1989 Turbo Limited Edition

[Guest]

Hi all,

Does anyone have a price guide or know much about the following two types of turbo ?

1993 Turbo (2) 3.6.

1989 Turbo Limited Edition

Cheers

Two of the most sought after variants!
Just seen a Turbo 2 3.6 sell for over £40k, and one of the best 930 LE's I've seen for a long time went for £35k a few months back.

.....nearly forgot....there's a black, delivery mileage 930 LE for sale at the moment around the £50k mark!

Crickey I must have good taste or something.

Both look fantastic but in different ways to each other. I trust cars like these come up for sale rarely. I see only 50 of the 1989 limited edition models were produced.

Do you know how many of the turbo 2 3.6 were produced ?

Thanks
K

Having driven a good 3.6, i would strongly recommend going down that route!

Do you know much about the reliability of these models is there anything in partiular to look out for. Must admit the 3.6 is more templting.
Thanks

 

[Guest]

Do you know how many of the turbo 2 3.6 were produced ?

5,323 over two years. Don't know how many were RHD.

 

[Guest]

how many turbo 2 1991-1992 3.3s were built do they differ much in performance

Tim can you give a brief explanation why as a see you already have a 930 and I assume are in a good position to make the comparison ?

Thanks

 

[John_Ward]

There were 42 RHD 3.6 Turbo 2's....and there's a small piece in next month's PP about the differences in price between the Turbo 2 3.3 and 3.6.

3.6

output of 360 bhp, 0-60 in 4.8 and top speed of 174 mph
ABS, 964 platform lowered by 20mm & stiffened by 12%, great 3 piece 18" wheels

compared to 3.3 930 -----

quicker, better brakes, handles more predictably but still a bit all or nothing ........

Both great fun, both require experienced driver.

I wish they had, they would be a lot cheaper![]

I'm just going by the appendix B in Paul Frere's book "Porsche 911 Story" (which I know some other members have too).

For standard production models (total production - not country or option specific), it lists:

75-77 911 turbo 3.0 2,173 260 bhp
78-88 911 turbo 3.3 19,000 approx. 300 bhp

91-92 964 turbo 3.3 1,104 320 bhp
93-94 964 turbo 3.6 5,323 360 bhp

96-98 993 turbo 3.6 6,314 408 bhp

Maybe I misunderstand the question.
When the 911 was in its 40th anniversary year, the Porsche website had a list of all the variants (more than 100) that they have produced. Unfortunately they have removed this part of the site now, which is a shame, since it was quite useful.

Hi Stuart,
If you look at the 964 3.6 numbers, i suspect they are out by a factor of 10!

I looked at buying either the Turbo LE or the 3.3 Turbo 2 (the 3.6 was out of my price range).I ended up buying the LE because
(a) the LE was rarer and so should hold it's price better.
(b)it's more proven(the T2 3.3 had a few teething problem's ,oil pipes etc)
(c) it's lighter and faster than theT2 3.3.I have had a 1 bar boost spring fitted and it is faster than a standard T2 3.6 prabably because it is lighter.
Downside no abs,more basic suspension,older style drive,ie seat of the pants,WILL BITE YOU IF NO RESPECTED,But good fun when you get it right
The prices of LE.s seem to be climbing as people realise how rare they are.
Hope this info helps,911 porsche world did a feature on

my LE and it does tell you a little more about them.

 

[Guest]

Is that the March 2004 Article ?

I appreciate cars like this are very hard to come by but what range of money am I looking at.

I like the depreciation idea especially if only 50 were ever made, I cant see it loosing any money and that is always a huge bonus as I.

Might take my time get some of the 911 books and have fun hunting.

Anything in particular to look out for on the 930 LE

I appreciate cars like this are very hard to come by but what range of money am I looking at.

Even though there are only 50 of them, the usual rules still apply at the moment, and you could pay anywhere between £20k and £50k depending upon mileage, condition and history.......not everybody is going to get as lucky as Chris!

I think you will struggle to find out much in porsche books as it seems to have been overlooked as so few wre built.I only found one article on the net,this being a bullitin from Porsche about the build sheet.
Prices seem to have increased since the Porsche world article came out.People have seen that you can get a SE spec turbo without the flat nose.I would say a reasonable LE would go for 25k+ if you can find one that is.I think the LE is still an investment sleeper(SE's seem to start at 35k +)and possibly rarer.However i do have one so i'm bias.

Just in passing, someone sent me an e-mail today fowarding a note from Coys (the auction house) indicating that they have a 1989 Turbo LE in an upcoming auction (on 5th March) which has the grand total of 189 miles on the clock!!!

I hate to think what state that engine is in, but the last LE they had (with 9000 miles on the clock) went for around £33,000 - I wonder what this one will bid up to?

Best regards
