Question:Prices of 3.6 Turbo

Wonder if someone can give me a ball park figure of what you would expect to pay for a 3.6 Turbo.

Thanks
 
Recent prices for a good condition 3.6 with 30-50k miles has been £40-45k. from dealers such as Gmund and Paragon.
Private may be cheaper and mint low mileage higher. A good PPI is essential because if you buy right prices are going up.
42 came to UK but a lot have gone abroad now.
 
I agree with Jonny. I have seen a few higher mileage (70k+) cars at £35k but they do seem to hang around. 964 turbos are expensive to run and can easily devour £10k just in brakes, clutches, exhausts, turbos, oil leaks etc, so as Jonny says get a PPI from someone who knows 964 turbos - Peter Morgan comes to mind.
 
Cheapest I have seen recently was the 19k mileage car at Northways for £42,995 and it went to Eire! and the lowest was £26k 2 years ago for a LHD 80km car again at Northways.

If you are definately after one you need to get your funds ready and be prepared to wait up to a year or so for the right car to come along!
 
There are 3 Turbo's for sale, 2 in Piston heads and one in Autotrader. 2 are 34K and one 26K. Are these actually at the right price but garages are just overpricing them. Will these cars be holding their money or would it be worth going a little further and pick up a 993 TT for sub 40K?
 
Mid to high £30k's is about right for a rhd 3.6 964 Turbo. £26k is about bang on for a good rhd 3.3 964 Turbo.

Expect the 3.6 especially to keep its value - the quantity produced compared to almost every other Turbo model is tiny.
 
Here's something to ponder, even if the topic of potential investments are a bit of a taboo subject in light of the present climate....

My car was 53k when new 15yrs ago, it's worth the same money today...I estimate the car then to have been worth circa 100k in today's money. It has been purchased several times by 'Paragon' since 2001 and on every occasion a larger sum has had to be paid for it than the last!

Personally I'm not really concerned by values, but in today's climate can you really derive as much fun from watching 'city fund manager' mess around and possibly loose your hard earned? Compare the thrill of that to being behind the wheel of your own, one of a limited run of 83 RHD - 964 3.6 Turbo. [;)]

Your car new was closer to £80k new with options (I think you've quoted the price for the base 964 C2) so in today's money your car probably cost the equivalent of £160k! Even so, I entirely agree with your point.
 
Tim

I'm guessing you'll agree 160k or 100k, like your Zermatt version she's worth a million smiles a mile to me !

Interesting revision on the figures though, thanks.

Andy - absolutely!

The 3.3 was around £73k in 1991 when it was announced - right in the middle of the last recession, so you can see why Porsche was struggling in the early 90's. There was a lot of hand finishing in those days - reflected even today in the relative cost of parts for a 964 vs. a 996. I believe a brand new front wing for a 996 turbo is c.£350, the same part for a 964 turbo - c.£850. As is so often said, they simply don't make them like they used to!

You can probably tell I've spent far too much time researching 964 turbos...

Cheers,

Tim.

Thank you, although I think my wife may have a different opinion. [;)] My knowledge is nothing compared to some of the guys on Rennlist though...so if you've got any questions, try posting there as you'll almost certainly get the answer. Feel free to pm me too - I'm always happy to help a fellow 965 owner!

Cheers.

Tim.



 
I think you'll find that a 964 3.6 turbo was nearer to £90K in 1993. I was shown an invoice for a 964 3.6 turbo S in Ferrari Gelb (yellow) which was £130K. Nothing like the 3.3 turbo S. The only difference was around 400bhp and two small splitters on the front PU. Current prices for a proper car IMO would be between £40 and £45K. A mate in France now owns the Ferrari Gelb car and I owned a black with black piped red for some 8 years. Reluctantly sold to buy the best rear wheel drive only air cooled pork that was ever built. A true super car but an absolute animal.
 
Graeme,

The value debate may go on I'm sure.... what I can now confirm however, having tracked the original bill of sale for my car, is that it was sold for 54k; what however that is worth in todays money is the area for some deliberation.

Regards
 
Hi Guys,

I have a K'92 3.3 turbo registered 1st August 1992 and the bill for the sale is £81,216. With options included. I bought the car in march this year, it was one owner and came with all the bills from OPC (you do need to sitdown when reading them and then stand up when you realize someone else paid).

Hope this may be of some help.

Andy I have really enjoyed reading your last few posts and can't wait to see your car on sunny day next year. My car is in paint at the moment having a rear bumper painted. Then its all about Zymol.

Thanks

Paul
 
Update...

Well as I said "The value debate may go on".......the promised bill of sale arrived with me today and turned out not to be the 'original', but from a Nov-1996 purchase at Lancaster Cambridge (39000miles), costing 55k.

So as a recap it has been suggested that the 3.3 / 3.6cc original list prices in early '90's would have been:

3.6 cc from Zermatt - £160k,
3.3 cc from graeme36s - £90k
3.3cc from baker07 - £81.216k

Also some recent searching established that 'minty' has worn a number of plates since 10-5-93, starting with the well known K876XRX, then ....911 HUL, K749PTP, MSG75, K699LMM, ADZ945, K113GFL, UDP2, BIL7073.

My search for knowledge about the history of my car goes on...........
 
"Mint - 964 3.6cc Turbo"

Andy, you need to go back to school and relearn your metric units [:D] It should be 3.6L or 3600cc [;)]

Thanks Harry,
