Another lovely example of a 964 C2 if anyones looking for a good one. She looks fabulous subject to getting an inspection. Perfect Xmas present to yourself.

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...

If its a genuine original paint, original panel, good history car its v.attractively priced IMO. I believe it will be sold to the trade for full asking price and put up for £59,995 early in NY. I really hope a private buyer gets her and drive the wheels off the car.
You beat me to it. If it checks out that car is a steal IMHO. 964's will play catch-up price wise with 3.2's next year….9e 28 said:

Re; the paint: many 64's have had paintwork on the rear quarters due to the absence of an inner wing. Any potential buyers of 64's shouldn't worry too much if a car has had paint here - providing it checks out to have original rear quarter panels and is rust free. £50k for a flat red 964. Personally, you either have to be Porsche obsessed or decidely unimaginative to sink that kind of money into something neither special nor rare.
A good friend of mine recently bought an S1 Elise and an E30 M3 for under £50k combined, both of which i'd rate above the 964 as puristic drivers' cars.

Paint has never bothered me - so long as it's been done correctly, and not as the result of anything nasty.
Some sellers make a big thing about original paint, but if it has blemishes and stone chips, the first thing I would do is get it sorted by an accredited expert. It's not a 'blue chip' classic.

'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.

I felt that way until I drove a well sorted one. One of the very best driving experiences on the road I think I've ever had. Classic 911 shape and a platform that lends itself and responds beautifully to modern braking and chassis upgrades. I liked the car so much that I bought one. I'd personally take a lightly modded 964 over a GT4. It has the evolvement of an old car with the dynamics and potential performance of a new one.

A good E30 M3 is £80k-£100k with like for like condition 964 C2 at £50k. I'd personally put the 964 C2 a smidgen ahead of an M3. Both great cars but on road the 964 C2 far more exploitable with its torquey engine. A classic M3 is a bit breathless by modern standards even when thrashed. Love them both but if I had to pick one car it would be the 964 C2 without a second glance at the M3 and I love the original M3. however against a mint manual E46 M3 coupe I'd struggle to pick the 964 C2 at current values.A good friend of mine recently bought an S1 Elise and an E30 M3 for under £50k combined, both of which i'd rate above the 964 as puristic drivers' cars.
Equivalent condition M3 albeit evo run out model £110k

Have to agree. The 964 has aged well and is prettier now than when launched and seems to have gone through a major revision in its abilities (for some bizzare reason history seems to have been rewritten) compared to only 5 years ago.

Yet to me at least, on an unknown road and at speed it was the worse 911 I've driven. Not a great 911 IMO. Just my opinion mind.

At that price point my money would be in a 996 3.4. Again a far superior drive to a 3 series BMW.
I'd buy the early 996 myself if you could find a mint one. I've not seen an early ambers manual 996 C2 for sale in good condition for quite some time. Then again to take that one step further a 986 S is pretty unbeatable value at the moment and i did choose one over an E46 M3 back in 2002 after driving both back to back. There's still something very special about the engine in the E46 M3 though IMO 9e 28 said:
You can get into a good E46 for £15k. Try doing that with a 964. If you're on a budget E46 M3 hard to ignore IMO
Couldn't agree more..which is why I've just bought a mint low mileage E46 M3 for £15K! Simply a fantastic bargain USEABLE performance car. Different drive to my 964C2 but almost as much fun. Only neg is the brakes which is sortable for £1K. I've had it fully clear waxoyled (well Bilt Hamber actually) underneath so its good to go in all weathers!
Clearly prices are being dragged higher by the £60/70/80+K CSL (in the same way that 964RS dragged normal 964's up) and with the usual suspect dealers moving in on these (http://www.avantgardecars.co.uk/cars/bmw-m3-coupe-e46/) buy now or pay £20k+ next year (assuming entire market doesn't collapse!)
