring the car in and I have an offer in hand. Based on yours and multiple other responses, looks like I am getting a good deal. That was the whole point of me starting this thread. Again, I appreciate your responses.

 

[Jonathan S.]

^ Ah, okay, in that case, yes, that really is an offer, and sure sounds like a good one at that, especially given the lack of hassle! (Other than dealing with annoying posts by me, hah!)

yes correct. UK price. UK is flooded by Taycan…
