Seems pretty stiff for a C2 coupe.. For $33+k CAN (which is about the same USD these days), you can start looking at widebodies and such. Or a brand new Chrysler T&C minivan with all the options, which is what I'm going to go trade my 964 for right now.... see you guys on the dark side!

Mind you the Canadian market has a lot less selection to choose from. But that price is a tad high, I have my 1992 C2 listed for about $10k cheaper than that.

I really think a great example with all the quirks wringed out is in the 30k range. I would not think of asking any less for my perfect example either. You can buy higher mileage cars with nothing but problems and stories for $10k less....and they are worth 10k less.

It will take the right person looking for the right car. That person would be me....but i already have a low mileage perfect 964 cab.

And we are trading at 1.06 today exchange.

The way it basically works is that one can always ask whatever they want for a vehicle. It's the market that determines actual value after the buyer and seller has agreed on a price. The market isn't particularly strong right now for exotic or sports cars...everything sells at a price. We always think our cars are worth more than they really are.

Canadian car values are always higher, especially on the west coast. However, this car seems priced well above the realm of reality. I hope he gets it but Canadians shop in the US too and I bet a similar car in the US would fetch $10+ less.

That's what I figured as well....and priced mine according to the market vs what I think my own car is worth to me.
