To get top dollar for your 2020 Porsche 911, follow factory service, keep it stock, fix small flaws, and present complete records. These steps often add $3,000 to $15,000 to your sale or trade. Well-kept 911s commonly retain 75 to 85 percent of value after five years.
Documentation moves price and speed. Comparable 911s with full dealer or specialist records and no warning lights often bring $10,000 to $20,000 more than neglected cars. Mileage matters too. High-mile cars can lose value 10 to 15 percent faster than low-mile cars. Stock cars sell easier. Unmodified examples are simpler to finance and inspect, which helps price and buyer confidence.

Action steps
- Follow factory maintenance: Service every 10,000 miles or once a year with OEM parts. Save every invoice and show the stamped book or digital history.
- Manage miles: Target 8,000 to 10,000 miles per year. Avoid a big road trip right before listing.
- Stay stock: Use factory wheels, exhaust, and suspension. If you added mods, return to stock and include the original parts in the sale.
- Fix visible flaws: Repair curb rash, door dings, and windshield chips. Replace worn mats, key fobs, and weak batteries. Small fixes cut buyer doubt.
- Tires sell cars: Install four matching Porsche N-spec tires with recent date codes. Mismatched or old rubber can trigger inspection flags and price cuts.
- Detail the car: Clay, polish, and seal the paint. Deep clean the leather and lightly tidy the engine bay. Clean cars photograph better and sell faster.
- Prep the listing: Shoot 25 to 40 clear photos, including interior, underbody edges, and trunk. Add a cold start and walk-around video. Show service records, window sticker, and two keys.
- Price and timing: Study comps on dealer sites and enthusiast classifieds. Listing in spring can add $1,000 to $2,000 versus winter in many markets.
Notes on spec: You cannot change color or factory options, but highlight sought-after items. Sport Chrono, PASM, PCCB, front axle lift, and premium audio can draw more buyers.
