After 22ish years of ownership, the time has (sadly) finally come to sell my 1980 911SC, and I'm frankly a bit overwhelmed with trying to figure out the best way to do that. I have no real clue about how I should be thinking of its current value. And I have no real clue regarding how to obtain that maximum value with the least amount of hassle. I have zero interest in fielding calls from Craigslist idiots, but the car is also not some kind of fancy show car that merits a real bespoke sales option. I mean, it's nice enough and all, but it also has all of the usual wear and tear one would expect from a car that hasn't been pampered (including before I got it). I would love any opinions or advice that you fine people can offer. Thank you so very much in advance.
The basics:
1980 911SC sunroof coupe.
Just under 115K miles.
Light blue metallic with black interior.
Except for things that were worn out and replaced, I'm pretty sure everything is all original.
I don't know of any accidents.
Not sure exactly what options it had from the factory, but I believe these are the sport seats (???).
I think the original owner was in California, and somehow it ended up with an Oregonian, from whom I bought it in roughly 2000. That guy knew nothing about cars, so he never pursued any info on the car's pedigree. In the time I've owned it, I think it was in the summer rain one time.
Starts and runs well (just took it out to snap a few quick pics), although a touch cold-blooded like most.
There's a ton of cosmetic things that a person could improve upon if so interested. I had that interest, but then life changed and I just didn't get around to bothering with them.
Included here are a few pics I just took. The car is in dire need of a wash and wax, but I haven't been able to drive it until recently (due to a broken wrist and 2 surgeries), so it's been getting dusty in the garage.
