3.2 cab with exceptionally low mileage

[craigw]

guys, i am going to see a 1 owner, 13,000 miles 1986 car. what do you reckon it is worth, full main dealer history & immaculate. only downside for me is that its white with a blue hood.

Hi Craig, car sounds interesting,I think there is always someone for a very low milage car like this one. Colour is personal choice,I don't think it affects the value very much,is it circa 20k?

For what its worth when I've got enough cash for a 911 I want a GP White one ! My 944 is white.
The only draw back with a car like this is that (assuming its immaculate) you might be scared to use it and see it devalue

That it just such an astronomically low mileage - its coming up for 10 years old and its done 1300 miles/year?

I think its too low - unless you want to keep it in a garage and polish it.

I imagine the vendor will want a fortune and if you use it, you'll tarnish its perceived value.

All IMHO.

I think its cheap so cost not a problem

Sounds like you need to speak to a decent mechanic to see what consumables/seals etc deteriorate through lack of use. At least the paint, interior and roof should be in excellent condition.

Let us know how you get on.

Looking at the current market for 3.2's it could be £20K, will drop some if you put many miles on it.

20 years old

white with blue roof is a good combo on the old ones (im not gay)

yup, its having a full checkover today and is less than 20k, I really dont want white although white/blue is quite nice. I might just buy & sell it

Err, yeah. Numbers definitely my strong point.

So 650 miles a year - as Daz says, definitely got to look at what will simply have perished with that sort of (lack of) usage.

And re. the colour I think white looks great on these cars.

Craig,

If you do get the white one, don't forget to pick up the pastel blue jacket, chino's and some deck shoes....LOL!

So it's a cab. you're going for yeah? The 3.2 in PH classifieds, no good for you?

Spot on. Totally period for the car. Prefer the back Fuchs though, rather than when they've been painted matching white.
