Interesting thread for me... I'm thinking of selling my RHD Black on Black Manual C2 and I guess these ads help me price it...I'm lucky as it's blessed with a bullet proof service history, engine rebuild at 90k and lots of tlc (and money!!) from me to make it good quality with original parts and cup wheels etc etc.... its done 122k but i still guess the £49.5k mark from the above ads. But will it keep going up?............

Regret in yrs to come is my biggest fear if I list it
I don't think anybody can say for certain, but the only reason I can foresee that would crash values is legislation. However, given the low number of 'classics' and the fact that most aren't used much, I don't see them as a target for the government or EU. The focus will be on new cars.

I am fairly confident that your 964 will at the very least hold and increase gently.

Black is a lovely colour for a 964. Above is the Hexagon car, cloud9

The Hexagon car had only done 18,000 miles and sold for £60k as a tiptronic. I do not see a big gap between RHD and LHD values as these cars are in strong demand throughout Europe. Rightly or wrongly mileage is a massive factor and at 122,000 miles if you want to sell your car rather than it sitting in the classified I'd say £35k is its money. Very nice buy for someone though with engine rebuild etc. In your shoes I'd put another 80,000 miles on it and enjoy it in the knowledge its virtually free motoring.

That black one in your first link looks absolutely stunning with cup wheels and mirrors and correct amber indicators.

I had the same thing, only midnight blue over blue, same as in sports seats, LHD, manual, factory LSD. Why oh why oh why did I sell it (for £20k)?

No garage was the answer. st and bugger.
Both lovely spec cars with factory limited slip diffs.

Did you buy as an investment? If yes it's always tricky as you will want to roll the money into another investment that you think will do better or same as the 964 going forward.

If it was not, and you are getting tired of it and want a change it is easy, just sell it and buy what you want!

If it goes up more in value after you sold it, so what? Just be glad it didn't cost you anything to own it, that in itself is massive. Regretting what could've been is one the most pointless things to spend your time on.

It's far to easy these days as a car/motor enthusiast to get caught up in the whole value thing, that's the curse of cars as appreciating assets!

I bought it as I love them, the investment car game is not for me, just luck that they seem to have gone up. I always hold the view cars are for using. I seem to get bored of cars 18 months into ownership irrelevant of what they are, which is annoying as i'm impulsive so normally act on this.

£35k seems a bit cheap to me. I know mileage is a factor but there are so few of these coupes and people love them esp good examples that are manual and not guards red etc etc. Maybe I put it up at high forties and just see what happens, i'm in no rush. Maybe the summer will change my mind also :-). Thanks for the input all

It all depends on the condition of all elements of the car. 122k miles is fine as far as I am concerned, but it reduces its value.

If its in very good condition, its probably £40-45k.

Indeed, I didn't buy mine as an investment and thought I would never part with it but nine years later I've decided it's time for a change so have just listed it for sale. However it's not 'uber low mileage' like the ones in this thread but that means it's also a lot cheaper. wink

Blimey, I always thought mine was worth mid-40's on a good day since it's been so messed about with but if that sells anywhere near to asking then I'll have to re-evaluate my insurance cover.

18s have no place on a 964.

I think I would rather have a battered real RS and use as intended, than a mint replica... what do they go for now?

I cant see anyone selling a battered one at 100k? Surely, best to throw 20-30k at it for a 200k sale?

This is what the likes of Malton are doing.

didn't 911V just move an amethyst one for £150k? Please tell me they haven't gone up another £50k while I've just been visiting the lavatory.

Not sure u'll have to ask the racers like Rance re 18s. Can't see u getting even a battered RS for less than £150k so JZM car seems decent value at least on the face of it.

They do if it has big reds. 17's won't fit! Don't be too precious about authenticity
The big red conversion works extremely well on the 964 as do many other upgrades. It's modern underpinnings allow truly wonderful opportunities without the need for Carlos fandango and his merry men

Forgot to mention I'm not sure an RS would see which way the JZM Rep went on track i.e. 320bhp 3.8 in a very light 1000-1200kg car with stiffened shell = rapid. Super RSR spec!

Even my mildly tuned C2 would outperform an RS on track. The white car will be quite a bit quicker.
