Hi
6 months ago I bought an 03 Porsche 911 (996) 4S Tiptronic from a Porsche dealer for £58k. I've done 10,000 miles bringing it up to a total of 37k miles.
Last weekend I went in to a BMW dealer to look at an M3 because I'm doing many more miles than I ever expected due to work. They looked at my Porsche and took it for a drive and said it was in amazing condition and probably wouldn't need any prep work on it. They then called 3 Porsche dealers asking for a trade price - all figures came in at £40-45k. The car has most extras on the options list and is in great condition.
Should I have expected this or am I right to feel a little stung? I was expecting to get around £50k from a dealer (and maybe ~£52k private) after only 6 months?
