Hi,

I'm a newbie looking to purchase my first Porsche.

I had set a budget of $25K to buy a well documented and updated 964 C2/C4.

Targa preferred but wouldn't say no to a nice coupe. Weekend driver with no track time expected.

I found two 89 C4 coupes, one with low miles (36K) and one with higher miles (90K).

Acknowledging that price will depend on condition, what sort of price range should I be expecting for the two?

I will get a PPI and verify that head gasket work done. Thanks for your help.

 

low 20's should be a good number for either. miles is not really a factor more maint, but if everything equal then pick teh low mile example

 

Good note on the miles not being a factor. I figured a little premium for the low miles but since I plan to drive it, I'm not willing to pay too much.

On the low mileage C4, the dealer price is over $30K so I wanted to check to see if I was missing something as to why it's so high.

I did check the price thread stickied up top for recent sold prices. Oh well, I guess patience is a virtue. I'll just have to wait until the right one comes along.

 

Not sure how far away you are looking but here is a c-list post from Seatle for a 1990 targa 76K miles, asking $25K from a dealer. The posting doesn't indicate it is a C4 but I think I see the diff lock control **** in one of the pictures:

There's a targa C4 on Ebay as we speak...

 

Thanks for that Mr. G.

I've been avoiding black and green finishes. Too much work to keep clean.

They sure do look good when they are clean and shiny though!
