1986 Coupe - Another whats it worth....

[wgerow]

Hate to post up one of these threads, but since "asking isn't getting" I am doing it anyway. Can't always tell what things are really selling for.

1986 Coupe, white. Burgundy interior
All stock
I'd say paint is 7/10 and interior 8
Mechanically the car is very good. It was re-built in the last 20,000, fully documented.
Car pulls and drives very nice.

I have an SC; I'm somewhat in tune with what the market has been doing. In my opinion the 86 would probably "sell" for around $30k. This is the northeast, so we're not talking about a FL or Cali garage queen here. thoughts??

And no - I don't have any photos to throw up. But its plain Jane stock. Fuchs aren't color matched, standard black. No tail/spoiler.

Well no pix hurts opinions.
No total mileage hurts estimates too.
White with burgundy sounds nice. I like the no tail look.

Let me ask you 2 questions:
1) what would you take for your SC? There's one basis to go on.
2) when's the last time you saw a 3.2 G50 go for $30 grand? There's another basis.

Oh, and one more thing. If you're Metro NY, the price goes up.

Mileage on the 86 is around 135k - forgot to mention.

Not in NY - we are talking semi-rural New England, 2 hr from Boston

SC has 199k on it, Quartz Grey Metallic in color. Not really sure what that'd go for, thinking low 20s.

We are talking about an 86, so I am not sure what you are getting at with your G50 comment.

My mistake about the G50. Thought it was an 87.

You should get low to mid $30's no problem if it has a documented rebuild, no rust/ major issues. I would recommend advertising it on Bring a Trailer. 911s are fetching great money over there.

Documented rebuild* is good and low to mid $30s is correct for the car you describe.

* More than a few 'rebuilt 911 engines' were done by Motormeister. That negates the value of the rebuild. Earnest amateur rebuilds aren't much better. A rebuild by a respected shop is the best value boost.

Strictly by the numbers, the '86 911 has the highest production volume of any aircooled 911. They made a lot of them. And they sold a lot of them here. If it's clean I would say late $20s.

Put on BaT. If pictures show nice car and good documentation will sell mid-$30's all day long

Based on what I read, it more than negates - it adds negative value!

Thanks for the info guys
Car isn't mine, it's a friends. I think he is going to sell, but not sure
I actually knew of the car and directed him to it a couple years ago
The rebuild was done by PO who if I remember was a German man, retired me mech. Engineer. Very nice man, meticulous shop.
Price recommendations are about what I thought
If it wasn't white (black or red) I'd consider it pretty hard. Drives really nice, mechanically better than my SC all day long imo
