itsujack Posted 7August, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 7August, 2015 $140k for a 964, get real.It's getting up there, a price probably not seen since these cars were 3-5 years old, but if it's an immaculate original showroom example it's not unrealistic, scarcity drives a lot of the value equation... Unless I am mistaken and there has been some movement in the last 24 hrs, the silver Carrera at AHH, the orange 74 at AHH , the beige Carrera with 300,000 on carsales and the burgundy Carrera at CTS being the four notable cars trying to push values even more into the obscene all have failed to sell and clear cash. I think (hope) that we are starting to see optimistic pricing starting to hit on the glass ceiling? Both Autohaus cars have sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been pricing their cars pretty competitively recently (compared to Duttons etc), so will be interesting to see what the final advertised price is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Posted 7August, 2015 Report Share Posted 7August, 2015 (edited) LOLTony Dron in the April 2015 edition of Octane magazine did refer to 964's as "respectable but dull" so is it a surprise that this thread has wandered a little? I found mine a bit dull which is part of the reason I sold it in short order. Felt a bit heavy and underpowered, not as nimble as I expected of a 911. But that's clearly a very personal opinion because they remain sought after as evidenced by recent prices. i can't fathom how a 964 could be worth more than a GT3.

But we still love them the feel/emotion is so different, but you are right, very personal.

itsujack Posted 7August, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 7August, 2015 You should find a 356 The turtleneck will be right at home!funny tassie, we were tossing up either a 356 or 964 originally. In fact had a deposit down on a B before the seller changed their mind?some might say strange comparison, but both appealed. came down to the right car being available when we were ready, but I still have an eye out for that elusive 356...

au-yt Posted 12August, 2015 Report Share Posted 12August, 2015 Hi guysI everyone's learned opinion here is a car that is coming on the market and as I haven't seen one for sale for ages what do people estimate its worth1991 964 C2 Triptronic 58thousand Ks. Bought new in South Africa buy a Malaysian diplomat who bought it to Australia 12 years ago.It has spent the last 10 years in country NSW and only covered 10K of the 58K in that timeDark metallic green with Grey interior and every thing works!! air included Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugh Posted 13August, 2015 Report Share Posted 13August, 2015 (edited) Is it a coupe? If so probably at least 50k, if its really nice maybe 60k tops? Hard to ballpark these cars without seeing them and knowing what work has or hasn't been done. 58 is a very low amount of kms though - this can be good or bad.

tazzieman Posted 23August, 2015 Report Share Posted 23August, 2015 Does a colour's rarity really dictate such a premium over others? I have read that if you are using colour to differentiate your car , your car is not a proper rarity.But that's not to say some people won't outbid each other to get the black on black or lobster on lobster that is deemed desirable , if not rare.

Blue964 Posted 23August, 2015 Report Share Posted 23August, 2015 I have read that if you are using colour to differentiate your car , your car is not a proper rarity. The curious thing I have noticed creeping into 964 coupe rarity discussions of late is that somehow not having a sunroof makes the car rare and collectable...really!

hugh Posted 23August, 2015 Report Share Posted 23August, 2015 The curious thing I have noticed creeping into 964 coupe rarity discussions of late is that somehow not having a sunroof makes the car rare and collectable...really!I was recently in at a Porsche centre (that shall remain nameless) and found myself having a conversation with one of the service managers that pointed out how much of a shame it was that my car had a sunroof...........wtf? My response was "so you'd knock one back because it has one?" and he just replied that they were rarer and "the one to have". It would appear the market is flooded with 964 sunroof coupes? I was going to say that his wife likes it (the sunroof that is) but that would be childish so I just smiled and said thank you.

clutch-monkey Posted 23August, 2015 Report Share Posted 23August, 2015 didn't all 964's come to aus with sunroof? like bmw M cars- automatically were specced up for our market. either way- not hard to rectify, in the broad scheme of things, with the market what it is - what a tosser.

Tit Posted 23August, 2015 Report Share Posted 23August, 2015 That's an American thing. Like the obsession with lightweight wheels. It's people that fancy themselves racecar drivers.Americans also sneer at window tint. tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
