Elferspot continues its growth trajectory in Q1/2025

The positive development of international Porsche marketplace Elferspot continues in Q1/2025. The platform recorded significant growth, particularly in the areas of user count, the amount of private listings and vehicles marketed via Elferspot. In the increasingly international market for used and classic Porsche sports cars, one Porsche 911 model series in particular is growing in popularity.

35 per cent more users have 22 per cent more cars to choose from

Compared to the previous year’s first quarter, Elferspot recorded a 35 per cent increase in users. Visitors to the marketplace are spread across the entire globe. “In addition to Germany, Austria and Switzerland, we have gained significantly more users especially in the USA,” summarizes Elferspot founder Markus Klimesch.

Elferspot’s growth is also reflected in marketplace activities. “In the first quarter of 2025, 51 per cent more search agents were activated than in Q1/2024, which notify our users when suitable vehicle listings are published”, says marketplace specialist Lukas Berger. With over 22 per cent more vehicles than in the same quarter of the previous year, the significantly larger user base also has a correspondingly larger range of Porsche sports cars to choose from.

The marketplace operators are particularly pleased with the 30 percent increase in private listings. “It makes us proud that more and more private sellers are using our service. We are often praised for the high quality of our inquiries and our high global visibility”, adds Klimesch. “This is also underpinned by the increasing number of international dealers on the platform, for example from Canada or Australia”, says the Upper Austrian entrepreneur.

Porsche sports cars worth almost 90 million euros marketed via Elferspot in early 2025

Elferspot considers the marketing of cars worth almost 90 million euros in the first quarter to be a particular success. “After cars with a total value of 260 million euros were sold through a lead via Elferspot in 2024, we are already at 87.5 million euros after the first three months in 2025” says Klimesch, who is impressed. Despite many economic uncertainties, there does not appear to be a general slowdown in the Porsche market.

The pleasing fact that numerous Porsche sports cars continued to be sold via Elferspot despite the challenging economic environment and the recent significant fall in share prices highlights the sustained high demand for these vehicles. This underlines the successful positioning of Elferspot.

More users also mean more clicks on listings, one series stands out in particular

In 2024, Elferspot recorded a total of almost 22 million clicks on the platform’s listings. This was already more than 35 per cent higher than the previous year’s figure in 2023. “If the trend at the start of 2025 continues, we expect another 15 to 20 per cent more”, reports co-partner Lukas Berger. “We are very proud that we can reach so many people in our small niche”, adds Klimesch happily.

One Zuffenhausen model series in particular saw a sharp rise in interest in 2025. The second water-cooled 911, called Porsche 997, which was produced from 2004 to 2012, rose rapidly in users’ favor. “In 2023, 997 listings accounted for around 10.5 percent of all listing impressions. In 2025, the 997 took over the top position of the most frequently viewed model series for the first time with 12.17 percent of views”, says Lukas Berger.

According to Berger, this is mainly due to one factor. “Prices for early vehicles up to model year 2008, known as the 997.1, are currently among the cheapest within the whole Porsche 911 range. The later models called 997.2 have also already bottomed out in terms of price and are already becoming more expensive again,” says the expert.
