Pricing advice? Look here.
I see many post that say "I went to Edmunds" or "I went to kbb.com" however, for an older Porsche, that is a mostly poor way to get help on such a cars value.
So here is a hint for those of you not "in the know." Click here: CPI values
That should be very helpful.
And for those of you who need a bank to see the light on an earlier cars value, the bank SHOULD have this CPI book in the files. Just ask. Tell them to use it, not the Kelly Black Book.
BTW, I know of a REALLY nice 1987 G50 Carrera coupe (41K mi) in Cent IL that would make ANYONE happy. A Dr. pal of mine is selling, and it could be bought RIGHT. $27,900 asking price. He has it posted in the Rennlist 911 for-sales.
Wanna see it?

Someone jump on it before he trades it in!

Hunh. I just ran a query on this site for a 1973 911S. It said that a car in excellent condition should fetch between $12,000 and $13,000.
Can this be right? My sense is that the early Ses go for $20-30K.
Anybody want to sell me one for $13k?

Now now puzurinshushinak, no "value guide" is perfect.
However, why don't you go to Kelly, or Edmunds & try to bring up a 1973 911 S at all. I am sure you will find that your new query with them will be even less successful than w/ the CPI.
Anyhow, I think we all know that any "guide" is no more than exactly that... A guide.
Use it along w/ any other source to come up with an idea of value.
I just assumed that very few people even knew the CPI was available. I hope many can use it to help get that Porsche they have always wanted.

Did you read their definition of excellent? It seems most cars would NOT fall into that category no matter how nice they were.
Excellent Condition - Nearly perfect condition. The vehicle has usually been profressionally restored to the current highest standard, but a few expceptionally well cared for originals may qualify. All components are orginal or are exact replacements. Most excellent cars are not driven more than a few miles per year, if at all. There are vehicles, usually due to an interesting history or special circumstances, which will sell for more than CPI's excellent figure, but these are extremely rare and would require extensive documentation.
Good Condition - Very nice condition. In fact, most casual observers would describe the vehicle as excellent. "Good" cars show very little wear and are driven sparingly. Many are used as weekend drivers. Many older restorations fall into this category.
Fair Condition - Presentable condition. Runs anddrives and will pass a state inspection. Maybe be driven on a daily basis. Generally in need of a cosmetic restoration, but not a "basket case", or parts car. There are many cars on the road that fall below CPI's "fair" catagory, and will be priced accordingly. These are commanly referred to as "beaters" and usually not worth restoring, as the restoration costs will almost certainly exceed the value of the finished vehicle.
