Medium term value increase G50 Carrera vs 930

Diamond911 · Diamond911's Garage

Just curious, I'm wondering what you guys think has the best value increase potential in the medium term (say 5-10years) between G50 Carrera ('87-'89) vs 930 assuming both are a stock standard and unmodified.

I own an 88 G50 which I absolutely love, but have always loved the 930's as well. I'm not looking to change but just curious.....

Turbos, IMO, tend to under valued now. This coupled with lower production volume will give it greater potential for upside.

I think the 930 has the better long term potential to hold its value or potentially increase. IMO, there has already been a slight uptick in prices in the last 2-3 years.

Find an '89 turbo with the G50 in any color beside red, black, or white - I think that's going to be the pick of the litter.

Turbo.

The G50s have already started their appreciation...

Turbo over a G50 anyway.

1) Turbos look better
2) Faster cars, onced owned you will understand
3) IMHO the 930's are a great buy now.
4) Much less made then G50

The only problem with both cars, that being 25 years old it's getting harder to find a stock unmolested car. I find the 930's very hard to find stock with original paint and interior.

I too think turbo, but I think it will be the other side of it. I think the early 3.0l Turbo Carreras are going to be the money cars. Though they will be followed shortly by the '89 and the 964 G50/50 and G50/52 based cars.

930.. they are more scarce and more exciting than the regular carrera.

Turbo...but, almost all will cost you more throughout this time frame so you net less.

As the say goes: "ALL Turbos have a recent rebuild (you pay more up front) or need one (you pay while you own).

Garage queens also apply because the seals in them take a set then leak.
