Keadog - The difference in the car from Truspeed motors is all in the miles. Yes, three times the miles will make that big a difference in the actual selling price.

 

The rough rule of thumb used to be that the value of a TT was approximately 100k minus the miles.

 

Good to know. I guess that will help me, since I'll be looking for one to drive and sub 30K miles on a 15 year old car sounds OK to me, assuming all else is well. I once had an '88 911 turbo cab for five years and sold it with 8900 miles on it. I'll never do that again.

 

Sounds like you are doing it again.

 

Nope. Promise. Plus, the 993s are too fun to drive to let them sit around, not "making" that much money. I learned a long time ago cars aren't an investment. The '88 turbo cab was a thrilling beast, but not all that much fun to drive, IMO. I have driven this NB '97 almost 2K miles already and I travel on business a lot, limiting my seat time.

 

I think service is a factor in value as well. I am always amazed at how many people forget that just because you have a car with 3,000 miles on it that does not mean all the service is up to date. I bought a 3,500 mile turbo a yr ago and it was cosmetically perfect like it was still sitting new in the showroom floor but I spent over 6k in service making it perfect as it had "sat" in a collection.

 

Great input from everyone. I'll be back home tomorrow and post updated pictures along with service and accessory information on Saturday. The price range of $80-$90k is about where I expected. That is in the low range of what I paid plus service work.

Thanks again for the different points of view.

 

With it's low mileage and if it's all original, this car would be a steal at anything under $90k........

 

+1

 

Money talks....BS walks. Write him a check for $89,000 and lets clear this trade

 

I am glad that's settled!

 

I never understood that once you hit 60K miles or so...
I mean, an 80K mile turbo is then $20K?

OK, I'll take 3 please.

Excellent SY turbo...
Find the right buyer (I know, duh) and $85K+ is my .02c

 

I'll take the 100,000 mile car for $0. The formula doesn't make sense, sorry

 

Dang. With that formula, I'd have to pay someone $25,000 to take Rufus off my hands!

 

Steve - I'm waiting
