"Excellence" article values versus REALITY~

There is another thread started by harborman that talks about the annual fantasy article on the 928 in Excellence magazine. It is always fun to read, and it is neat to see that in the past few years my car has gone up in value about $1000.

But is that realistic?

Now, I know that the condition of a car makes a huge difference in its value, and the article's "condition" section is rather coarse: excellent, good, fair, poor, but it still makes me wonder what the general consensus is as to what percentage of the stated values is reality. For example, if his article rates my car as worth $11,000....what is the reality?

The answer I am interested in developing, from consensus....is an average percentage.

To start the debate, I'll add my personal opinioin: I suspect reality is between 85-90% of what the article states.

Again, there are plenty of variables that are not being brought into play here....such as ROW car versus USA car, which can make or break a deal, depending upon the buyer. We are just looking for a ballpark figure.

Thoughts?
