On a different note, my first 951 was an '86 (red too) I bought for $3250. It was a salvage title - sideswiped by a drunk driver - not one body panel was strait on the entire car AND it had 260K miles on it, . . .but it ran. It needed bad for someone to put it out of it's misery. Nonetheless, I drove it for another year.
It's still to this day one of the fastest cars I've ever had. It had 8 and 9" Fuchs and after I sold them, It ended up costing me $2k even after DMV fees and a set of Steve R chips.
They're out there.

Yeah KBB is obscenely wrong on these cars. A fair/good is 7k easily. A perfect(with high miles like 90k) is going to the 8s and 9s. Perfect meaning mechanically speaking, cosmetically its fair.

I see that only people who want their cars to be worth a lot say that KBB is wrong, but people buying want it to be right ...
if you are an owner/seller then you want your car to be worth a lot even if it's not.

Have you been hiding under a rock?
KBB on these cars, hasn't been right since they were new.

My nephew bought an 87 951 a couple of months ago for $1800.00
98000 miles odometer broken though.
Paint new but covering some bondo.
Interior in really bad shape.
And OH the engine is blown and needs a rebuild.
The guy that owned it turned it over to a Porsche dealer because he couldn't afford to pay his bills. After a year of it sitting on the back lot they wanted to just unload it.
