It's Time to Sell My 1984 Targa

The time has come to sell my 1984 Targa. 92,XXX original miles. Mostly original and unmolested (paint, interior, engine, etc.), with upgraded Dansk exhaust.

What's the best site these days to list the car for sale? Also, what's the best way to put a value on the car?

Thanks!

I think Bring A Trailer is best for valuing and selling your car:

3.2 Carrera BAT model page: https://bringatrailer.com/porsche/911-carrera-3-2/

Looking at eBay completed listings is also a good resource for valuing a car: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=1984+porsche+targa&_sacat=0& rt=nc&LH_Complete=1

The key with Bring a Trailer is to post the full photo set, along with extensive underbody pictures, videos of the car driving, get a PPI done and post the result on the listing, including a compression or leakdown test. Also, participate in the conversation and answer questions in the listing, that will give buyers confidence.

Can you set a reserve on Bring-A-Trailer?

Yes. But they can be a little aggressive on where they get you to set it.

Pelican is still a good place to list it.
