Folks with the changes to BIK tax next year I am looking to sell my Macan and take a company Tesla until the Taycans become available.

So a few quick questions:

Whens the best time to sell, as its one of the last low road tax cars it would be better to sell it before April
Apart from Autotrader and here where are the best places to advertise the car.
Tesla 3LR
Macan SD gone :-(
997 C4S gone :-(

If it’s a decent spec it will sell easily on Autotrader. When I was in the market back in June the well spec’d Cars were selling before I could even phone the seller, literally within minutes. If you are looking for the right price I don’t see any need to advertise anywhere else.

If you can manage without the car, the sooner you sell it, the more you’re likely to get.

For a hassle-free sale, you could ring around OPCs and/or top-end independents.

If you put in your reg number and start to create an advert in autotrader, it will suggest a price.
After that, supply and demand, perception if options value etc etc is all a bit crystal ball.
Don’t forget, you can always come down on the price; it’s never so easy to go up!

Not an answer but a question
Have you any vacancies at the business which provides Porsche's as company cars? :lol:

My company provide the option of a cash allowance, in place of a company car, so I use my cash allowance towards funding/running my Porsche! :)

I’ve never historically been able to make a company car work for me financially as the owner of my own business. A BEV could change that and I’m looking closely at how the numbers work although at the moment not too keen to part with my current ride
