Hi Folks,
Some advice from the 964 massive please? I'm struggling to decide.
I'm fortunate enough to have a couple of manual 964 C2's. The car pictured below is, I think, a bit of an 'awkward' case however and here's why...
Service History is poor. The previous owner undertook his own work on the car from 2010 to 2013. I bought the car in 2013 and stored it in a dry garage pending use etc. It has not had a great deal of use since then and neither has it been serviced regularly every year. In 2015 I took it to a local Specialist and they got in amongst the car with a raft of bills totalling almost £4k (including a weld on a chassis-leg). It came out looking and driving really well. I then locked it away again ( I know! I know!) and buggered off to work in Europe for a few years.
I'm now back and have been considering what to do with it. He has a current MOT to Feb 2018 with no advisories and a bit of paint to smarten him up. 114K on the clock. A few leaks from his bottom but they all do that Sir...
There's one part of me that feels he should be sold immediately and used properly (I really don't have the time) and the other part of me feels that investing (yes THAT word!) more money would be the right move. If I sell, I really don't know what to price it at....although it's obvious that manual C2's are amongst the rarest 964's. If I keep, I really don't know what it'll be worth in the future nor how much to put in to it. I suspect I will not keep it anyway...lovely though it is.
What sayeth ye all? Sell? (and at what price considering the above?) or restore and sell?
And I know I've been a bit lazy and should've tried harder but I've been too busy! Leave me alone!.....[
