Sourcing Porsche inventory off-market

The best Porsches rarely come from auctions or the trade-in lane. They come straight from owners who looked after them. Here is where off-market inventory comes from, why it is cleaner, and how licensed dealers get first shot at the cars 911 Buyers wholesales.

Why off-market cars are different

A car bought from its owner has one known history and no auction premium. You see the records and the owner's story instead of a lot of photos and a clock. You are also not bidding against every retail buyer and dealer in the country at once.

Where off-market cars come from

• Owner-direct buying

  Programs like 911 Buyers buy from owners every week, across the US, with enclosed pickup.

• Your own service lane and customer base

  Owners who service with you are the warmest source. Track their cars and ask before the car is listed.

• Other dealers' wholesale cars

  Cars that do not fit a store's retail mix go wholesale. Dealer-only auctions put those cars in front of dealers before the public.

• Brokers and collectors

  Relationships with people who know where specific cars are. Slow, but it finds the rare ones.

How 911 Buyers dealer access works

Porsches we buy and do not keep for retail at HBi Auto go to approved dealers first, before they are listed anywhere: in dealer-only timed auctions or at a Buy It Now price. Each car is listed with photos, VIN, miles, factory options and original MSRP. Approved dealers also get the weekly GT market update. See how the auctions work and dealer access.
