991 to 992 - PX with OPC or sell to WBAC?
Discussion
I've got an April allocation for a new Turbo S Cab to replace my 991.2 Turbo S Cab ('16 delivered, 15k miles, well optioned). Which makes more financial sense - taking an offer on the 991 from my dealer when the new car arrives, or selling to WBAC? Is WBAC a fuss-free experience?

Sell privately.
I got over £20k more by doing it that way with my 991.2 GT3 compared to what WBAC offered me.
+1 The usual WBAC, Wizzle, Motorway and other platforms are all convenience and low ball pricing.I got over £20k more by doing it that way with my 991.2 GT3 compared to what WBAC offered me.
The way the market is I'd go private, and expect a call from a group buyer (Sytner, Group1 etc - they are desperate for stock atm). FWIW I've just done that and got 10% more than WBAC offered. An easy transaction, money has cleared car being collected tomorrow.
If you aren't happy trying a private sale, try WBAC and Cazoo. From my recent experience, Cazoo is offering significantly more than WBAC so my money is there for an easy sale. Take a good set of pics and email them over to the group buyers (e.g., Sytner etc), I'd be surprised if they wouldn't easily beat Cazoo etc. - that's what I did earlier this year. They are falling over each other to buy stock right now, especially clean and easy to sell stuff.
I recently sold to my OPC, but did use WBAC as a bit of a bargaining tool. As I wanted to leave a deposit for a potential ‘22 / ‘23 model, for the sake of just over £1k, I let it go to my OPC. Was a 2019 911 C2S.
They paid a fair price and they’ll achieve a reasonable spread I would have thought, probably not the £10k I’ve heard rumoured on here, but stock is hard to come by.

A friend sold his 2 yr old 992 back to the supplying OPC about 2 months ago after an interesting development where another OPC outbid & effectively offered to halve their normal margin given the lack of used 911s. The supplying OPC was left in the position where they had to match the bid otherwise they could lose a long standing customer who had a deposit down for another 992 BTW.
The supplying dealer ended up listing the car at more than he had paid for it new & it still sold within a couple of weeks.
