Is a 1989 951 Turbo worth 20K in pristine shape ? Garaged , no paintwork and all original, with maintenance records ? Guards Red with Black interior , No dash cracks no seat cracks, etc........... Like new ? Thanks for your response ?

I would say yes.

Based upon what you said and without having a PPI done? I would say yes. After the PPI, if some things are found to be wrong, then it's time to negotiate. Then again, his asking price it just that. My first 944T was an 1989 and was in pristine shape from a Porsche collector, bone stock, no damage, garaged, etc., and only had 27K on it too. If you are serious about the car, do "extensive" homework on it before you consider making an offer, let alone buying it too. Everyone has their own preferance, but for me, I only buy 944Ts that are in either pristine to excellent shape. Anyway if you need any help at all, feel free to PM me. I will be happy to help if I can.

Yeah I am talking to the Porsche Dealer tomorrow , it was just serviced and there were some recommendations, either way I have a deposit on it and I will buy ............. Not too many of these left I would guess........

TurboTommy

Call me crazy, but if the car is as described, I would be willing to pay even more!!

bearone

does just serviced mean belts/water pump/seals/rollers?

i think you'll find a lot of dry rubber all around bushings/grommets.

low miles is nice but mostly sitting for 18 yrs is it's own wear and tear.

Wow, I paid $3100 for my '88 turbo S in decent shape, lot a stuff you can do with $17.000,

davepnola

Yeah sounds to good to be true for 3100.00 sound like a donation ?

Brantley

20k sounds resaonable considering the low miles for an 89, and as long as the inspection checks out.

$3100 for a decent 88 turbo S is like winning the lottery! Good find...

tman

Yeah, I know I got a killer deal, thanks to my dad. He works at a local volvo vw dealer and this car was traded in for a vw bug. I got it for what they paid for it.

Stephen Porter

I would say yes, easily. There was one with 30K that sold last year from the PCA website for $15K and I kick myself for not snapping it up, even though it was quite some distance away. There just are NOT that many low mileage cars around. Of course, if you are going to modify it, then you could probably pick up something that was in very close to the same condition--or even better for less money. If you are buying it for a driver, then follow Rolex's advice and make sure that there is NO deferred maintenance. Then you have a $20K car that will be a real pleasure to own and drive for years to come and will maintain most, if not all of its value. Sounds like a nice car.

I'm becoming defensive about this...

IT'S NOT A TURBO S!!! it's an 89 turbo!

BUT in that shape, yeah, she's worth it.

davepnola

Said the clutch was changed ar 21k miles, must of been a bad driver ??

Mighty Shilling

or the small springs popped out of the disc...

davepnola

Do all 89 turbos have the m030 option?
