Uber low mileage 964 C2 for sale
Discussion
I may be wrong but having previously used both back to back over a few years the switchgear and quality of plastics, materials etc feels a notch above in the 964 but that may just be an illusion who knows (i've never made a conscious effort to ever look it just feels that way). As others have said both cars were made at the zenith of a period where quality was very important. Just look at the way the Mercedes were made from that period especially the R107 SL, SEL and SEC. Current mainstream higher end cars are a bit of an embarrassment by comparison IMO. I know there was a massive price hike when the 964 C2 was released and Porsche claimed that 87% of the components of the car were completely different or re engineered - perhaps this was BS to justify the huge price hike. On the 964 oil leak issues as pointed out a fair few were caused by using the wrong oil!

Might be good - but, when selling a car, why do so many people struggle to take decent photographs http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/p...
'The car has an exceptionally low, genuine mileage of 58k and has been kept in amazing condition. Fully dry, never had any oil leaks'
If that's the case it'll be just about the first H reg 964 that doesn't have any leaks/weeps. Those of us with the early cars either live with the annoyance of the leaks or get the engine rebuilt and have the heads modified to the later style that came with gaskets. To state that it has no leaks is quite a claim! I'll bet removing the engine undertray might reveal a different story.

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

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?

They do if it has big reds. 17's won't fit! Don't be too precious about authenticity I think I would rather have a battered real RS and use as intended, than a mint replica... what do they go for now?
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

I don't disagree with much of what you say. I think the low miler garage queens have skewed the market so that everyone thinks their 964 is worth £40K+. Yet the ever increasing number in the classifieds indicates that they're not selling. Hence why I mentioned my own experience of pitching a well maintained, honest high miler well below the top asking prices had attracted little interest. So, with signs of the soggy winter ending I think it's time to bring it out of hibernation, orders some new track tyres and make some bookings. Do like this. Lovely to lazily cruise around country lanes. I wonder how much it is.
