Sell your Porsche – from the air-cooled 911 to the Taycan

According to Porsche Schweiz, it is transferable in a private sale and in a sale to a Porsche Centre. The warranty covers all vehicle components and pays labor and material costs up to the current value, without a deductible. Excluded are wear and age-related changes, for example to the brakes, tires, clutch or batteries. Legally, it is an insurance policy of Zürich Versicherungs-Gesellschaft AG, in cooperation with Porsche Financial Services. If such a warranty is running, tell us its term and end date.

Porsche delivers every new vehicle with an electrified drive with a worldwide warranty on the high-voltage battery: eight years or 160’000 kilometers, whichever comes first. For fully electric models such as the Taycan, Porsche also guarantees a residual capacity of 80 percent for up to three years or 60’000 kilometers, and after that of at least 70 percent until the end of the battery warranty. For older Taycans, the conditions may differ; the documents for your car are decisive. Tell us the first registration and mileage. More on this in the article Selling an electric car.

Everything that was not fitted at the factory, from the exhaust system, wheels and suspension to performance upgrades. Under Art. 34 VTS, the registered keeper must report some modifications to the road traffic office, after which the car is re-inspected: for example exhaust systems or wheels not approved for the type, a different gearbox or axle ratio, and interventions that change exhaust or noise emissions. Tell us whether the modification is entered in the vehicle registration document, and have any original parts you still have ready for the handover.

Yes, of any model year. Porsche Classic looks after all models that have not been built for at least ten years, from the 356 through the 914, 924, 928, 944 and 968 to the first Cayenne, and takes care of the spare parts for them. For a classic, describe restorations, overhauls and replaced parts, and send photos of the underbody and engine compartment. If your Porsche has veteran status, say so; the page Sell an old car explains what the status means.

Yes, we buy it in any case. Tell us the country of first registration and the date on which it was registered in Switzerland. A Porsche Approved warranty applies worldwide and can be redeemed at any Porsche Centre. For a classic, the Technical Certificate from Porsche Classic also records the original place of delivery. It’s best to send us any documents from abroad, such as service records or invoices, right away.

Yes, if the lease is settled in the process. Until then, the car belongs to the leasing company, even though you drive it. Ask it for the settlement amount as of the planned date of sale and send us the amount with your request. Our guide Sell a leased car explains how the settlement and purchase price are offset and which documents the company needs.
