will sell for £2900 if anyone wants it from here.

I have bought a centre tray, just waiting for it to arrive.
 
2900 for a lux mmm.
No reserve auction , lets hope it doesnt go for 695 then :)
Nice looking Lux though
 
I certainly wouldnt sell it for £695. the cars not concourse, but worth every penny of £2900.
 
Why are 944's so cheap? Surely they have got go up in price with rust free ones becoming hard to find.

Look at what you can buy an early Boxter for.............its all about what money people do or dont have these days I`m afraid.

Two examples recently...............

I bought a Mk1 MX5 (Eunos) for £300 (with a hard top!!) - nothing wrong with it bar the soft top is showing its age but doesnt leak, a couple of minor oil leaks and a few dings and dents with a proven £900 parts and service bill recently, 5 months MOT and 4 brand new tyres and the a/c still works!!!! and it drives perfick - the wife is smitten with it (unfortunately)

A mate bought a one owner 170bhp Honda Aerodeck for £200 - absolutely nothing wrong with it - sweet as a nut and goes like stink - apart from a slightly dented rear offside door and a few dings and scratches commensurate with age with full service history 10months MOT and a years tax on it.

Both will be tracked later this year [;)] - dont tell the wives [8|]
 
so what, im asking or expecting too much for my virtually perfect car?

ive watched several with blatant problems and they always seem to fetch around the £2000 to £2500 mark, so for a perfect no problem car £2900 is a steal.

 
The editor of 911&PW just sold his square dash for something like £3250 having paid £1900 for it, he thought that prices were going up, well he would wouldn't he. Not sure myself.

Thing is they are so cheap and cheap to keep on the road that it is not worth selling. Ours is now relegated to only used when needed and track day work so limited mileage of 3000 per year, costs £100 to insure, ha ha ha and only being worth £1500 probably, why bother. I figure, keep it until it dies at that price and then the parts have got to be worth a bit, hey the rear screen must be worth a fair amount on its own?
 
Andy - Hairyarse - has had his similarly very good 944 Lux for sale for several months with very little interest at a similar sort of price....

There's no such thing as a "correct" price for a car, regardless of it's condition. The only thing that matters is what one person is willing to pay you for it.

There's a recession going on. The bad news from Europe, combined with unrest in the middle-east and sabre-rattling from the new-best-friends Russia and China, the uncertainty over the US elections, it all means that most people will be putting off buying a discretionary purchase like a 26-year-old Porsche they would like, but don'r really need.

I think most buyers now are vultures, no offense intended! [&:] They are looking for desperate sellers who need to move the car on, and will accept a silly offer. There are also the buyers who see a shiny Porsche for £500, and think it's a dream car. You won't convince them that yours is worth 5 times more. £3K sees a half-decent S2 or a ropey turbo on your drive; if you aren't an expert in the cars then where would your money go?

Look for buyers on forums where people know what they are talking about, such as here or Tipec, but I think you might need to accept that you could wait a long time for the right buyer, or take a hit on the price. It's just the market at the moment, classic cars and modern fast cars are over-supplied and no-one's buying at anything other than throw-away money, except wealthy collectors.

To put it into perspective, I heard of an '05 DB9 going on sale today, one owner with 11K miles, but scruffy (the car, not the owner [:D]). That will have lost c. £80K over 11K miles, and have cost thousands more each year to insure and service. The reason it only did 11K miles is because it's so impractical. A 944 would have cost him how much to run over the same time period? And, you don't care about using it to take stuff to the tip or parking it in Tescos!
 
I'm not desperate to sell it, but it's so impractical unless I can get the rear bełts fitted, which is looking like a nightmare.

So may as well give it a go, it's nearly on £695 so should go for more than that lol

He's from my home town funnily enough, my car is way better lol
 
911 & Porsche World will be Steve Bennet, youre thinking of a different magazine. Steve Bennet used to be the tea boy at Cars and Car Conversions and Ive always wondered how he landed the job 911&PW...

Mike's right, I've had little interest. I do know that mine is priced quite strongly but I'm not desperate to sell and I know it's rust free - I've had an endoscope up the sills and its metal, not rust so I'm confident about the car and it's condition so I'll wait for the right buyer.

I'm sure you'll find a buyer for yours at the right price for you - its just a waiting game!
 
Looks very straight and clean, and in my eyes probably worth that if you can get someone who knows what they are looking at, fit rear lap belts easy peezy !
 
I think you need better pictures if it is a perfect example as you say. In the pics towards the bottom it shows a wooden steering wheel, the back of the passenger seat is missing, you could do with a new cover for the gearstick (has the leather worn away?) remove the drivers mat for the pics (and the tree air freshner) and give it a good vacuum. I'd also remove the suggestion that you'll swop it for something else as it makes you look desperate and it invites fools like the guy who has asked if you'll swap it for a pool table ! Just my thoughts, for what they are worth.
 
Can I change the pics during the auction? I thought once a bid was placed I couldnt change them?? the pics were taken while vaughan had the seat back. I never thought of taking more pics, oh well ile do it today if the weather gives me a break :)

I think if you are expecting top dollar then you need to put in a top dollar advert, car looking at its best, if you have the centre tray fit it, wash and hoover the car, give it a dam good scrub and present it best you can, if you cant do that no one will even consider giving you £2900 for it...

We weighed in a primera with no interior the other week and got £250 so that honda was a bargain! The market is weird at the moment, people are (were last month had a rise a think) not buying new cars the tax puts them off and they may struggle with obtaining finance. they cannot move easily - mortgages are difficult to obtain. So some are looking at older cars, I think there is a rise in track day 944's recently - this could well be people that in more affluent times would have gone out and bought something new. I think there is also a rise in people buying older second cars as toys rather than something that is going to cost £400 a year to tax with heavy depreciation etc. they generally want to minimise their exposure. At the bottom end of the market, they are some dogs which will tend to drag down the price of the good ones. The educated buyer will be happy to spend a bit more for the right car.
