The interior. It’s completely subjective but Porsche people, (me), can be very picky and OCD about the cars. The ‘84 is the first year and kept the 911SC interior, (desirable year), and the 1986 was a watershed year with the bigger A/C vents, improved shifter and last year of the 915 transmission. When the ‘85 came out, the new seats were so tall in the car that they looked ugly and Porsche realized it and lowered them an inch or two in the tub for 1986.

The 1987-89 are of course the G50 cars which are valued more in the market but I greatly prefer the lighter 915 cars. An ‘86 is the best, all things being equal but of course they never are. Condition trumps all else at this point.
