Wow if this sells for what they are asking I think we all need to go an update our insurance valuations, or someone is having a giraffe.


EDIT: Funny thing is there is another new listing for a partial project 944 Turbo for £4.5K, just puts it into perspective.
 
Unless it's one of the original Silberosa cars, with low owners and around 20k miles, I don't see many turbos being worth over £25k. I don't see an average 968 CS being worth more than £25k either.
 
Strangely no interior photos. The advert claims that engine in this turbo S has larger exhaust valves than the none S versions, which isn't true as far as I can remember.
 
Plenty of us know that many 88/89 cars had Turbo S parts fitted after Porsche went back on their original plan to limit production to around 1000 cars. Really that bit of paper with the options on it, matters most to traders, and the gullible willing to pay £1000's more for it today. Back in 2007 when I was looking for a 250 bhp Turbo, the S was usually selling for around £1k more, and that was only because it had better suspension, brakes and no sunroof.
 
Bit like the other lunatic that was asking £30k for an automatic 968 with low miles. Seen it has been reduced a couple of times since. I browse the classifieds often and there are several high priced 968s, 928s that have been for sale for months, possibly even a couple of years. Yet they still seem to persevere at the inflated pricing :ROFLMAO:

You could build a pretty sweet and much better than that stock car 944 Turbo for £50k.
 
Wishful thinking, even though they are great cars. Loved my ’44 Turbo, but can’t justify multiple Porsches like most of the newer intake members of PCGB now.

I wouldn't be surprised if Penguinracer was heading towards £50k with his special 944 turbo build. The 911 workshop not far from me, that was building it has closed. I wonder where the car is now.
 
18 years ago I bought a 944 turbo because I thought it was the best performance car for around £8k. I came close to buying a mint E36 M3 Evo too, the engine was better but the chassis wasn't. Today the 944 turbo is a great classic car, but there are fast awd hatchbacks I'd buy first.
 
Hagerty's is your best guide to current values. The lowest is over £11k while concours is over £34k..

Many years ago when I used to attend Ford RS shows, the concours winners had to be completely standard, without a sticker out of place. Your car looks amazing in the latest pictures Pete, but with the engine modifications would Hagerty value it lower? Same with Mark K's red turbo. The only frontrunner I'd pay anywhere near £30k for today, would be a 968 RS turbo recreation.

Not sure about hagerty's but at a classic car show 2 years ago a 968 owner took a likely to my car. In his opinion my car was a £30k car all day long. His words not mine...🙂

Not really sure, there was some talk around the car, I do though remember saying it wasn't for sale. In my defence my memory is pretty bad just now, according to my ITU doctor it takes time to recover from a general aneshetic, more so after havjng 4 in as many weeks, one of which nearly finnished me for good...🙃

TBH if I was ragging a 400bhp car, with 220 bhp brakes and suspension, I'd be quite twitchy.

Never had a problem with the brakes, or should I say not since my son rebuilt them a long time ago. I of course need to rebed them after the car has been left standing for a while.....😉
 
Up to you Pete, but Porsche uprated the brakes when they went from 220bhp to 250 bhp. Going to 400 bhp, work it out for yourself.

I hear you mate....I don't drive fast these, the days of 170+mph ( on the continent of course) are long behind me....🤣
 
(Simon's?) modified White 16v 944 Turbo was listed for £18k last year, not sure if he got that for it, but I wish I'd bit his arm off at the time.

These cars are niche in the UK, more of a following in the USA, and you just make your market even smaller when you modify the car.

I've seen the same standard cars for sale for over a year now cause the owners have unrealistic expectations around price.
 
Simon's was an S2 to begin with, so that won't help, but yeah, I'd have paid £18k for it.

All other cars only worth what someone will pay for them, whatever that may be. Most of us won't be selling any time soon. The bigger question is agreed value for insurance, mine is up next month and it was £27.5k last time. I will struggle to get near that this time. Valuations through my insurer (Classicline) last 2 years.
