Thanks. I don't do many events, but PM me if you want to meet up. I try to do most of my own work, but if it's beyond me, I call Warren at Rennsport at Sealy.

Good evening all, new member with first post who would appreciate the group’s input. I am looking at buying a 1990 964 C2 with approximately 55,000 miles. White exterior with wine/burgundy interior (not sure what the official color is called). It is in excellent condition inside and out, current owner (2nd) has had it for about 20 years and has only put 15,000 or so miles on it. This is the 4th Porsche he has owned and or restored so he knows how to take care of them. What do people feel is a fair price for a 964 of this vintage and condition?
FYI, I think he is going to ask around $33K which it seems is a fair price given the limited research I have had a chance to do.

Appreciate any input from the group.
Coupe, targa or cab? If it is a 90 C2 coupe with 55k actual miles and no accident damage, I will take as many as you can find at $33k. If you can get any decent 964 for $33k grab it and don't look back. Although expect some needs and check to see if any engine work has been done. These had issues Porsche addressed in the later years. Don't trust any seller period, have it thoroughly checked out by a qualified shop who knows these cars. I would say the car is worth nearly double his asking all things considering. If he knows these cars he knows it is worth more than his asking so I suspect it isn't as clean as you might hope.
Cobalt, thank you for the feedback. The car is a coupe and I am 99% sure it has had no accident damage. I know the gentleman selling it and know for sure nothing has happened to it in the 20 or so years he has had it. I looked at it a few weeks ago and everything on the body looked straight. I am going to try to look at it again this coming week as he told me yesterday he is finally interested in selling it. I know their are some cracks in the tail light plastic pieces that I would want to replace but those are just cosmetic things that I would want to address. I also know it will need tires, they need to be replaced due to age not wear. I will definitely get a PPI. I know the shop and the mechanic that he has used and trust them both so I know that any work has been done correctly and will be able to get all service records on the car. Money would not been an issue for any repairs that needed to be done.
Money is not an issue now for the seller either and I just don’t think he realizes how much these cars have appreciated. He has not been as interested in or as physically able to enjoy his Porsche (he just turned 75) and has spent more time on his motor home and the early Bronco he is doing a frame off restoration on right now over the last few years.
I do plan on sharing the feedback I receive from the group with him in regards to the car’s value. Sometimes a great deal is not worth it if you are taking advantage of someone. If he still feels his price to me is fair to him and he gets what he wants for the car, then he is happy and I get a great deal and have a clear conscience.

Thank you again for your feedback.
My faith in humanity has been restored...
Good luck to you, I hope you get it and share more details if/when you do.
