How much is it worth? (Mint 89 turbo, low miles)

[1.2gees]

What would you guys say a black 89 turbo (I picked it up from the original owner, dealer maintained and needs absolutely nothing) with 54k miles worth? It's got sport seats, and a few other factory options. I've owned 5 944 turbos, worked on dozens and this is the tightest, best driving one I've ever come across...

I love the car, but it might be a little too nice for me, I'm kind of getting tired of worrying about every little bump in the road, and where I park the car, etc.

Here's a picture:


When I say how much do you think it's worth I don't mean how much could I get for it if I waited 5 years to sell the car, but how much it could bring in a reasonable amount of time?

Thanks for any input.

It's worth at least $15K. Maybe as much as $20K to the right buyer.

I bought a '89 in '98 with 35K miles for $16.5K and sold it in 2001 with $41K for $15K. Like you, it was too nice for me. A year later I bought a '88 non-S with 176K miles for $1000. I've got about $3.5K total in it and it needs about another $1K-1.5K to be pretty squared away. But I'm driving it as is, for now.

I would not consider selling it at less than 15k. I wanted an idea of what it could bring, and I do appreciate the feedback. I may put it up for sale in the coming weeks.

I bought my '89 sith sport seats, 10 speaker stereo option, LSD, M030 and 76k miles for less than $10k. It did have some cracks in the dash and the batwing is pretty well beat up. Paint is good with a few chips on the nose and one door ding. No maintaince records but the owner seemed to care a great deal for the car and had all service done at one shop who vouched for it's condition.

Compared to what others have paid for an '89 I do feel like I got a good deal. It is probably worth more than I paid.

I've looked for over 6 months to find mine, I'd hate to get rid of it. I've had several people offer me $15k already. I will NOT be selling it before it sees a track day or two. I've had many cars on track, and a near stock 951S is one that I wouldn't mind adding to the list.

never take anything to the track that you can't walk away from
