value of a ‘85-1 944
 

Hi,
This car has been sitting for a number of years. It doesn’t run but I am sure that if someone put a little effort into it that it will run. I want to get rid of it but I don’t want to go to a junk yard. They pay by the pound. At the same time I do not know what a fair price would be for this car. Thoughts?
If I had the room I would part it out. As it stands it is taking up space that I definitely could use.
Thank you for any suggestions.
Tim

Tim,

pics would be helpful.

Why was it parked?

How many years idle--outdoors or in a garage?

Body/interior condition/mileage?

Options?

Any history on the car?

These cars are not easy to sell.
A good starting point for average base 944 with manual and average miles is $4k to $5k.

How many miles on the car? Miles are a huge factor in selling price.
What kind of condition would it be in, if you spent a morning cleaning it ?

As it sits, make an ad and list it online sooner rather than later.
You can sell it as a parts car.

Or pay a shop to get it running if you get no bites.

$1000-2500.

Get it running. Some youngster will buy it and make it his own. We all started this way and it's a great way to get into Porsches.

that very well would cost more than it's worth right there.
