CTS are probably struggling to get top-tier early 911s. In this market where a good car will sell itself - why engage a middleman?John Forcier

Does anyone know what a place like CTS charges for their services though? I suspect it's a big % of the proceeds.

The advantage of CTS and Ecurie (a part from contacts) would be contemporary knowledge of market prices. But most of us have a feel for the value of our cars and once again some research through Hagerty and others would get you close to the mark.
If you had a 80-100% early Porsche car to sell, a post on DDK, EarlyS, Pelican, Rennlist and facebook directing traffic to a temporary website dedicated to the car, would likely net you the attention of 99% of genuine buyers or agents within a week.
Sure there is some effort there, but the cost would be less than the consignment percentages on $100k plus cars. I'd guess it's somewhere between 5-10% ?
All this presumes you have a vested interest in the process and want the best dollars you can in your pocket. If you simply want it done and dusted then using someone like CTS or Ecurie is a no brainer.John Forcier
