What's a one owner silver/black targa with 38,000 miles in perfect original condition worth. All upgrades performed. I've heard numbers from $25-35K.

Ed Hughes

I can't see it being worth $35K.

If it were a unique color combination (say continenal orange/lobster (like mine)), I would hope it could fetch $35,000 from the right buyer, but silver/black and a targa, puts it at the low end of the high-end scale, in my opinion. I say closer to $25,000, but my opinion is worthless since I'm not considering buying it.

I realize the targa (vs the coupe) is a slight devalue; however I've been told time and again that the silver/black combo is a huge plus.

Be realistic, an SC is not, per se, an investment - so valuation has more to do with current mkt conditions than intrinsic collectability. Body type, mileage, MY & color are relevant, just as are physical / mechanical condition & history... like any old production 911. It isn't the only one in the world, probably not even the best.

So, if you REALLY want THAT car & have the $, then std procedure applies - consider all your alternatives, drive it, PPI it & negotiate ("hit 'em low & work 'em" - what's the asking price, anyway?). (To me) it is most critical to clearly determine one's own intent & expectation. If you want a number, start waving cash in the high teens - if you can't close, walk & keep hunting... patience is a strength, & $25k should buy lotsa nice 911s from '78-'89... even a silver Targa w/ less than 100k mi.

I just helped sell a one owner 1988 targa with 46k miles. in excellent condition. it sold for 22k. would an SC be worth more? or did the buyer of the 88 get an incredible deal?

ked

"would an SC be worth more?"
No.
"or did the buyer of the 88 get an incredible deal?"
Incredible? No... but if he's a happy 911 owner-driver in 1 yr, he got a good one.

If the SC looked like it came off the showroom floor and was 100% original...was original paint and had every document from day one including the purchase order for the car...and $6k was spent to properly sort the car...$25k easily. For every one of these types of cars, there are ten or more 3.2's, most in average or above average condition. The SC or Super Carrera was a great, lightweight car and the collector market is now just waking up to that fact.

If I was looking at a collector car, I'd go for a Carrera any day over a CIS car.

Richard's known for having very nice examples... & not underpricing them.

dead, I hope those collectors wake up for you. I've always believed,
"in an infinite universe, everything is true... eventually."

For even more comparison, here's an even lower mile Carrera Targa at Sloan-still not at $35K:

But he does have a 15,000 mile '81 SC on its original Pirellis for $49500. Wonder what those hockey pucks are worth? I mean if you were to put new tires on the car, would it drop $10,000 in value? LOL

How about a high mile 82' SC for $7500? :-)
