Tough pricing question: 1988 Carrera

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All:

I'm out of garage space and don't think my wife will park in the driveway forever. I never thought I'd sell this car and am aware I won't get what it is worth, but I'm really curious what you all think is a fair price for my car.

Thank you in advance,

Kevin

1988 911 Carrera
187,xxx miles
Located in north Florida

This car has a clean Florida title but it was hit before I purchased it in May 2000 and sold at insurance auction. A PPI, nearly eight years of use, and multiple subsequent mechanics have never turned up a problem related to the accident or evidence of any structural damage. The car did receive a full respray before I bought it and it still looks very good.

This car is one of the Ferry Porsche “signature” edition cars. This was a cosmetic only package, consisting of “diamond blue metallic” (or marine blue metallic depending on the source) paint, ruffled leather seats in blue metallic with Ferry Porsche embroidered signature headrests, color-matched wheels, and “silk velour” carpets in silver grey. This isn’t a collector car but the color combo gets constant compliments from the gas station to PCA events.

Factory Options:
C03 - California type car
153 - Engine parts belonging to a stipulated assembly for type 951 (I have no idea what this means, but I’m sure it’s cool. )
243 – Shorter gear shift lever
498 – w/o rear model designation
650 – Electric sunroof
980 – Ruffled leather interior

Aftermarket Changes:
The original owner knew what he was doing and set the car up well with Turbo-width 16” wheels (body colored like the original), turbo tie rod ends, and Bilstein shocks. He also added a stainless steel exhaust which I believe was made by B&B. It looks nice and will sound great to you and your friends though your spouse will consider it louder than necessary.

Known issues:
- The AC compressor is on its way out. It cooled this summer but was not strong and is spraying a bit of oil at the seal. The rest of the system is tight.
- The driver’s side seat bolster has been bugging me as it is worn. It has no cracks or tears but really should be redyed to look nice.
- The dashboard has developed a crack.
