‘89 Carrera Coupe
This car sounds really nice. If it has never been wrecked, with original paint and documented low miles (really perfect?), I would value it quite high. Metallic slate grey with linen interior is a nice color combo, maybe $5k over the more common colors (mainly red and white, to a lesser degree black). Make sure it has 9” rear Fuchs. The options are nice as well. Being the last year of the classic G series adds a bit of sentimental value as well.
While many 3.2’s are known to need their valve guides replaced somewhat early, they still have the very stout bottom end and no bearing problems (with proper maintenance of course). This car is worth enough money that I feel the owner should pay for a proper PPI to confirm the engine’s health (this will help sell the car quickly if all is well). The G50 should be in good condition with that few miles.
I could find very few normal Carrera coupes currently for sale, but it was shocking how many were red, white and black. Out of 50 to 60 1989 cars (most were convertibles, targas, or turbos) only a few were silver, one was blue, and one was slate metallic grey.
With a clean engine bill of health a U.S. spec “classic” Carrera (not a 964) as described should be in the $75k to $85k range. I don’t know the impact of being a Canadian model, so my estimate is for a U.S. spec car.
