FS: '86 Turbo with lots of upgrades (Edit: new price)
#31
I can't remember exactly where I got it now, been a little over a year since I bought it and put it in. Actually, I put it in just last spring when I was looking to sell then. If I remember right, it was from one of the sponsors from here, if that helps. When you buy it, you get to choose the lettering that is on it. When I put my one, I had to trim the sides some to get a perfect fit, but overall I think it turned out well.
I would expect to pay $10K for a car like that. If it was black and you were closer, I'd prolly trade off mine buy yours.

I hate to see the values so low.
I am stuck with my 951 now.
I just put a lot of money into re-doing all seals, hoses, wiring, bearings,clutch, vitesse turbo/maf/piggyback/vflex. Basically, I can't even sell the car for what all the maintenance costs were.
Its funny, but if I said, $15k for the car, people would laugh. But they will buy an $8k car to save money then have to dump $3-4k into a clutch (the clutch alone was about $2k in labor and over $1k in parts). Really, they couldn't come anywhere close to duplicating the car even if they bought a $5k car and tried to fix it up.
But the reality is, us 951 guys are bottom feeders. We want a lot of speed and not to pay anything for it. I was stupid spending what I have on the car. Others will be stupid like me in future and spend a lot to fix one up instead of paying a premium for one that is finished. That is just the reality right now.

Wow, still can't believe the lack of bids with only a couple hours left..... I know what you mean about putting the work/time/money into the cars. I bought mine 7 years ago for 8,500 and that was the going price then for a well maintained 944 turbo with records, etc. Then just doing normal maintence to the car and doing upgrades, all of which is over 20k plus the car and I can't even find someone to pay my close to what I paid for the car let alone all the upgrades I have done to the car. My car now would have been in the mid teens some 5-7 years ago.

Keep it at 10k unless you ABSOLUTELY have to sell right away. Your car is every bit of a 10K car. Be patient. Someone is out there, they just haven't found it yet, or perhaps they are waiting for their tax refund. Give it another month.

I have had only a couple people e-mail me about the car and most of them are looking to come down to the 6-7 range. If I was just selling to make room, I would keep it at that price for awhile but I am looking to get a new car here this spring.

Post that the general 924/44/51/68 forum. I can't see how someone with an N/A looking to upgrade wouldn't jump on it for that price. My car is basically the same (wheels, no dash cracks, vitesse MAF and chips, 3" exhaust). I KNOW you can't buy any of the other 951s on ebay right now and replicate your car for that price. For starters, the only 951 on ebay with a lower buy it now is only $50 less and is missing most it's paint.

I'll say it again....DAMN! I wish this was here when I bought mine last year...I wanted this exact car....Now I've put a bunch into fixing up an $8500 grey one that has the LR 340 package on it...ugh...I love regretting things... Good luck, that car is definitely worth it...

mx22, ha stock, that will last about a year at most.... It won't be long before you start upgrading it and pretty much doing everything I have already done to my car. Best of luck to you to finding a stock car out there. From the looks of it, the price is down and should be able to pick one up at a good price.

mx22 you're nuts if you don't buy this one. Infact, you're asking for trouble buying a stock 951 at this price point. It won't be close to this condition.
