Just trying to find what is a realistic price for a very nice 964 Turbo with 60k, every mot (21 in total) and a nice file of history including top end rebuild 2000 miles ago ect..

Prices are all over the place and I want to sell at a fair, realistic price or put it in the auction with a reserve price that is again realistic.

The car was specked at Porsche Exclusive department in Reading, hence the colour, wheels, trim ect..

Craig,

I would contact Coys & silverstone auctions give them all the info you have on the car & let them give you a valuation,

My estimate on your car £65k- £75K Replace those wheels for origional ones in my opinion it will get you a higher price.
The wheels are subjective but they were part of the exclusive package as far as I know ?

Its exactly as I bought it and if the next owner wants to put Cups on it I'm sure he would get more back for the BBs, the wheels wouldn't or shouldn't put someone off but I get what you mean.

Love the colour, like the wheels too and they are the original factory spec so fine to leave in my view

Ruffled leather really is awful stuff though, why did Porsche ever offer it? Not too expensive to correct though I guess

Lovely car, why are you selling?
Thanks Adam,

The whole spec of the car is what someone else fancied at the time and must have paid a fortune for it, as you say any part of it is not undo able, trim, wheels ect.

The problem is they are not making these anymore so you have to buy the best you can and alter it if you can't live with the options chose by others 20+ years ago.

The guy I took it to for the top end rebuild who specialises in air cooled Porsches said its the nicest example he has ever seen,

I'm buying a property in Belgium near the circuit hence the sale.

If you want a quick sale put it up for £55k
I don't need a quick sale Rocco I want a fair price for a mint car, property purchase will take upto 4 month because of red tape situation in Belgium, and funds are available anyway.

Autumn/winter is not usually the best time to sell, on the other hand recent auction sold/unsold prices have not been so great. If not in a hurry then put in up for sale in Spring, mind one never knows what prices will be like next year!

As for pricing, most private sellers tend to price their cars on par with respected dealers which is crazy as they can't offer the same services, assurance, track record etc ..... If I see two exact cars, one at a respected dealer and the other at the hands of a privateer with only 5% price difference then I'd happy pay more and buy from dealer so you might want to price it at 6-10% below dealers. Also make sure its priced to sell, pistonheads is already full of cars that have been up for sale for months & months (both dealers & privateers) even after a price drop. Those that are good cars and priced right are normally gone within a week or two.
I agree with this and would do the same, I sold a Weismann MF4 GT last year on SOR and it worked out ok, I think the new owner proberly paid a lot more than 5% tho more like 20% over what I got and that's why I am not keen on going this route again, I don't mind anyone making a decent mark up or profit but 20% is excessive.

The other reason it works better selling through a dealer is if the buyer need finance which a privateer can't offer.

I am really looking for a cash buyer who wants a very nice turbo without having to pay over the odds for.

I liked that, what was it like to own?
It was a great car, went well and sounded awesome with the V8 Growl,, beautifully build, like a TVR built by Bently.

If I was to pick faults with it,it would be seats are very small across the back and tight if your over 13 stone, big off set on the pedals due to the width of the gearbox tunnel. 1st gear to low, that's it other than that.

Let me know when you decide on a price.

Why not ask a few of the usual suspects what they'd offer you as a straight cash sale rather than SOR? Then price accordingly.
Will do,,

I may give this a try, no harm in asking the dealers ?

Sorry, had my investors head on there. So it's a multi owner car with 60k plus miles with ruffled leather interior. £52,000 retail, £40,000 trade.
Don't get Rubystone to value your car laugh even with his "investors head on"

The buyer has requested privacy on the transaction, but lets just say we are both very happy.

Spoke to Slades to see what they would offer me for my 3.3t (used your ex car as a bargaining tool) Was surprised to find out that you car is on SOR and not sold as you said??
"Not sold as you said"

What a fool you are, I wast going to comment anymore about this but as you are calling me a liar I thought I get this off my chest,
When I put pictures of the car up you commented on the wheels not right for the car, yet when you bought your Turbo you went and put a set of silly 19" wheels on it and thought they looked great ?

Your car



The car is SOLD, and I got a lot more than you and others thought it was worth, so I'm happy wink

Not sure why Rocco being called fool? And for the record IMO those LMs look far better than the BBS you have on your old car. In fact his car looks like a minter from other pics I've seen of it. Yours doesn't to my eye so well done if it has sold for a lot of money - nice enough car mind but a 60k mile car will never be like a sub 30k mile car.
Then let me explain it, it was foolish to imply I was lying about selling the car, I have seen the car Rocco owns and its no better than the one I sold appart from the mileage so maybe Rocco will get 200k for is ?, the BBs look better IMO and as the car is sold couldn't really care anymore wink
