And for the car as described the price is fair to both buyer and seller.
If I ever sell I hope someone comes along who factors the condiiton, repairs and upgrades to the car in thier offer.
Best sale is to an informed customer.

left hook not legal unless the car is 30+ years old...starting to see more and more old mustangs around with the wheel on the left
there are a few cars (maybe 30% of the pre-89 p-car market) that have come in from the US but they never feel quite right after the left to right conversion.
also aussie cars command bigger $$$ than the imports

(the 997 owners don't even look at you) it is an escape into a different world, into a different time, think Reagan, cold war, DEVO, and dolfin shorts. think gas at a buck, and girls at the ready. When you could walk up the steps to the Capital. it's Miami Vice, Dallas, and Star Wars. It's a time before the heart attacks and pacemakers, before kids and the $2,100 morgage. before $800 summer time electric bills. It was the 80's...... remember, the Russians were gonna nuke us by now. thats why a 20 year old car is worth $25,000.

My sense is that these cars are so old now that the variance in condition is extremely large. And if value is proportional to however good a car's condition is, prices for them will vary widely also. Also, peoples' concept of condition varies so much. When shopping for 3.2 Carreras, pristine does not always truly mean pristine. When buying mine, I purchased someone's uber low milage concourse car and then proceeded to spend more money on it to make it nicer - real money. At the end of the day, I have an '88 3.2 Carrera (it really is pristine now) that costed me about $55,000 (Yea. I'm dumb.). So, $25K or $35K even for a Carrera, that is truly in excellent condition, sounds reasonable to me.
Of course buyers vary as to their needs/wants and each gets in where they fit in.
My point is that a car's value, a car which is as old and unique as ours, is individual to a car's condition/outfit.

This red 3.2 Carrera for $16000 is more in line with Kelly Blue Book values. Tempting but 800 miles away from me. http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...e=&cardist=768

Pretty sure that one in RI has a salvage title, I could be wrong.
When I got my "88 last year I couldnt find an y decent G50 Carrera for under 22K. I would say 22-24K would be in the range if mint.

European prices are much higher as well (prices are for good but not concours cars ):
3.2/G50: USD 30-32k
964: USD 34-38k
993: USD 45-50k
Funny enough most 3.2's are bought by German traders who export them back to Germany. $27k would sell a real good 3.2 in a day in the Netherlands.
