Help with 911 value
Black 1983 911SC. California car. 150000 miles. Recent service (1 month)including all fluids/filters, plugs/wires and valve adjust. Service records since new.
Drivetrain
- No Leaks
- No Oil consumption
- Front mounted Carrera oil cooler
- Pop-off valve in air box
- Factory Short Shift
- New clutch and flywheel (2 months)
Suspension and Brakes
- New rotors and brake pads
- 6/7X16 polished/black Fuchs alloy wheels w/ Michelin Pilot tires
Exterior
- Black with black powder coated trim
- H4 Headlights
- Front chin spoiler
- Recently refurbished Targa Top (2 years)
Interior
- Keyless entry alarm system
- Sheepskin seat covers over factory Recaros
- New Door Panels
- Sony Am/FM cassette with 10-disc CD changer, amp and separates
- Billet pedals
Had a PPI done and it passed with flying colors - leakdown results one at 3%, the rest all 1 & 2%. Mechanic said it was in the "top 5%" of all the cars he works on - says owner is excellent.
Asking price is 15K. Is it worth it?

Like Sandy, I'd be inclined to say $12K max. But . . . any 150K car you buy will need a lot of the stuff that has recently been done - clutch, rotors, Targa top, wires etc. Then it also has Carrera cooler, H4s etc. Total all of that work up & add it to $12K & you're pretty close to $15K . . .
A lot of us buy cars because they are great value (such a deal) & then have to spend a year or two & lots of $$$ to get it right. This one sounds like it might be there already.

And, they are not rare cars, with many always for sale & there is the continuing price pressure from newer models which are also devaluing i.e. 964, 993, 996.
And of course, gas prices spiked & that had people stalling on many vehicle purchases, although that is much less of a factor with older cars.
Where will it bottom? Who knows . . .
