High Mileage Coupe value

[SilberUrS6]

Yup. Crazy, right? So here's the test: If you needed to replace it with something similar, how much would you have to spend? And for you, I don't see how you're going to get a car under 30 that's in that good of shape. Maybe, but not in an unusual color scheme. Red over black? Maybe. Not chiffon over ivory/brown, for sure.

Wow, that is crazy. Hadn't paid too much attention to prices of SC's and 3.2's of late. I knew they were way up, but I have mine, so I wasn't tracking it closely. At $30k now, my car has doubled in value in just over 3 years. Insane. Glad I bought it when I did.

Off topic but speaking of high mileage... check out this 91 C4 cab, manual, black/black, with 351,200 miles (!) Sold quickly for $20k. Interior needs major work and big rust bubble around the windshield.

^^^ this.

That's a low-$30s car. Highly desirable color and combo; documented recent work; much original paint, restored wheels. These are all value-adds.

So what is my unmolested, bone stock (except for a non-functioning Reno and aftermarket shift knob) '87 Carmine Red/Ivory coupe with 102k on the clock worth these days?

Carmine exterior and Ivory inside? Probably $35-37K if we apply the "red tax." If you decide you cannot sell for under $40K, a buyer might show up... The market will be small and it could take a while to sell, IMO. But there's bound to be someone out there wild about Carmine.

But... G50 coupe with low miles and unmolested? That is an in-demand form factor.

Yea, Cherryrot exterior/Ivory interior. Not a huge Red car fan either, but the Cherryrot looks almost bluish/brown when the sunlight hits it. Thanks TW.

Happy to provide my opinion for free, as that's what it's truly worth. The only opinion that counts is that of the check-writer.

More than Arne's car. Closer to 40.

As it has always been.

102,000 miles is considered low! and a sports car at that! That is one of the main reasons I like 911 Porsches.
If it were almost any modern Ferrari it would be almost un-sellable at that mileage and I have seen very few Ferrari's that have ever broke 100K.

OK, this has definitely got the gears in my head turning. If it's really a low $30s car, I may want to sell it, but with an eye to moving to a different Porsche, a lateral trade, perhaps. Hmmm...
