I had a 964 turbo a while back but never plugged it into a diagnostic computer. Does the ECU show hours on the engine? Can the mileage easily be tampered with?

Change the speedo and presto you have a low mileage 964. My comment on what I'd pay wasn't wasn't so much based the on car's condition. I have a 964 and wouldn't pay 40 for a second. The red car does look clean and I'd inquire if it seems to fit the bill.

If its a mint one with full history to back up the miles and original everything including paint then over $60k maybe over $70 at reputable dealer or post 92 cars. My offer of 60k was refused on a 90 model with 38k last December by a dealer and prices have hiked by some since.

Buyers Beware!
I spent the day yesterday flying from Denver to Houston to buy a 1992 964 Coupe at the local Porsche Dealer with 91K miles. I had been waiting for clear pictures and a mechanical inspection report for 3 weeks and finally decided to fly down and see the car. They promised "I would love the car and wouldn't be disappointed". Well, I was very disappointed. I knew within 1 minute the car was not well cared for and it showed. The car still had the engine tray installed and as most of us should know this is detrimental to the life of the motor. Prior to my visit I requested a leak-down and they quoted me $960????? Really, for a 964 NA.
The car could be made nice, however, for their asking price of $32,964 you would be upside down and big IMO. The records showed two occasions where the car was 2 and 4 quarts plus low on oil and none of the records are from a Porsche dealer. There were many other red flags on the body and underside. I am only writing this because I don't want someone getting stuck with a car that needs potentially $15K worth of work.

now let's talk about some facts. if a clean 964 listed today for $32,964 it will not last more than 3 days until it finds a new home. if the ad hits this thread it would probably be gone within 3 hours. now if u're saying it takes them 3 weeks to get an inspection report sent to you then the story should be pretty simple then. you did the right thing by going down there to see it. glad you did! i'd think it's still fair to say if someone spend 15k on it to get it back to its glory somehow then it's still worth it. it is not right to think one can get a 964 within 35k & not to spend any money on it to make it right. again, they aren't cheap like the old days.
sorry it didn't workout out for you. keep hunting!

If you can't see yourself spending $40k, you might as well stop looking. Unless you are looking for a high-mileage project car, good examples are not going to be had for less. Ever. 964s are not represented under this so-called bubble. Simply been undervalued for a long time. $400k+ 911S aren't sustainable. $40-60k 964s are.

Hello all.
I too was looking at this car at a certain porsche dealership. They are now asking $39,964 for the C2 if I am not mistaken. I just don't see these cars coming down in price unfortunately or below 40k for that matter for a decent example. Won't stop me from looking for a good C2/C4 example as I think they are the best model Porsche has ever built minus the 964rs that is.

Yeah the high-mileage project is what I'd be looking for. I wouldn't want to buy someones garage queen. Especially if my plans were to be a weekend/track/autocross car. Maybe I should look into a salvaged title if those exist. To be honest I wish they were still undervalued HA!
