euro 85 carrrera worth?

Hello,

I just looked at a euro 85 carrera. It looks like it was brought over by the orig owner quite a few years ago and has the proper emisions paperwork.

It is black on black with 107k miles, it does have a tail, but looks aftermarket (or did the euro cars have a different tail?) the current owner has some paperwork on the car , but not all the way back. Things I do have papers on are:

new bilsteins all the way around, new rotors/pads, new ball joints, wheels bearings repacked/replaced...new speed sensor on the motor. The car has the newer 8way power 911 seats, it has been repainted, but looks like it was a good job.

The engine has a couple small oil leaks, but looks dry for the most part, since I don't have all the maintaince history I am going to have a leakdown test done. Is there any other big items I should look for?

Also, as far as it being a euro car, what does that mean for differences? Does the engine have more power? Is it more desirable? This car does have a sun roof, and it does still have a cat on it, it didn't seem to have any more power than an 86 I have driven recently.

Thanks for the help,

Tony
