Default How much is my car worth?

Thanks guys. I have put my car on ebay and I am getting a lot of emails people trying to BS me. What do you think? Everybody who sees the car (friends, family) think that I am selling too low.

Option codes, everyone leaves off the list of factory option codes!!

Just a thought, as that will be the first thing that I look for on my next P-Car.

Beautiful car!!!

If you are not in a hurry to unload the car, I think that you could probably get $20,000 in the Vancouver market. You just have to wait until the right buyer comes along.

I got my '89 w/ 80,000 miles for $8,000 USD but mine is stock. You've got some nice mods on there and white is a nice color for a 951. The amount you get will depend largely on how quickly you need to sell. I'm gonna guess you'll get less than $15,000 (but I hope I'm wrong). Good luck.

89 951s had no options. They were all full loaded.

Actually, I think that sports seats and CD player might have been optional.

I hate to be the bringer of bad news, but in US dollars I don't think you'd get much over 10k for that car. The mods are not attractive to most folks, the engine bay has a lot wiring that could be cleaned up and it's not the most desirable color combo (althought the black interior is a plus to most). Seems to me that turbos in CA go for around 10K-12K.

You'd also might want to consider getting it back to stock. It's a lot of work but you're almost always gonna get more if you sell off the mods seperately.

You will never get $20000.

Sorry but $11000-$13500 is all its worth.

Great looking car but clean the engine bay. Also sell the aftermarket items if you can, they dont help the value of the car.

I think they are refering to the Canadian market, 951's sell much higher in Canada

If you would like to do future tuning yourself, I can sell you a wideband sensor inc. wideband oxygen sensor which runs separate from the rest of the car
If this is the Zeitronix unit, or something similar, and you are interested in selling seperate, please PM me. . . .

Id say around $20K or so in Canadian funds, that would be a fair price for both parties.

Great looking ride; I'd probably pay in the $10K USD range, but then again I'm soon to have two turbos so I've no need for another turbo car. Once the Callaway car is running I might even sell the 951 and get an S2 cab - that's what I really want anyway.
