As I mentioned before, we agreed on $15k. This was before I did any market research on the fair value of these cars.

You and your buyer agreed on a price. You have a deal in play.
Check the laws in your state, but if there's been a deposit paid, that deal is binding.
That you didn't do your research before selling is unfortunate and may it serve as an expensive lesson in how not to sell your car.

Even if this is legally permitted, you might give some thought to how this reflects on your personal integrity. I was raised to believe that a person should keep her/his word. If the potential $5k+ is worth more than your honor, by all means, go ahead and try to squeeze out the last $5k+ out of your buyer.
I'm a big believer in car karma and maybe in letting this go, you'll be 'allowed' to snag a deal a few $k below market value on your next ride. In the end, that $5k+ is inconsequential if you're dabbling in the Porsche world.
