Hi all
I recently bid on an ebay item that gives the costs of all Porsches when new in 1986, some very interesting prices that may surprise you. Ok so my car is 1986 which is why I bid on the item , I already new that it cost £33k , so much for a poor mans Porsche ( I bought a house in 1986 that cost me £26k..lol) but it's interesting when compared to other cars in the range.
Some prices for you to look at, these are the price for the basic car including car tax and VAT but not including any options, btw i have a complete list for option prices too.
924S £17,484.03
944lux £21,673.76
944S £23,997.25
944Turbo £32,440.26
911Carrera £31,149.57
911Cabriolet £34,241.73
911Turbo £46,940.50
911TurboLE £86,443.40
928S4 £46,534.37
There are more prices with such things as sport equipment which is basically what the LE is although the broucher describes it as a sports package but the drawing has the LE wings hence why I labeled as such.
I think you'll agree all cars in the range were far from a poor mans car and the 944 turbo was in fact more expensive than the humble 911 carrera, as for which car was better value for money well I think we all know the answer to that as did the road tests of the day.... the 944 was the better car in every conceivable way.... read the road tests guys... but hey.. shssss don't tell everyone.....[
