Hi Guys,
I am thinking of selling my 1984 Carrera 3.2 Coupe. Problem is getting a realistic value in mind, I don't wish to either undervalue or overvalue the car which as everyone knows can stop a sale dead in its tracks if overvalued. The car has covered 93,570 mls, upgrades are to the tie rods (Turbo) and the front and rear fuse panels (Classic Retrofit). Wevo gear shifter along with a Stomski Racing gear shift coupler. The car runs on 16" Fuchs rims all removed parts have been retained. There looks to be a full service history from its date of purchase which was included in a folder. Original panel vehicle with no impact damage. Interior is first class with no issues to seating or headlining.





 
Beautiful looking car, looks like one of the better ones. As someone who has been looking for the right car at the right price for sometime, I have noticed that a lot of owners seem to value there cars well into the 30s and these cars seem to be forsale forever and I don't know if they ever sale. I've also noticed that some of these that have been forsale for months with no luck ultimately end up being put in to auction. I think if you want to sell your car in the near future you have to be very realistic.
 
I'd take a slightly different view. Everyone seems to think their 3.2 is immaculate, mechanically perfect and worth north of £40k and undoubtedly, the best ones are (with the delivery mileage cars being advertised at Hexagon for double that). The reason why many remain unsold is that on inspection they turn out to be anything but those things mentioned above. Then there's the curved ball of insurance valuation, which is based on how much you would have to pay to buy a car with an identical spec. to your own. People price their car in accordance with this figure which is just dreaming - my car is valued at £48k but I'd be very surprised if I could get anywhere close to that, should I try to sell it at present values. And it IS a very good one.
So bearing all that in mind, taking into account the positives of condition, relatively low mileage, colour, history etc. and the negatives of 915 gearbox (like it or not, it is a factor), I reckon your 911 must be £35 - 40k all day long (as cheeky chappy Mike Brewer would say...).
 
Why would you want to sell that ..........................you will never get another as nice as that, keep it you know it makes sense

I agree with Graham, I paid 37k for my silver 3.2 targa last summer, with 92k miles and full service history and 2 files of papers. Probably over paid a bit, but it was love at first sight!
