944 Values?

Wallachie · Jan 14, 2016

Another car has come up that I'm hoping to try and buy, and to do so I'm going to have to scrape every penny I have together to buy it.

If it happens, I will need to sell my 1985.5 944 Lux. Prices are absolutely all over the place though so I would have no idea what to ask for it.

I bought it as a bit of a project, mechanically it's very sound and has a great service history and folder full of invoices. 130k miles.

Bad parts are the bodywork which is a bit rough around the edges, passenger sill at the rear isn't in great condition, various scratches and age related marks. I was planning on respraying the car and had recently left it in to the bodyshop for them to start on when they were ready. However, I think now I will just get that sill replaced, MOT the stick it up for sale.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Dependent upon condition between £1200 - £2400 depends how quick you want to sell it. Still a lot of cars out there, I'm looking for another one and the same cars have been hanging around for ages. I don't think prices are going to go dramatically North unless you have a very low mileage turbo in perfect condition or a cup car (silly money for this but worth every penny).
As a buyer of a second one I think it's a buyers market but everyone will have an opinion on this.

I'd recommend keeping it.

Good luck.

Thanks Jase.

Initially I had thought perhaps £2k would be a reasonable price for it. I've had a bit of work undertaken to it recently with all new brakes, new (reman) front calipers & pins, full service and a few other little jobs sorted, rear wiper removed etc.

I had planned on a full respray, but for now I think I'll just get the nearside sill fixed and get the car MOT'd. It'll need to go to make room for this other car I'm trying to buy, but I won't know if it's definitely going to happen until mid February!
