I need a little help...well actually, a lot.

I looked at and drove an extremely nice '86 944 Turbo today that I'm thinking about adding to my small collection that includes a 25k mile '91 NSX and a 50k '87 911 Turbo Look Cab.

The car is a black on black '86 944 Turbo with 64k miles. I'm extremely picky, and would rate the car as a very strong 9 out of 10. It has all original paint, with only a very few flaws in it (a couple of very small door dings that could be taken out, and a few small touched up rock chips). The interior is like new, and the factory options include limited slip, sport seats, M030 suspension, power sunroof, leather interior, heated driver's seat, and a few other I cannot remember right now.

The owner has owned the car since 1989, and has added a few upgrades: Konis, 3" Fabspeed Turbo back exhaust, upgraded front and rear sway bars, cross drilled rotors, Authority chip, K&N filter. In addition, all the services are up to date, and the water pump, belts, bearings, front reseal are all done about a year ago.

I don't know the 944 market at all, so I was wondering what you guys thought this car might realistically be worth.

Thanks!
