87 Turbo, 90k miles needs valve guides. 25k??

[Elombard]

This is Black on Black all stock car. Recent turbo, 2nd owner. Runs great, non stock wheels and the air pump was removed by a PO. It smokes pretty good after its warm. Needs valve guides. I am going to help friend sell it and he wants it gone pretty quick. Do you guys think this would move it quickly? Maybe its still too strong a price.

Thanks for your opinions.

I think it'd probably move quickly at that price, given that 930s without needing that work are selling around $40k for an average driver.

$15k cushion oughta be plenty to draw the folks out of the woodwork.

I'd offer it for $30k+ and take no less than $27k. Really, if he wants a solid guaranteed investment, fixing those guides will double the money spent, *if* there are all the records and the car is 9/10 on paint and interior.

930s are really starting to ramp up in price. $25k is a same-day sale.

That car will sell in 15 minutes at $25k. Too low, not too high.

Though like Eric said, take it to Goldcrest, have them do a top end rebuild on it and then ask $45k for it.

Yah I need to check the 'if' on the records for the car. He just wants out quick, needs a truck for a growing business. I am thinking about flipping it after cleaning it up a bit but I have been bitten before and I dont want to rush in.

Really appreciate the comments - please keep them coming, hopefully the car will end up with a pelican as a great value and be used as it is meant to be. I wish it was modded then it could be backdated ala RSR or BBII with a T :-)

For 15K you should be able to rebuild the top end and refresh trans. If the body and interior are good you should be around 43K value.

post the question on the 930 board.
