Hagerty has the right value. Too bad the asking prices don't match that value. I was looking at asking prices recently, and when I told my wife what people were asking she suggested I buy a Cayman. Yes, asking prices for S2s are about the same as a Cayman, and not much different than a Cayman S.

I love mine. Nearly 4 years ago I paid 9 grand for a very well sorted car after much thought, choosing the S2 over the Turbo for the reasons mentioned. I too like the Cayman as the mid engine layout is much more appealing than the rear engined 911. Hi-tech and lack of user friendly service will probably keep me away, plus I like being able to lift the hood on a 944 and actually seeing the engine

I owned 3 S2s, see sig below. I sold two of the S2s for under 8, both had under 75k miles and were also very well sorted. The one that was stolen.... that's a whole nother nightmare.
I would look at another S2 for under ten, but not over twenty which is where asking prices are hovering lately. Would you pay twenty for what you bought four years ago for 9? I sold my 90 S2 for under 8 in 08 with 73k miles and a new clutch, 454 struts, etc.

I bought a 128i manual with 32k miles this summer as a DD. Not a S2, but also not almost 30 years old and almost half the asking price of a S2 with 100k more miles, and the 128i has perfect paint. Not knocking the S2, but for twenty grand to spend on a car I would drive, I would buy the Cayman.

Same logic applies to 930 or similar. Only you can buy about 5-10 caymans for that money..

No, but I would gladly sell for twenty for what I paid nine

I've never seen an S2 coupe listed for $20k, aside from the sunroof delete M030 on Hemmings that is sitting in Latvia. There's an S2 coupe on eBay right now for $12,900, and another at a dealership in SF listed for $15,900, and those are just the asking price. The Turbos are still the market's preferred model, and even those rarely sell for more than $20k. I don't know where Hagerty's getting their data from, but it's way off.

i wouldn't sell mine for 40k and it's for sure not worth 10

The Hagerty value in the article is just the average value for a car in good condition with relatively few needs. It puts a "fair' condition car at $5,300. Fair condition, according to Hagerty, could mean the car has dash cracks, windshield chips, a dent or two, imperfect paint.... basically what 90% of the S2s you see for sale look like.

Good condition ($8,700) means a couple of those faults, but not all and in generally better condition overall.

The excellent and concours cars are worth $20,000 and more, according to Hagerty. These are the kinds of cars that would win PCA judged events and rarely be driven. Low miles, basically perfect cosmetics.

For a car in-between good and excellent, values would be in the teens.

Sounds about right to me.
