The guy on ebay selling a 964 cab on 184k miles, described as a ‘bargain’ for £55k is in dream land! Looking at some of the nice cabs at dealers, £30k is more realistic IMHO. Not that I’d buy it!!

That cab has been for sale for probably two years or so. It worth £20k ish depending on amount of corrosion. There has been a white one on autotrader since last summer 80k odd miles. Was £28k and thenhe our price up to £32k. Which was strange. If it had sold at £28k. Why put price up.
Global recession and massive unemployment on the back of an existing g downturn in car prices as investors and speculators left is t going to help classic car prices. Auction results are generally a better indicator of what cars are worth. In saying that good low mileage 964 coupes that are very original or resorted to a high standard will maintain their values better. Most are still owned by enthusiasts who probably don’t need to sell so u likely to see market flooded with bargains.

Nice looking car at the price. As ever, would need a detailed inspection.

Just been looking at 964 / 930 prices in light of the current crisis and it does seem that many cars have not shifted for some time.

Where I can see a number plate, I've checked the MOT database and a number of cars have not been taxed for ages - does this effectively mean they've been on a dealer's book for that length of time? Or been sold from one dealer to another?

One particular low mileage 3.2 Supersport I've been looking at seems to have been on sale for ages. It recently came down in price a little, but still feels punchy.
964 and 930 are very different cars to drive and give in spades a completely different experience

I have a 964 C2 and G50 5-speed 930, would be hard pressed to choose just one as a favourite

The market seems to prefer Coupe, manual, 2wd (in the case of 964), low mileage, desirable colour combination, thorough history, first class condition (no rust), good spec, low(ish) owners.

Where prices will go, as we move into an uncertain economic slow down, is anyone’s guess.

I don't think manual 2wd 964's will ever be available in the teens again no matter how much the economy is hit. Just not enough to go round. Tippytronic targa different kettle of fish!

That's not a RS, it was discussed in 964RS circles back in January and reported to Done The Deal as a fake

I've not seen many good 964 C2 manual for sales for ages. 930 always plenty. 3.2 C SSE a rarer bird. i can't really see good ones coming down, most of the stuff for sale in classifieds very shiny but underneath rotten.

This is an interesting anomaly. I'm not a fan of the way a 930 drives but I love this one. Very quirky but looks stunning.

Agree that most 964s currently for sale look good from a afar, not sure what they will be like to drive.

I recently bought a 964C2 from Hairpin Company. Car is a a G reg, late 1989. The car had a total restoration by Tech9 in 2014. Engine rebuild to 964RS spec, reprofiled cams, bespoke ECU tune to 300bhp, RS flywheel and clutch, Bilstein PSS10s etc.
£40,000 spent with the right people makes the asking price of £65,000 more palatable.
Lesson is to buy someone else’s work, only if done by the right people

Lovely. That's an unusual colour especially for an early car. £40k is quite a bill, did that include bodywork and painting?

I think most of the money was spent on the engine & suspension as the car was in great condition prior to the rebuild.

Yes, the colour is unusual, it’s a non metallic dark blue with Oxblood interior. Was ordered new from Charles Follett, Mayfair.

Classic car buyers I’d imagine have these as long term investments (of sorts)... vs a modern GT buyer on finance. So in tough times, they don’t need to liquidate.

I suspect the cars go through phases of sale as they age

need work so sell cheap for someone else to spend the money.

Then - I’ll sell because the price being offered is high and I can make some money.

Now - there is no motivation to sell.

suspect many who buy the 964 or have them now, have invested in them and have no desire to swap for something else. Prices don’t rise crazy because of more modern substitutes. And the market might not be big enough either.

Lastly... I think the market for these aren’t growing... as in you’re not likely to ever want a 964 if you’re currently 25 years old? As that 25 year old ages, they may be more likely to want a 991 type car (st example - I can’t think like a 25 year old).

Thank you! The car sold within a day of being listed for sale. It’s a real sleeper car. The previous keeper decided to remove the mirrors and RS cup wheels, replaced them with D90 wheels and flag mirrors to enhance the sleeper look.
300bhp is more than adequate, sounds great too with Cargraphic cats and cup exhaust

Yes great cars, mine is very similar actually as I too like the sleeper look!
Worth every penny and huge fun. Enjoy.
