944J

is the frame bent on that $1.2k 951? If not it could be fixed for pretty cheap.

even with a bent fram I've heard you can fix it...

IMB951

CPI Value guide states as follows for a 1986 944 Turbo

Fair: $ 6650
Good: $ 8300
Excellent: $ 10900

The CPI has been the most accurate on the current value of these cars that I've seen.

944J

if your going to by excellence then you are paying collector car prices for a non-collectable car...

944J

people who know what they doing are buying 968's for $10k

944J

why is bluebook useless?

IMB951

Because it uses ****ty value statistics and has no consideration for buyers appeal or collectible value and appreciation what so ever. In the Blue Book, a car simply loses value as it gets older, no matter what make/model. period.

BoostGuy951

The Blue Book prices are based solely on a fixed depreciation rate from the list price back when it was new. They are NOT a good representation of the fair market value.

944J

well thats how I view any car, just a car...

Im curious if the fram is bent on that 951 with pics... I could repair that damage pretty easily.

Sami951

You mentioned someone wants to buy your 944. How much is he/she paying for it? Blue book value?

hoffman912

yeah.. and my car is reliable..

Karl,

Are pieces from that car for sale? I've been searching for that little black metal strap that goes around the intercooler pipe and attaches to the airbox for 3 years!

951 for $2K
Let me know when you find one thats got a clean title, starts, drives and does not explode after 2 min of driving, ill pay you 2500 for it and fix it up.

PorscheDoc

Hmmm, i am not sure, i know there are a few pieces of the car still around. PM sh944 and ask him, since all the parts are at his house. I know the box itself was trashed, but dont know if he kept that strap.

And 944J, ANYTHING can be repaired, but it would have taken a couple grand in parts just do the body work, new radiator, 2 new fenders, new Left strut, new hood, new headlight assemblies, new headlight bar, new turbo bumper, new radiator fans, new blinkers, new fog light, new header panel, new radiator expansion tank. If you want to try and find individual prices on all that stuff, i think you would quickly find that you are up to about 4k just to have a repaired car. But i guess in your book that is ~2k. Oh plus body shop time to fix the frame.
