1982 Porsche 911 SC Coupe

1982 Porsche 911 SC

Don't see much of a difference other than the price tag. Maybe a little touch up paint here and there but definitely the same car. I was looking at it last week before it sold the 1st time. Very decent car at the 1st price for sure imo but $9 grand more 2 weeks later. wow...

To be fair i just bought and 80 sc coupe on ebay last friday morning and the same thing probably happened to me..EEEEKKK.

At least I dont know about it.

Did you buy the black one from the same seller?

Scottc714 · 06-16-2015, 05:24 PM

No, another car and seller. Honestly I kinda feel like i let this one get away at $24,600 though. I wasnt quite ready to pull the trigger that day. Bought something similiar with 65,000 miles.

If I'm not mistaken the previous seller of that blue/blue was another shop, that at some point had it listed at $30k but guess it didn't sell. So you might be looking at a double-flip, so to speak.

Anyone here likes the blue/blue combo ?

Not particularly. Seats almost looked purple to me in some pics. The car I bought is Petrol blue / black

It looks like a dealer-dealer transaction.

Recent headstud repair, and new Kuehl a/c? Car was really cheap at $24,600.

Seems about right a $30-33k. Probably still a deal at that money if there is any paperwork with it. But there probably isn't.

Lesson here is that crappy, incomplete ads get low prices.

Love it, I have a 1982 targa in the same colors. The $24k was a good price if everything was right. I remember a similar coupe at Porsches to Pinkney (MI) about 15 years ago that was pretty nice but had a ton of paint chips.

Yes I agree. It does appear to be a dealer to dealer transaction. It looks like it was an easy pickup for the current seller too looking over the bid history There was almost 15 minutes left on the auction with no raises. its as if no one wanted the car so the guy said ..what the hell ..I'll take it for that. $24,600 was a great price for an 83,000 mile coupe in that condition in this market.

I had a little battle right to the end on my auction.
