Let's analyze final prices on various SC/3.2 Ebay cars. (Why was price so high/low?)
This is just for fun. We're not going to be re-creating a NADA value book from this thread, so yes, one can only make a best guess based on a limited Ebay listing.
Generally, SC/Carerra's go for $15k to $30k on Ebay.
I'd like to do a post-mortem on various auctions and see what you experts will attribute to why the price ended where it did.
Why was one car so low, and another one so high?
It will help to see how you seasoned veterans determine value.
I'll start with 3 examples.
1986 SC. Top bid of only $17,600. Only 100k miles. Why such a low bid?
Porsche : 911 Carerra in Porsche | eBay Motors
B/c it's sold by a dealer/flipper without real ownership documentation?
This is a big turnoff for me, and I would hesitate to buy a flipper car.
I think I am not the only one.
Private party vs. a dealer/flipper. I would only get from a flipper if it were a screaming deal, b/c I need the story of why the person is selling. And the fact that the flipper got it cheap in the first place is a red flag. The exception to this is the high end dealers who might buy private party for $25k, but then flip it for $40k+ based on their PPI reputation.
1978 SC. $13,800. Great value for someone?
Cons: Over 200k miles. And 1970s era SC's are priced lower.
Porsche : 911 targa SC in Porsche | eBay Motors
Meanwhile, this got a bid of $30k. 60k miles? 1 owner? Prior work?
Porsche : 911 Carrera in Porsche | eBay Motors
