Default These dealer books very rare? worth much on ebay?

These two booklets came in the binder of my car, and while pretty cool, wont affect my resale value like the window sticker and maintenance history. or even car manual.

Has anyone seen them, bought them, looked for them? The porsche 944 book has technical specs, paint options, interior options and information regarding almost every area of the 944 back in 1985. The porsche book touches on each model available then, the 911 3 different series, 928, and 944.

They are both in very good condition considering they are 22 years old

I think they're probably worth about $10 each on ebay. Owners manulas are worth quite a lot more depending on the year. As you say doesnt affect resale but they're nice to have with the car.

thats why i wasnt sure, owners manuals go for a bit, and didnt know if these were similar. Not worth listing for sale, i think i'll hold on to them to go with the car.. might be for sale before summer ends anyway... might be

My dad has like every single one ever! You could just pick them up free at porsche dealers back in the 80s, give it a couple more years and you could probably get 50 bucks a pop for each of them. Plus they give you some cool stats which I have memorized of course.

They go for $5-$15 on e-bay. They do not seem appreciate much over time (i.e., many of the 70s era brochures cost no more than the 80s or 90s brochures). Always nice to have with the car. I've got a pretty good collection of '87 +/- catalogs. The accessories catalog is really amusing if you can find it.

They are absolutely worthless. I'll happily take them off your hands and will pay shipping too. ;]

Seriously though, if you don't want them I'd take them.
