Default Under Priced 1979?

With what's happening recently in 928's kingdom, I think this '79 manual with low mileage may be a tad underpriced!

It looks like something worth checking out.

If the mileage is correct, which seems low...but the engine compartment seems to suggest it may be correct, since the air intake tubes look in remarkably good shape and several of the plated pieces still show decent color. You'd have to get underneath to really see if it is that low of miles.

It appears to have the correct radio, too.

Hopefully, someone close by will check it out.

Why don't people wash cars before putting up for sale? I'm actually glad they don't as I have "stolen" several nice cars over the years that looked horrible in the ad but once washed and vacuumed actually were very nice under the grime. I was the only one who actually came and looked so my lowball offer was the only offer. Crazy.

I'm glad they haven't washed the engine bay, yet, stickers all look in pretty nice shape.

Some colors hide condition/dirt better than others. Look at the Meteor Metallic below Kegan just purchased from Stan and drove from PA to TX. Pulled in my driveway after trudging through some crappy weather and looked pretty darn good. That said, why just you admit that you have glow face at 3am when the majority is asleep ? Take a look at your own sig and tell me you don't have a hoarding problem I bet you have another car being transported to your home as I'm replying to this post. Tell me I'm wrong T

This was a very brief search. No affiliation.

Frankly, I don't see the run up in prices that has been predicted for 2-6 years.

Um Doc, those were all pure unadulterated junk (at least most of them) and would never be part of any run up in prices. You can still get pretty cheap 911s too. Just because the good ones are rising, and they most certainly are, does not mean the crap ones will too. They'll just continue to flounder and fade into parts cars, allowing the good ones to continue the climb.

Worth the $6k. The air filter is correctly oriented.
