Default 89 Turbo S on Ebay

Has this reached its value already? $6,888.88

My guess is that you would need to see the service records first before making an assessment but thoughts appreciated. High miles?

Item number if link is not working is 200177659126

looks pretty clean, but yes I would ask about service records before bidding.

That was the winning bid. I've been searching for a 951, & the market is a buyers market. $10,000 buys you a very nice car. Less than that for high miles, damage, or excess wear. Above $10,000, it better include a suitcase full of cash in the hatch. None of the above $10,000 951s are moving.

So I think most sell in the $10K to $20K range with the exception of a high mileage car like mine. But look how few are ever for sale, because there are less than 2000 in the states and probably a whole lot less than that since some of them have been wrecked. If you want a cheap 944, go buy one. If you want the best 944 cheap, then place a bid. This is going to be a really rare chance to pick up a Turbo S on the low side of the price range. It is a super rare chance to get a black on black. You will have to wait years for another one to come along, trust me. I think with a little work you can have a really nice Turbo S, repaint it and it could be awesome and it will still be a good investment. If you have been looking for one or waiting for one but don't want to pay $20K for one, here is your chance, don't let it get away. Also don't wait until the end to bid - it might get away.

I've seen FIVE 951S models for sale in the last two weeks. This one was nothing at all special.

Agreed. I would take a decent condition 100K-ish mileage 1986 951 over that car anyday.

For 7K I'd take the black on black S. My car, which bears no resemblance (interior, exterior, or otherwise) has 300k mi on it. I bought it almost 2 years ago thinking I would throw an LS1 in there when it died... it keeps not dieing.

I hate to say it, but that was DEFINITELY something special. 7k for an '89 is an absolute steal. No question about it. Don't get your hopes up for seeing something like that again any time soon (in the next 12 months).

Not only that, but a tantalizing fader for the front and rear speakers...and if you are REALLY lucky, he might even throw in a tape adapter for your portable CD player...
