Is it better to sell my 718 privately or to a buyer?
Private can bring a little more, but a sale to us is certain, fast and carries none of the risk.
The 718 market splits sharply between four-cylinder and six-cylinder cars, and private buyers know it. Expect hard negotiation on four-cylinder cars and strong competition for GTS 4.0, Spyder and GT4 models.
We price off current 718 sales, variant by variant, and give you a firm written number within 24 hours, whichever version you own.
What affects a 718's value?
Engine, gearbox, variant, kilometres and service history set the number.
The six-cylinder GTS 4.0, Spyder and GT4 command a clear premium over four-cylinder cars, and manual gearboxes add money on every variant. Low kilometres and a complete Porsche Centre service history sharpen the offer further.
On Boxster versions the roof must operate cleanly; on all 718s, documented track use is fine but must be disclosed.
How does selling a 718 to you work?
Four questions online, one phone call with a firm offer, then inspection, payment and collection at your place.
The valuation quiz takes about 60 seconds and shows an indicative range on screen. Within 24 hours we call once with a firm number based on recent 718 sales of your variant.
Accept, and we inspect at your home or work, settle any finance with your lender and pay you before the car is collected, anywhere in Australia.
What documents do I need?
Registration papers, service history, both keys and a payout letter if there is finance owing.
Invoices for brakes, tyres and scheduled services help us sharpen the offer. You do not need a roadworthy certificate when selling to a licensed trader.
If the car has modifications or track history, list them up front. Both are common on 718s and better disclosed early.
Do you buy 718s with finance owing?
Yes. We pay the lender directly and transfer the balance to you on the same day.
You provide the payout figure, we settle with the lender at collection and pay you the difference before the car leaves.
If the payout exceeds the offer we will say so plainly, and you can decide whether to bridge the gap or keep the car.
