i've driven it--car pulls well, no obvious mechanical issues--some notes: the clutch pedal is very hard and it can be a bit difficult to shift into first from stop--normal for a 915 tranny vs need for clutch replace? the speedometer isn't reading properly, and the brake light on the dash lights up intermittently.

anyhow, ballpark, where would the market experts place this car's purchase price? the car belongs to a friend, so we are trying to find a "fair" price for both seller and buyer in an amicable way.

thanks in advance!

Lots of people are trying to cash out on the 930s right now and the market is relatively flooded. I hopped on eBay real quick and found a couple of driver condition comps for you.

However, condition and records are everything, so it's almost impossible to give it a value without a PPI etc. (plus, unless I missed it I don't see the year of this 930). For example, even in this down 10-20% market, mine would sell for past $150k BUT it's a well, well sorted all California car, all records from new (no joke), numbers matching, proper maintenance, and very good upgrades that make the car unique yet "stock-like." Is your friend's that you're looking to buy anything like my example? If so, maybe this helps. Good luck.
