Default TT values - Question

Curious as to RL thoughts. If an unmolested pristine 993 TT with 30k miles is "valued" at $155-160 range is a 80-90k miles TT with new top end, rebuilt turbos and new suspension of equal value?

uh...no, not even close.

90k mile turbo, even with those repairs, is around a $100k to $105k car, if that.

Look in the classifieds! Silver/black low mile just sold. We don't know the price but a wild guess would be $190k! So depends on color/condition etc etc.
A silver/black tt with 90k miles that have been cared for would be more than what quad said in my book. A beater 90k mile car would maybe be less.

I'd be extremely surprised if that silver/black car got $190k. The only TTs bringing that now that I've heard of are pure collectors, less than 10k miles.

There was an Arena Red TT with about 80k miles with a recent overhaul that struggled to sell for $115k a month or two ago.

My guess it a TT in great shape with new top end, turbos, suspension and 90k miles would actually sell around $100-110k, but would be listed at $140k.

yeah, if you spend some time looking, the really high priced cars are not selling.

Well it sold and was advertised for $210k. Only the seller and buyer knows what it went for. Maybe he "only" got $150k? But I doubt it........

Good low mile cars still seems to sell at high prices. Just harder to find those exceptional cars. Good thing mine has almost 60k miles so I can enjoy it as much as I can.

Anything's possible, and I have no idea what it actually sold for, but I'd argue that if someone gave $190k for it they overpaid.

+1. None of those under 20K milers asking $250K have moved in the past year. If you do a search of the pricing discussions here and completed e-bay sales, you'll find actual sales are in the $160K range. Yes, there are some auctioned outliers but they're not representative. For example...

^^^I would say that's reaching, but, I don't know of too many 7200 mile Turbo's S's on the market. There are several S's in St. Louis for sale in the high 300's.

Turbo asking prices and actual resale values have been very far apart this year.

I have noticed a lot of cars with high asking prices sitting parked.

Parked 993s can lead to top end jobs...

Yeah, that dealer really went all in on 993TTSes. Lots of expensive inventory to be sitting on.

Are you asking this as a seller or a buyer?
