87-s4 Worth of this vehicle?

Hello.
I have an 87 S4. UNMOLESTED!
Black with tan interior.
5 speed with sport seats AND with the engine pan still there along with the rear cover and original netting.
Around 54,000 miles and everything absolutely works on her.

ALMOST mint on the whole.
What is it worth.

Maintainance always up to date and never lacking.

Pics would help. How nice is the paint? Interior? Clean title? Do the records span years and multiple owners? Could be $8,000 up to say $18,000. Ad some pics and more specifics. Sounds like you have a nice car.

If its as nice as you say I would guess 5 figures (10-15G) or whatever the market would bear.

If you want immediate answers I would check EBay . A lot of cars get sold for around 10k that are not as nice as your's sounds. Also 5 speed cars are usually considered more valuable. I think if you have the repair records it would go for a good price, considering black and tan is always a winning combo!

Good luck if you sale it.

The last 5% or so of almost mint is maybe $10k difference in price.

Is it an import or a US/Can market car?

Are you buying, selling, or curious?

87 is first year of the S4, depending on vin it could have a squirter block and/or folding wing that was dropped in later production. Is the leather still full and plush, or has it started to shrink? 54K miles makes it a driver not that appealing to a collector, so actual mechanical soundness as determined by an expert inspection will also be critical to value.

Canadian market car.
No issues with the leather.
No folding wing.
'squirter block'
I'm only curious. Have been a 928 owner for 15 years.

I always thought they dropped the squirter block before the folding wing...

Ah, then I would be free to say its worth at least $25k since its so nice.

Here is a nice 87 at Willhoit, note that 29k miles is key to some of its value, under 30k is prized, over is generally a driver car.
Willhoit inventory Porsche, Ferrari, Sports car

Just my opinion, I don't like the shiney chrome wheels. The Aero guys where I work would tell you that they may be "slippier" though - perhaps a lower Cd!!

I agree about Chrome Wheels. Yuck! the only good thing about Chrome Wheels is that you can get them Powdercoated to look like Black Chrome. Me likey

How about some pics? Didn't you already try and flip it for $15k on Kijiji? Try and sell it if you want to see what it is worth.

Maybe Seinfeld or Spielberg are looking!!! Any thoughts on those guys? I missed your anti-Semitic banning rant on Rennlist.

Sorry about your sensitivity to peoples religions.
I was only making a comment about a good for nothing drug addict that had children as fans.
Hey, I can't stand some catholics.
re you?
Let it go.
This whole episode re-enforces some beliefs I have.
Sticks and stones!
Darling.
