ROW 930s value overseas
 

Seems like ROW 930s are really taking off in Europe. $100,000 is the starting price for something decent and really nice examples can fetch $200,000. Im wondering when and if we will ever reach this level of appreciation?

A single data point, I sold my RoW 930 at full asking price early last year, via broker to a German buyer. The broker told me it was much easier to bring a grey market car back home, as it were, compared to a later US model car.
Still can't believe how quick that car sold , less than a week, just before the market exploded. Stupid stupid me:(

I think you will find that there were 830 ROW 930's produced in 1980 as well. I'm pretty sure as I have one of them.

I think it has to do with the high tax that has to be paid now vs 0% to pay if taxes paid when delivered new. I've heard there is a way to get US cars in for less taxes if brought in thru Norway. For a few years now the overseas market has been a real money maker for those who buy desirable Porsche models here and sell to there.

Were you talking about ROW 930's or ROW 930S (slant nose)? there only about 30 row slants in eruope.

As do I.

Is there a breakdown of how many of each car were sent to each country?

Id like to find out how many were imported to Australia during those years

look at this 78 Martini. wonder the asking price is on it.

tonypeoni,
I think the market here in the U.S. for Europeans is so attractive for a couple of reasons. One, the obvious one, is Porsche sold many 911's here. We were/are the biggest Porsche market. Secondly, as a whole the Europeans drive their 911's HARD. The well cared for 911's per capita is higher in the U.S. than in Europe. So, I don't think it's correct to use the same attrition rate for Europe as the U.S.

Does anyone have a trustworthy broker/contact over there? PM would be appreciated.

pputkowski,
Have you tried contacting some of the Porsche Clubs overseas? The Porsche Club - Great Britain (PCGB) might be a good starting point. They may have tighter controls over would-be-brokers that may try to post services on their web.
