Will be offering my 1986 930 for sale

[Ronnie's.930]

It's hard to believe that two people in the same thread advocate the stock steering wheel; perhaps one of the ugliest pieces of OEM **** ever used by a manufacturer! If a potential buyer is somehow swayed off of a car due to the lack of the OEM wheel, then he/she/it does not deserve to buy it.

And harder to sell a car because it is guards red? Utter rubbish/nonsense/hogwash!

[TURBO TALES]

Very Very nice car with good mods! Hate to see you sell it and having all the stock parts is a major bonus.

I agree with Ronnie. The stock wheel is the worst!!. First thing i changed on both of mine!
I can't imagine what my 89 with 17k miles is going to be worth one day? But just love owning and driving a 930 so probably will never sell it.

If a seller had 3 identical 930s for sale, red, black and white the Guards red would most likely sell last and for the least, and btw my 930 is guards red. Simple economics, supply and demand, a lot more Guards red Porsches were manufactured than any other color. It has nothing to do with the color not being pretty enough, I love it but its just very common.

I'd love to spend about 30 minutes looking it over for all the details of a well preserved car.

Yes, the stock wheel is ugly, mines in a box.
GR is a great color, wouldn't deter me at all.

I love stock wheel, great feel, good grip and I like the size.

proper momo monte carlo was among the first changes. just the look and feel transformed my 930. of the 3 930's I have owned...all had the monte.

Funny thing is whenever I take anyone out for a ride or anyone sits in my car they all comment on the steering wheel. I love it.

Rarely the case to have three identical cars where color is the 'only difference'. Usually there are other factors that come into play these days; condition, miles, originality, etc.
Can you share that color data you have, because I've always heard black and silver were more common than red in 930s.

I agree but my example was hypothetical. Just did a quick search on ebay under Porsche 911 1978-1998

35 Red
24 Black
12 silver
21 white
8 other

930s there were:
12 Red
9 Black
2 white
1 yellow
5 others

Colors make a big difference when valuing a Porsche. Buddy been trying to sell an arena red WB coupe, priced aggressively, he can't give it away.

^^^ That is so funny to me that I'm not sure if you are serious or just doing some chain yankin'.

[speednme1]

Color can be subjective at any given time...what's hot at the moment may not be later or vice versa. I know of a 75 930 that is being returned to its original color of salmon metallic....looks copper in different lighting. When I was first told of the color I thought it was going to be nasty looking but after I saw the pics of the recent paint...It is hot! in a unique kind of way. Guards Red IMO will always be a favorite...regardless of what time. It is true that unique colors will command the highest prices but as others have pointed out condition should trump all......unless it is a special color a buyer has to have.

Glws...I hope you get every dime you ask for;-)

I'll dive in here and admit that my least desirable colors are always black, yellow, and red. I have owned 2 black cars in my life and this is my second red one. That said, I ignored my rules for the aforementioned reasons: the condition, the mods, the history, etc. trumped everything.

Oddly enough when I go to P-car events all the 930's are black, silver and white. Mine is always the only red one. I guess all the red ones are for sale!

[wgwollet]

We all think our cars are the best. Normal reaction that's why we bought them.......

Clean 930's approaching six figures if not there already? Who's buying?

are you new to this discussion on the rising tide for air cooled 911 and 930 models?

[j8tg]

I have a replica "S" wheel for sale in the parts for sale forum off of my sold 86 930 in the event you get talked into an aftermarket---but still was an available option in the day from the factory.

I have a silver on black '87, which is very clean, although with 117k miles. But the motor was rebuilt completely at 100k, w/ new P's&C's, etc. Aftermarket turbo, IC, and exhaust, although I have the stock parts. How much should I insure it for? I was thinking $60k, although this may not be enough to replace it based on what I'm reading here.

Perfect low mile garage queen collectors and rare cars are selling near 100K, nothing else. You can replace it for that now at $60K. Enjoy your 930.
