M491

Does anyone know or know where I can find the value of a 1985 M491 Carrera. Mine has VERY low mileage........around 33000. It has a freash top end, but the damn dashboard........well, lets just say that the car has the full leather interior......nuff said.

ok.. I'll guess.. low 20Ks. Figure the 491 option was an approx 10K option on a regular '85 carrera. A non 491, in similar condition is maybe an $18k car so add another 5-7K for the 491 premium/rarity. I imagine there is a "491 registry" out there to help guide you along as well. A bad dash though can cause a price beating because it is SOO obvious to a potential buyer. Maybe with a bad dash its back to $20k. I've seen these cars range in price from $16K to $35K over the past few years.

This is a desirable car and w/ Patience can sell in the low 30s. Top end preowned dealers [Holt or Autokennel] would give you in the 20s for it as is and market it in the 30s.

I agree with Marcroni, its a pretty desirable car. The price really depends on how quickly you want to sell it. The market via the economy is pretty crappy right now so its not an easy time to get top dollar in short work. IMO a 33k mile m491 car priced for a fairly quick sale should be in the 25 to 30k range, the m491 coupes don't seem to be that plentiful in the market right now. I would not be surprised if one of the two places Macironi suggested paid you a good buck in a quick sale for you pronto.

Good luck.
