Can anyone provide me with the basic price range for a 55k mile, black on black 2-owner '91 3.3 Turbo? Anything glaring to look for in terms of major red flags/ things to ask specifically that i may not be able to see?
@cobalt, I'm a jersey native and would love for your (or anyone's educated) opinion. @bweSteve I saw you watch Turbos as well. I have a deposit on the car but would love some input before I pull the trigger.
Car had a new clutch, pressure plate, throw-out bearing and valve adjustment a few years ago. everything else looks to be original.
Leakdown test showed:
Cylinder 1: 120psi
Cylinder 2: 120psi
Cylinder 3: 120psi
Cylinder 4: 125psi
Cylinder 5: 120psi
Cylinder 6: 120psi
Again, apologies if in the wrong place. New to the forum.

Those are compression numbers. which are fine for a turbo (I suspect these were done cold) Was a leak down test performed? What is not too long ago? If it is more than 15k miles they are due again soon. I might be able to narrow it down more if I had more info although Steve is probably better versed in the 3.3 market than I am. If the car is in North Jersey I can try to take a look.

I would need to see the car or at least some pictures. Recent sales on 3.3T's have been all over the place. 3.3 Turbos with similar miles have been between $100k and $130K. Some had sketchy past and all had some paintwork or issues needing to be addressed. This is a good range although if the car is very clean it might fetch more. Market is a bit soft although nice cars still bring premiums and we are coming into the winter months which is a bit softer than the early spring summer months.

I can send over some photos privately if possible, just not sure how.

^^ I recognize the 964 on the doors from someone who posted here a while back. You might try going back a year or so in this thread and see if it shows up.

It's 9SIX4-C4
Had it only a short time, (hopefully staying with Porsche but) maybe going back to water-cooled?

Someone here said they knew the car and it was a C4. Maybe it is a C2 but the ad says automatic trans: $72,000
