From Passion to Profession
Karl’s unlikely background gives him a unique hunger for perfecting the Porsche retail experience as it should feel for customers. His broad range of service within the wider Porsche community has undoubtedly become a secret weapon in his mission to delight Porsche owners for over two decades.
And, as corny as it may sound, his guiding motto is simple: to help people with Porsche-related problems—whether buying, selling, sourcing, fixing, or even legal issues.
“If you have a Porsche problem, I’m here to help…”
Like many great origin stories, Karl’s begins with a young man chasing his dream car. With too little money to own and run a Porsche, his only option was to scrape together his savings to buy one—and then try to sell it for the same price a few months later.
“I could never have envisaged where buying that special little 911 would take me professionally…”
“…Nothing focuses you on becoming an expert quite like spending your own money on an asset. That was true for me as a broke young man buying my first 911—and it’s still true for our wealthiest clients today. I’ve never forgotten that feeling, and I want to ensure every customer feels reassured and enjoys total peace of mind when buying their Porsche from me.”
A Trusted Name in Porsche
Since those early days, Karl Meyer has become a highly respected figure in the Porsche community, renowned for his expertise in buying and selling Porsche cars worldwide.
With a corporate management background at Porsche, Karl brings insider knowledge and unmatched experience in understanding how Porsche themselves expect their customers to be treated.
“The training at Porsche was second to none… but the words that stuck with me most came from the lovely gentleman who once owned our Porsche Centre. He said, ‘Karl, this business became a success when I realised, back in the early ’80s, that we weren’t in the car business. We were in the care business.’”
Karl is the co-founder of theporschebuyer.com, a leading platform supporting both the official Porsche network and specialist dealers with sourcing Approved Porsches for stock.
He also regularly advises Official Porsche Centres (OPCs) and trusted independent specialists on pricing strategies and market trends.
As a contributing writer and market analyst for top Porsche publications, Karl shares expert insights into the Porsche car market and values. He remains an active member of Porsche owners’ clubs and enthusiast groups, maintaining a strong presence in the UK Porsche scene.
With over 20 years of experience sourcing, valuing, and selling Porsches—ranging from classic air-cooled models to modern electric cars and highly sensitive off-market halo models—Karl is a trusted name for anyone looking to buy or sell a Porsche.
His journey is a true example of passion turned profession.
