Porsche 964 price ?

[malcolm-coqci]

On the subject of buying a 911 blind, I’ve done it twice ( 993 c4 and then 993 c2) both from 911V
This was on the basis that I trusted what I was being told by someone who knows far more than I did/do.
Not regretted it on either occasion but wouldn’t dream of doing it without that safety net

[GTSJOE]

Yes, agree that 911V are true to their word. Only take on cars that they are happy to put their name to. Worth a lot in today’s market.
Bought a v cool 993C2S from Tom a few years ago, fantastic car.

[IMI A]

Bought and sold a few cars now from 911v down the phone. Always as good their word but TBH I have never picked out anything like an oil leak they haven't noticed so I prefer to just let them check a 911 out even if its not one of their own stock I'm buying.

Back on 964 C2. I've looked in the classifieds just now. The sort of condition 964 C2 I'd like to buy (a cab) is £100,000

I think most ‘classified’ prices are still ‘pre-Covid-19’.
I’d take them with a pinch of salt.
Sellers may be trying to sit tight, but they will know that if/when the proverbial hits the fan, the market will freeze.

How many others 9k mile 964 c2 are there? Hexagon will never move on price imo I know them. The response will be find another. All they need is one customer looking for a collector quality 964.

And then what would they do with it. Park it up in a lovely heated garage and just go and stare at it frightened to put mileage on it I suppose.
What a waste.

I'd just buy a nice Ferrari 430 and use the change to actually drive and enjoy it**

That just comes down to which flavour of classic you'd like. I'd love to try an old Ferrari now Ive had a few old Porsches. Maybe a 550m. I can see someone like me buying that Hexagon 964 C2 cab FWIW as bit of nostalgia and using it. I've secretly had my eye on a 964 C4 cab for a while in then hope the vendor sees sense and sells her to me for tuppence thats all she's worth isn't it. I still don't own a C4 cab!

[Koln-RS]

Cabs, Targas, Tips, C4s, generally less desirable than C2 Man Coupes.

However, I can see the attraction of roof down fun in a manual C2 Cab - but not at that price.

I’m sure, with good research, there will be some really nice original Cabs around with less than 50k mls, in private ownership, with deals to be done at half that price, that can be used and enjoyed with less financial risk.

[IMI A]

Yep I buy to drive. I ended up with what I thought were two usable air cooled coupes in 2012/13 but by 2013/14 they had doubled in value. By 2015/16 I sold took the profit and ordered a new turbo s cab on behalf of SWMBO.

Even if not buying to drive controversial maybe but even today I'd encourage close friends with say a spare £30k-£100k of savings to buy a nice time warp RHD UK supplied 964 C2 coupe, 997 GTS coupe, RHD 550 Maranello etc as safe place not to at least lose any money. I'd rather have my savings in a classic desirable 911 or Ferrari than in a UK bank even today. In fact more so today watching banks/govt struggle to keep an even keel.

Yes, just playing Devils Advocate. I would take an old Porsche over an old Ferrari because of the engine out £££ with old Ferrari. The 430 isn't like that but is still of that slightly different car generation compared to today. An optioned up one was what £140k or more new?

Anyway. I'm not buying either as can't really afford the running costs but it really does put into perspective what £60-80k buys....and it's likely to improve.

Harry Metcalfe ran a 550 Maranello as a dd. If he had not had power train warranty his eye watering running costs would have been even more crazy. I hear the 430 is very reliable other than worn balljoints/ cracked manifolds? I think the coupe is a really striking car too. If I had a spare 60-80k doing nothing and a low manual 430 coupe or spyder appears I mean a really really good one I'd happily buy it if looking for a classic Ferrari. Very nice car. Same with 360 and 355 absolutely love them. Not cool enough to drive one. Jeez I've gone from wanting a 550m to also wanting a 430360355 coupe. No engine out on 430

Enjoyed this. Go and buy one!

I couldn’t ever really get into Ferrari’s. Maybe it’s because I spent a long time racing against them and never really saw a fast one. Seemed a bit all show no go. Happy to be corrected though

[IMI A]

Saw a beautiful 575 bid up to £55k yesterday on collecting cars. I'd love to run a 550m with a big v12. Gentleman cruiser

IMI, thank you for the article on my 964, nice to see the journalist enjoying the car as much as I have. I am also amazed at how well set up the car is, huge amounts of torque and great feel through the bends courtesy of the PSS10 set up, 300bhp..
Wouldn’t change a thing about the car👌

They certainly are still pretty quick, my Red one has a Redtek built engine with cup cams etc Kw v3 club sport, and all the other usual mods. On track it’s fantastic.

Phil/Tech 9 used to race them and he has forgotten more about setting these 964s up well than most people. Your 964 is right up there with the very best and is a very well known car by Porsche nuts. We need to get them out for a track day after this lock down is relaxed

Any more details on your steering wheel? Not sure I’ve seen one like that, and it looks great!
