944 Market
- Thread starter ChasR
- Start date
There will probably be many cars that are 1 of 1 as the options list and colour / trim options were many, I recently came across a Rubystone 944 S2 , non sunroof with bridge spoiler and only 37k on the clock, can't be too many of those about. I would think your car would be priced as per any other MY90 Turbo of similar mileage and condition, except that a certain purchaser may prefer the non sunroof and pay more whereas someone who wants a sunroof may disregard it completely. We can all speculate what we think our cars are worth but ultimately at the point of sale it's what the buyer is prepared to pay, fortunately it looks like buyers are increasingly prepared to pay more for the right cars. Cheers, Paul

Probably fair comment Paul. However the S2 you mention is very rare with no sunroof. I do know of a late black turbo with no sunroof also but in general non sunroof series 2 cars (outwith turbo s) are extremely rare beasts in UK spec. And yes, values for these fine cars are definitely on the up. About time too! Cheers Stuart

Stuart, your car is indeed a rare car as nearly all 944 Turbo's (excluding the Turbo S) seem to have been sold with the sunroof option. This was in a time where it was a must have option on most cars and when you were paying £35-40k on a Porsche what was an extra £1200!! It's like buying a Cayenne, X5 or Range Rover Sport today, you would never dream of ordering one without Sat Nav and leather [:-] Having the M030 and CS wheels is an added bonus also for your car and does make it unique and to lots of people (me included) a car that would be nice to own.

No Turbo badge or rear panel script and that tail pipe, rear-end shunt [8|]

Indeed. Porsche Cars GB treated the sunroof as standard at the time, hence every Lux seeming to have one. I didn't know there was an option not to have it until I saw a car without it and asked.

I assumed that was a mistake...[ORIGINAL: Eldavo The advert says "0 seats" [
] I'm not sure that the delete of the rear decal means a rear-end shunt? Exactly the sort of thing you shouldn't do to the cars, of course, but perhaps there's a canny buyer who'd spot the silly mod and knock the price by panicking the seller....What an amazing thread! From all the opinions and snippets of information it seems clear that the range of prices is now huge, and the average has certainly gone up. This makes the OPs job really tough. How can you tell when one at the higher price is not hiding a big bill? I'm not sure you can. I just hope he manages to find a decent one at a decent price. Good luck! Chris 87 220T (74k, and probably rather average condition, but jolly good fun,if anyone cares).
It's very interesting watching the adverts appear and also to track how long many of these cars have actually been on sale for. I think it's very important for anyone reading this to follow the buyer beware advice and check the car thoroughly and pay for a ppi with a reputable provider who knows these cars. I have yet to find one that I would want to purchase but I'm not in a rush. Thanks
