1990 c2 gaurds red with lots of mods @ $45k

Thoughts on the car in the post above? I haven’t shopped 964’s in awhile, but $45k seems steep for a high mileage example with no rebuild to me.

i reached out to the seller and he sent me the history in a word doc and a pic of the engine bay and underneath. I’m on the same lines as you that it being a bit steep even if it is a c2 (not an expert like many here just my opinion). A local person to my area picked up a 194k mile C4 (I know apples vs oranges) for 36k recently and looked in much better condition cosmetic wise and didn’t have a rebuild. That said I think I’ll continue my search.

^ I think it depends. Just to clarify the guy above said not rebuilt but it was rebuilt at one point. Also depends what a buyer wants. Was the c4 stock? As we know c2 goes for a bit more. That car has a big mod lost. Very expensive coilovers, wheels etc So just seems to depend what buyer is looking for.

*Disclaimer* - just to put it out there...I’m not bashing anyone’s for sale thread I’m posting for sake of discussion and response to quoted post. And wanted to give my thoughts as I reached out to the seller. It’s ultimately any potential buyers own decision So please let’s not misunderstand. I’m not trying to sway an opinion

i hear you but regardless of c2 vs c4 mileage and over all cosmetic should be taken into consideration no? In the email sent to me this is some of the issue so listed:
• Car did have an early contact with a deer when younger. Repair was done to drivers rear quarter panel and is not visible but some of the paint blending is starting to show.
• Poor paint on hood and front chin from 169k of use
• Stain on passenger seat from sealant drip during front windshield replacement
• Driver’s seat does look to have nearly 170k miles of use
• Needs new front hood shocks. I purchased some but misplaced them during my move and am still trying to find them.
• Rear view mirror adjuster needs cap
• Has issue where low oil light will illuminate if stuck in traffic on a very hot Houston day. Mechanic is not concerned as engine oil pressure checks fine. He suspects faulty sending unit.
• Drivers side lower door seal is showing wear

Actually the c4, had coil overs, Ruf wheels, ducktail, and other mods. And you’re correct it ultimately depends on the buyer. I just feel for price should be in line with condition not just aftermarket bits. I could be wrong and it’s just the tattered interior is something I can’t get past

Lorenzoh I am by no means an expert or mechanic but I can state that my 1990 Targa was resealed nearly 2.5 years ago and after nearly 3000 miles of driving it over the past 6 months I have not seen a drop of oil on the ground and I’m not running the rear undertray. I don’t recall seeing cylinders or pistons on the replaced parts list but the total cost was pretty high at $13k. Just a data point and perhaps I just jynxed myself by posting this.
