Port 911 Posted 20June, 2016 Report Share Posted 20June, 2016 Hi AllTrying to get an idea on what kind of money to pay for a 944 non turbo, I have seen some for sale, the ones around 10 - 12k seem to sell, but getting above 14k they just seem to sit there.I have found a one owner, paint is good, inertia is good, it has service history, new clutch, traveled around 227000k, its an Oz delivered car. It has Sunroof & a/c, think the ac may need attentions. the guy paid 16k & then put in a clutch with intentions to keep the car. His situation has changed & is looking to sell the car for $18500.Looking for a little feedback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His situation has changed & is looking to sell the car for $18500.Looking for a little feedback I have been watching this market for a little while & I reckon you're right in that the 10/12k cars seem to sell (but they always have issues that need dollars spent don't they!!) They always are a little shabby inside or have some electrical problems etc, etc. To my mind a one owner in really good condition 18.5k is a pretty reasonable ask. (it's up there though & you'd want it to be in GREAT nick for the money.) Offer him 17.5 cash & shake his hand. (if you don't please let me know & i'll give him a call- seriously- why can I never find these cars?).good luck-you lucky bugger.

Port 911 Posted 20June, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 20June, 2016 Thanks for the feedback, he did point out the things wrong with it, all little small things, & he already has the parts, said he will fix them before I pick it up, don't know if I can get him down much, maybe worth paying the money & shake hands on good terms if he fixes the few things wrong with it.

That's some serious money for a n/a car, it would have to be almost perfect and if it's got A/C dramas that's upwards of a grand to fix, ask me how i know.You say a 1 owner then say someone paid $16k for it? Anyway looks quite good from the photo's and i guess it's worth what your prepared to pay, personally i would want everything done very recently to pay that money, including belts and waterpump, just my opinion.

tazzieman Posted 20June, 2016 Report Share Posted 20June, 2016 , then spent 3k plus on the clutch, trying to clarify when the belts were done last.Belt , quality waterpump , rollers , make sure there are no oil leaks , factor in cost to retension belt (2 hours labour for some) Could be another 1500. I trust the gearbox is silky smooth after 227km of sports car driving. Top money , he paid. But perhaps they are soaring up? TINGY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port 911 Posted 20June, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 20June, 2016 Not telling What year is it Rickie?LOL its a 1986, think around the 14k to 15k maybe, is a price I could live with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgy Posted 20June, 2016 Report Share Posted 20June, 2016 There was an 86 Aussie car, oval dash, manual recently for $12k in ACT. I think $12-14k is reasonable. $18.5k is steep. Port 911 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port 911 Posted 20June, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 20June, 2016 There is one in SA 1986 UK import with 200,000k on it that I could get for $9500, sun roof, no a/c, non turbo car. the guy has had it for around five years, & his wife wants the garage back.

Diamond911 Posted 20June, 2016 Report Share Posted 20June, 2016 the outcome of this '85 auction may provide another point on the curve for you as to where the market is at for pre ovals:http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/PORSCHE-944-MANUAL-AUSTRALIAN-DELIVERED-ORIGINAL-928-911-924-Audi-BMW-NIssanFord-/222154931576?hash=item33b9773d78:g:gxQAAOSwvg9XYk-v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TINGY Posted 20June, 2016 Report Share Posted 20June, 2016 Exactly what tazzie said, start negotiations if you really want it, 18.5k, you will start the 944 upward trend i reckon, looks good for the rest of us lol, the 944S2 is not listed at CTS now i wonder what it sold for, i might have to flip mine.

Port 911 Posted 20June, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 20June, 2016 I thank you all, it confirms what I was thinking, it maybe a good car but 18.5k is a little high, will see how we go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PomBstard Posted 20June, 2016 Report Share Posted 20June, 2016 I wondered what happened, I was going to sneak in for a look this week but I was too slow obviously!Hmm, me too. I usually work about 2min walk from CTS but couldn't get there until tomorrow - called them on Friday for more info. Apparently was in all-original condition, no indication of any top-end work or replacement items, such as clutch or belts. Seemed to me like a steep asking price ($36k) for a car with potentially a bit needing to be done. But it was red. I might wander in tomorrow and see if I can find out more about the sale price.
