C63 Used Car Market Cooling Off?

A few months ago, very low mileage C63s cars were going for several thousand dollars over MSRP. A friend of mine was looking for one, so I found this 2021 C63s with only 19 miles on the clock going for just $4k over MSRP. That's less mileage than I had on mine when I took delivery of it last August. It was still available as of last Friday but I checked again this morning and unfortunately it had sold. He was ready to make the trip to Austin to pick it up. However, I've seen other low mileage cars going for thousands less than what dealers were asking for similar cars not too long ago.

It might be a good time to buy if you're still in the market for a FL C63 as prices seemed to have backed off their highs and the selection will only continue to dwindle.

If he wants a convertible mine is still for sale at Porsche North Houston. They've dropped the price a few times. Great car fully ceramic coated clear bra up front. I flashed it back to stock from a stage 1 tune but still have the handheld.

Thanks for the lead! Your car looks bad ***, but unfortunately he’s only in the market for a FL coupe.

I test drove my first C63s at Porsche North Houston last summer. It was a 2018 PFL diamond white coupe in mint condition at a very fair price. I was close to buying it but then decided to go with a brand new FL instead. That was the first and only dealership who didn’t ask me for ID or sign some sort of liability waiver. I got there, my sales rep handed me the keys and rode with me in the beast for a long test drive up and down I-45. Really good people to deal with there!

Prices do seem to be stabilizing, will they go down to pre-covid? Probably not, but prices are lowering.

Yeah good to see the used car market starting to cool off a bit. What doesn't seem to cool off are things like Tint, PPF, and Chrome delete jobs, businesses near me are charging some unbelievable figures for them. Heck, unrelated to cars, but even my landscaper raised their yard maintenance service by 7x, claiming everything doubled lately LOL.

HI all,

I know this seems mainly a US forum but I'm in the UK and have been lurking for a while as I'm waiting to get into a PFL C63S saloon once the right spec car comes up. I've been very closely following the market and yes I agree it seems to be cooling alot now, it's somewhat inevitable really.
Over here there are alot of grey clouds over the economy, the printing of money during covid has led to 40 year high inflation which in-turn results in higher interest, that with energy prices going up hugely (2-3x the cost and set for more) its certainly putting a big squeeze on peoples wallets. This has dented the market since the turn of the year and now cars aren't selling as quickly and prices starting to drop, including CAP prices at auction. The only thing that seems to be holding up these inflated prices is the ongoing supply issue of new cars, but that will get resolved slowly over time as its already improving.

Its very frustrating as I feel I've already been very patiently waiting after mentally comitting to getting one a while back but not wanting to pay these inflated prices and as Im trading up by some margin it makes sense to wait for the drop. I'd be gutted to not get one for summer too as it likely won't be as useable in the winter with 500hp and RWD.

Great forum by the way, really enjoyed reading some of the posts and learning etc.
