RFP

Oh, dang, Sugarwood... you are not hanging out in the right places. My '87 continues to create a lot of interest from many, many under 50! This past summer, I rejected an offer from a guy in his 40s... the offer was close to twice what I paid for the car just three years ago.

Having just sold my 84 Euro coupe last week I can confirm that the market is strong, even in January. I only listed it in the PCA classifieds to avoid as many tire kickers as possible and was inundated with responses from the start. I removed the ad after 1 day as I already had a deposit within the first few hours.

Wish you had listed it here I would have snapped it up double time. Been looking for a solid well sorted Euro 81-85 for quite some time.

i get many a thumbs up from the under-50 crowd re: my '87 911 Coupe, i get many "don't ever sell that car" from my under-50 acquaintances, some are later model Porsche owners. sure it's a small sample and not a scientific study, opinions only. my theory is the air-cooled market is resting, not going down/not going up except for the "collector" cars. collector cars will go up maybe not so fast as recently but up they will go, these are the limited edition cars, low low mileage, pristine, jerry seinfeld territory. an "issue", i believe it's been said many times before on this forum, is quite a few folks mix our great non-garage kings with the "collector" cars when they discuss pricing bubbles.

Had two Euros, an 82 and an 84, both were great cars but I'm glad to be out of the air-cooled game. Best of luck in your search.

True. Even our "driver" level cars that we think are pretty great often have a lot of little niggles that we've just learned to live with. Problem is, when you go to sell, those items need to be addressed to fetch full value. These cars are old and there are fewer and fewer every year that still look really good.

To any of you looking to buy, look REALLY carefully at the car you're considering whether in person or through a trusted shop.
