Default REALISTIC 964 C2 Coupe values

Have been seeing some crazy numbers lately (a fellow PCA guy said some were in the $50-65K range and not even an RSA). I told him he was crazy and was curious if these are just asking prices or if these cars are actually selling in that range. Makes me curious what a realistic range a '92 Amazon Green C2 5-speed Coupe with 96k miles is worth. Mostly stock except for PSS10's, lowered. I do have ALL records since new. Are our cars REALLY that desirable? Thanks for the insight.

Seems like they are selling in the range you have stated as good examples tend to sell in a day or two, so given that time frame I doubt sellers are too motivated to negotiate off their asking price. I would guess your car would sell somewhere in the $45k-$55k range. Could be more but you are getting close to 100k; serious collectors are willing to pay a big premium for lower mileage examples it seems.

Also, are you in Florida?

where ya been? This seems to be the year of the 964's which has been a blessing for those who want to sell and a nightmare for those who want to acquire! I think Singer played a part in this. I would say you could easily get in the low $50's for yours assuming original paint. RSA's are selling in the $80's with those miles. You plan to sell or just asking???

Seems a lot of $40-45K asks but not many seem to be selling ( based on time ads are up ). Also depends on mileage, use, ( track car ) stock vs non stock, aftermarket seats/cage etc seem to detract from values. A pristine 89 C-4 coupe with RUF upgrades and all original parts, 2 sets of wheels, complete set of
shop manuals, rebuilt engine, etc. with 57K miles just sold on Pelican for low 40's. So hard to say what the average car actually sells for. Regardless of mileage, color or condition still only worth what someone willing to pay for it. Agree with MTR, the nicest ones sell fast.

Holy smoke! Had no idea these were real numbers. At these values, I just may sell! Know I need to pony up and become a Rennlist member to actually post a for sale. Really have to consider these circumstances. ( I am just outside Orlando.)

Thanks to all for the responses.....always educational on Rennlist! MWN

I had 2 people offer me $47K for my C2 (high mileage but freshly rebuilt engine + tranny)... At the end I decided not to sell it. So yeah, prices are up. Especially for '92-'94 C2 coupes with '90-'91s following closely behind.

There's nothing else in terms of quality or fun that's even close for $50k...

It's the perfect 911.

Take this "excellent condition" 964 C2 and adjust its price by how much excellence of condition you're willing to sacrifice to save a few dollars.

Yes, prices are appealing and I played with the idea for a while too, but came to the conclusion to keep the C2. I get more looks on the road than any of the newer variants and mine is just the way I like it.

Default Mid 40s

Would suggest closer to mid 40s then low 40s but yes had extras. Sold for 44k but with many extras.... Sold swiftly and believe could have held out for more (47-48k) as had many calls and people contacting me even after the sale. But buyer seemed like an enthusiast like us (sometime that more important then max dollar) so sold for what I bought it for. Lost some $ on ppi costs, shipping costs and other etc. I think newer year 91 c2 with receipts and upkeep would do well but miles will always be a factor. 60k, 80k and 100k all thresholds that can effect pricing IMO.

From what I have learned (old news to many more educated then I) year 91+ after certain production dates did not need the engine rebuild like prior dates but still require some certain things for proper longer life.... Areas like Steering rack, flywheel and clutch, new valve seals, engine seal etc

Why is the 92 mentioned by some as more desired then later 91s or do people say 92 as better comparing it to the 91 production runs before Porsche changed the piston/cylinder seal issues etc.... ???

Default REALISTIC 964 C2 Coupe values

According to Adrian Streather's Porsche 964 enthusiast companion (page 583) there were only 520 C2 and C4 coupes exported to the USA in 1993 (including tip tropic).
So if you're looking for a manual transmission 1993 c2 coupe in the USA, and when you subtract the tipTronic's, The c4's, The cars that of been made into singers, The cars that have been exported to Europe, and the cars that have been wrecked, you're looking for a rare bird.
I think the 1993 C2 manual coupes will hit 100k first.

$32k is pretty fair for an all stock (c2 or c4, those that know don't care) not rebuilt engine-wise, that's been driven and is 100K mileage and has a few bumps and bruises (since it's actually been driven) but has been fixed. More than that it is cherry, less than that and you can put a little $$ in it to get it where it needs to be.
