Good luck!!! I hope you get your price and it finds an owner who appreciates it. BTW I might be biased but IMO best looking color on the best looking air-cooled of all time. Although I like black interior .

Waiting for the third Cobalt Blue 3.6 to post.

Beautiful color, GLWS.

That car hasn't been seen in about 10 yers it has classic gray interior and was in rough shape when my friend sold it about 17 years back. This is a supper clean and well sorted turbo.

Seems there is a lot of issues of originality....

cobalt

The car is mostly original. It has aftermarket exhaust, tech art ducts and there has been some changes to the interior but otherwise a clean example. IMO the interior changes were an improvement, there was no place for the rootwood pieces that were removed on this car. I have done similar mods to mine although I have all the original parts. If you like cobalt blue this is one of a few world wide and one of 3 in the US. I prefer my black interior personally but this is very nice.

Sport seats are original ? Also for that price don't you think it should be all original or are you counting on the color to carry it to your out of line price? Im interested, but get real....

cobalt

No they were modified and that is hard to return but can be done. Porsche did not offer sport seats in supple leather. As the car sits vs the pictures of it I have in it's original form the car is far more impressive than stock so it all depends on a buyer and how far he is willing to let it go.

This is not my car or is it my pricing. I agree he is optimistic but pristine turbo 3.6's in rare desirable colors have come close to this asking. Originality has a lot to due with value but I have seen other cars with modified interiors command premiums due to color and the changes made over the bland stock interior. We have seen RSA's with totally reworked interiors sell fro $200k at auction so anything is possible.

As .a reference my car has 15k more miles and is similarly setup but has all the original parts plus spares. Nothing has been modified that can't be returned to stock The primary difference is my black interior. I have turned down $340k for mine despite the miles but it is one of 2 in the world with black interior and the only one in the US. I have no interest in selling at this time so they are only numbers. Very few of these cars have original paint and most are black, red, white, silver etc. You want a unique turbo in what IMO is the best color for the WB cars it is up to the buyer how much it is worth spending. I am assuming he is negotiable on price.

Should have taken for yours. People that read this aren't Amateurs. Get the pricing straight on this Cobalt and I could be a buyer. I can also list the 10 VERY noticable problems with this car excluding paintwork.

Can I send you my low mile virgin all original 3.6 for your "upgrades" package to increase the value an additional $200,000.

cobalt

I agree there are noticeable issues with this car and I am not arguing his asking for or against. I can say that the color does bring a lot of interest and people have blindly offered me these numbers based on color alone without concern for originality other than paint which mine is original and flawless. If you found a turbo 3.6 in pristine low mile condition for $140k in the past 7 years you did great for yourself. Most of what I see sell currently in the $200k+ range are poorly cobbled together crap needing all sorts of repairs and had full resprays. I know almost every turbo 3.6 in the US at least 200 out of the few remaining.

Interestingly when this car sold back in 2011 or so for $175k it started a run on these cars and 964's in general. This IMO is one of the cars that shall we say got the ball rolling. IIRC when this sold for $175k the next nearest price at the time was the signal green turbo that sold for around $100k. That car recently sold with full front end respray and exterior non returnable modifications for $320k without auction fees.

Irrespective of what someone is willing to pay I as is I am assuming is he is only willing to part with it for more than I was offered. No need to sell and I have one of one in the US which is fine by me. If it were black or other colors it wouldn't bring the premium despite the condition or originality at least that is my experience.

I can also have my car back to stock within 2 days so I don't see how that makes any difference.

OK, can't rule out Tahoe Blue Metallic.....

If you are an interested buyer, send the owner a PM with what you feel is a reasonable offer for the car. If you’re here just to blow up the guy’s asking price, even if it is ridiculous, let the market decide if they want to pay it or not. It’s a free market. The guy can ask what he wants. If he gets it, he gets it. If it sits unsold, there is his answer.

Man o man, OP is lucky to have you.... you are putting in some serious work for him!
