1984 Carerra with 14..yes 14 k miles
Discussion
I suppose the value of it to you depends on what you'll do with it.
A low mileage car can be as worn out mechanically due to lack of use etc as a high mileage one.
If you're going to 'use' it then you'll probably better off with a higher mileage one ot begin with. If you're just going to clean it and leave it in the garage then perhaps you could get a part time job as a valetter in a specialist porsche garage!
I think only you will know how much it's worth to you, but at a guess, £18K.

Certainly not worth over £20k - case in point - the last of the MGBs come up for sale with similar mileages from time to time and sell at £7k year on year.
The buyer faces a dilemma - use the car and put miles on it and so further devalue it or store it in that state. A 3.2 with such miles is never going to appreciate as much as a truly collectible car such as an RS with similar mileage.
Finally, a trader acqaintance of mine who specilises in 356s bought a very low mileage 356 some years ago from the US. It had been stored for years and when they stripped the engine down, the steel internals had rotted away along with the seals.
As a matter of interest, how much have you been offered it for?

A 1984 3.2 in RHD with average miles is going to be worth £12k in very good condition, so a £4k premium isn't over the top for what is going to be a lovely example of an impact bumper car. I presume it's rhd, a coupe and in a sensible colour combination?
If the oil pressure is good then there's every chance the engine is going to be good too.

I had a white 85 Cab (from memory) about 18 months ago with 11000 miles 2 owners and I gave 15.5K for it trade.
Hope that helps.

Seems quite generous. I'd have thought 13-14 would be nearer the mark. Doesn't ultra low mileage on old cars turn a few punters off?
Find another white cab - easy, just go to Essex!
LOL, well done on the sale tho'. I suppose you will always get some going for the ultra-low mileage cars, either because they can be collector's pieces or because you can rack up some miles with impunity. Just don't like the thought of those dry oil seals leaking
