What is a reasonable price range for and 89 carrera black on black, very clean and has 70,000 miles? This will be used as a daily driver.

Thanks.

Blitz:

As you will find out from subsequent posts, there are too many variables to adequately give you a reasonable price range you can actually use without a lot more information. 70,000 track miles, highway miles, or city miles? Adequate maintenance over the last 23 years and documentation to prove it? Has a PPI been done? Is it stock or has it been modified over the years? If it's in great shape without any issues, I'll say $20-25k for the relatively low miles.

I paid 23K for mine three years ago and it had 120,000 kms at time of purchase.I guess anything in the low 20K range if the car has a clean PPI is good ...

Best of the G50's as most of the updates are done in 89 !

Cheers !

With a clean PPI, as described, $25K is about the market. However, that is getting top range dollars.

Adding DD miles will/may move the future resale down against low mile cars. Miles are miles. Some are good, some are bad (as posted) but they are all miles. Years are years, too. While still very reliable, they are now all over 20 yrs old and many rubber/plastic parts will start to fail/crack/tire out.

For me, I bought a 89', 62k mile car that I would say is a 10 mechanically, 9 inside and a 7.5 outside (quarter panel re-shot). I put roughly $2k into it - Refinished Fuchs/Lowered/Aligned/Strut Bar/Tuned + tidbits. Very nice, Not a show car, but not a DD.

Outside of the "Buyers Guide", emotionally my decision was -
I bought what I wanted, I don't plan on making a profit, it's better to drive $25k than have it sit in the bank earning nothing, I could turn it back to cash anytime, it gives me weekend projects, my cars outside - which is where I have to smoke my cigars

Best of luck.
