Current Value of 87 S4
Curious what you guys think, with values supposedly increasing a little bit. 5 speed, 51k miles, LSD, Mahogany interior, heated lumbar seats.

I would say min 18-20k. Nice examples are getting harder to find.

You know I looked over your car and drove it. I believe it's a Condition 2.
Hagerty places it a touch over $21K

I think it's worth more than that because it's a 5 speed, has a desirable color combo, lower miles, and very original.
#2 cars could win a local or regional show. They can be former #1 cars that have been driven or have aged. Seasoned observers will have to look closely for flaws, but will be able to find some not seen by the general public. The paint, chrome, glass and interior will all appear as excellent. No excessive smoke will be seen on startup, no unusual noises will emanate from the engine compartment. The vehicle will drive as a new car of its era would. The one word description for #2 cars is "excellent."

I don't like the interior colour personally. It looks very nice, apart from (what look like) holes in the centre console.
IMO, it's worth $12-15 if all maintenance is current (recent timing belt, water pump, etc). The mileage isn't low enough for a premium collector, but it would make a nice DD.

I got my 87 5spd with LSD and sport seats last year for 14k and IMO that was a steal. 12-15 k would be price range for an auto.

Put it on Ebay at $22K BIN to gain some exposure, if it doesn't sell in 2 weeks you may get some post-auction nibbles. Then I would say $20K firm. Spend the time to get good staged pictures, write as complete a historical narrative as you can. Make it clear you're not in a hurry, don't need the money out of it, driving season's coming, etc... Be polite but firm with tire-kickers. Someone will see it for what it is.

Condition #1 vehicles are the best in the world. The visual image is of the best car, in the right colors, driving onto the lawn at the finest concours. Perfectly clean, the car has been groomed down to the tire treads. Painted and chromed surfaces are mirror-like. Dust and dirt are banned, and materials used are correct and superbly fitted. The one word description for #1 cars is "concours."
#2 cars could win a local or regional show. They can be former #1 cars that have been driven or have aged. Seasoned observers will have to look closely for flaws, but will be able to find some not seen by the general public. The paint, chrome, glass and interior will all appear as excellent. No excessive smoke will be seen on startup, no unusual noises will emanate from the engine compartment. The vehicle will drive as a new car of its era would. The one word description for #2 cars is "excellent."
#3 cars could possess some, but not all of the issues of a #4 car, but they will be balanced by other factors such as a fresh paint job or a new, correct interior. #3 cars drive and run well, but might have some incorrect parts. These cars are not used for daily transportation but are ready for a long tour without excuses, and the casual passerby will not find any visual flaws. "Good" is the one word description of a #3 car.
#4 cars are daily drivers, with flaws visible to the naked eye. The chrome might have pitting or scratches, the windshield might be chipped. Paintwork is imperfect, and perhaps the fender has a minor dent. The interior could have split seams or a cracked dash. No major parts are missing, but the wheels could differ from the originals, or the interior might not be stock. A #4 car can also be a deteriorated restoration. "Fair" is the one word that describes a #4 car.

If I were selling that car, I'd list at $19.9K and settle for $17.5K. If I were trying to buy this car, I'd offer $12K and maybe settle as high as $15K. Since I'm not in either position, I guess that's all irrelevant.
I do recall seeing this one at SITM 2010 and thought is had lots of potential with mainly a good cleaning. Looks like that has happened. After red, black, and silver... I think white might be the next most popular color and one I like alot even if it is a little slower than red.

Thanks, all. I am not looking to sell. Just curious after seeing some increases in asking prices recently. My car is middle of the road for mileage and has one thing going for it (or not, depending on your taste) with the unique interior color.
