Asking on behalf of a friend who is interested:

87' M491 package, good condition, around 90K miles, asking $33K

Is this fair value? Seems a bit high for me. Thanks!

I would advise your friend to slow down before offering that asking price. If this is a true M491 optioned car they are very rare and prices can be much higher than that depending on condition. Only 305 M491 Cabs were sold in the NA market in 87.

More info here - http://87m491.wordpress.com/m491/ and this is a great reference site - http://www.turbo-look.de/911-en.php

I recently purchased an 87 M491 Cab in pristine condition with less than 50K miles. I likely paid over market because I bought it from Holt Motorsports, a dealer known for rare, low mileage, great condition cars and premium prices. But my guess is that your friend's asking price should be at least $10K to $20K higher depending on condition/quality and desirability of the color combo.

Thanks for the advise. Great stuff there, I'll relay the message. That particular car sold in 1 day, no doubt due to price.
