Value/Price of 930's

[Muzzer911]

Back in 2005 (pre kids), I owned this 1986 930 - B17 BHP.

I bought it from an independent Porsche dealer in Chertsey (cant remember the name), for £22,000.

The kids are older now and I was looking at getting another 930 but the costs have sky-rocketed. I know I've been out of the loop for 10 years, but are 930's really £70K+ and 3.2's £30k?

Surely £35K+ would be more accurate.

Thoughts please as these are now well out of my price range (hindsight hey!!).

Value now start around £55k upwards private. These will all need money, spent as work will be needed each year. As for your own value £35k five years ago.In pre 07 under 20k or just over. Luckily bought mine, then no one wanted a 930.It's a very small market, for a buyer and a seller.I came near to selling mine a few months ago what with working away more lack of use. Got a very good offer, unseen from a dealer. He would have added on a easy 20k.
As you have found out,now people are being priced out the market. A fire damage one, sold two years ago for nearly 40k.
I saw a cab for sale, with dealer at a show last weekend. Priced £109k 61k miles and all the big bills,to follow within five years of ownership. This in turn makes it a £150k very fast.

It seems that values are now pricing enthusiasts out of the market. A 3.2 looking as good as your 930 picture could easily be £50k, a £35k car would need work. The 3.2 prices may have stabilised over the last year, however, everyone I've spoken to recently, with a good 3.2, seem to have valuations around £45k.

Hi Muzzer

Just had a free valuation from Porsche Club on mine for agreed value insurance £120,000.00
1989 LE 1 x previous owner 56,000 miles

This is why 996 Turbos and 997 ones are making such sense.

Yes 996 turbo, makes a great buy now before they follow the 930 route.

996 mass produced (someone I hope will say more many) someone stated to me only 930, 930's sold in UK between 1978 and 1989 so 11 years only 84.5/year on average

So quite rare really

Hi Philip
Values as you say are crazy but is the current market values.
Nice 930 picture you posted, I believe I am the current owner of this vehicle now. VIN WP0ZZZ93ZHS000321.
Have had the car for just over a year now and it has its original plate of D437 HBM back on.
Would be great to share details of your time and my time with the car and you can contact direct on j.kidd2@sky.com be happy to show you how the car looks now.
I will be at the Silverstone National event where the car is entered in the concourse competition.
Hope to hear more of your time with B17 BHP.
