It is going to depend on what the potential buyer is looking for. The engine mods, may scare some folks off. I think you are in the ballpark with the $35-40K range.
On a side note, my 4 year old and 15 month old ride in the back of the turbo some. My daughter loves going for rides it in. Not a daily basis though.

I bought this car 4 years ago with the help of the good people on this board.
I'm thinking about moving on - I have not found a booster seat solution in the back that makes me feel good about driving more than a mile or two with my 7 or 4 year old back there. So a sedan may be the inevitable practical call.
I just checked autotrader.com to get a sense of values and it was no help. It seems like 965 values have stayed strong from 4 years ago, however - I didn't see a car listed for under $34k. Any help on what the value of this car might be? I traded email with Michael B (a previous owner of the baby) and he still feels great about the engine upgrades he made on this car back in 2000/2001 and remembers the 2001 PCA Concours win with it.
Thanks.

I remember when Michael got into the motor. I think he said he had the motor out to detail it and found a broken head stud. So while he was in their...he added a few tweeks. Excellent stuff! I believe the X33 cam grinds are the same as the SC.
These upgrades add value. Especially when you factor in who did the work.

I've owned the 965 that this thread refers to since 2003 and I've toyed on-and-off with selling. I've put some ads up on the local Craigslist at $43,500 and have gotten a bunch of bites, but no visits.
Am I priced too high for a car with 87,000 miles and 4 owners?

I thought it interesting that you said (way back when) you wanted a car that wasn't necessarily super fast, but _felt_ fast. Personally I think these cars are the other way around - they are faster than they feel (likely due to the high gearing and high speed stability (IMO))...

I don't own one so take my opinion sparingly.. For an average condition driver that needs no work, this is closer to a dealer lot price, not private retail.
I have been looking for a 964t for a few months and the drivers sitting on dealer lots for $43k - $49k are not selling.
The one that got away and sold quick had 60k miles for $53k in concourse condition, (all original, no mods whatsoever, not even exhaust)
This is now my baseline in my search as far as price to condition to miles ratios.
