Car Forum / Porsche / Porshe 944 / July 2006Help me price my 944 for sale
I just bought a new car and need to sell my 1984 944 with only 34K miles. The car had been garaged by it's original owner (my grandfather) up until about 4 years ago. Since then it has been used only occasionally in the summer and covered in the winter. It runs great and is a lot of fun. What's wrong: No AC, which you might expect from a 22 year old car. Some minor body damage: cracked front spoiler, very small dent in the rear drivers side. I've seen them selling anywhere between $1000 and $15,000, so how much should I list this particular car for? Am I better off taking it to a body shop to replace the front spoiler and see what they can do about the dent, or am I better off selling it as is? well, to put a low end on it, I just arranged for a friend to buy an 84 944 for $500 - it needs paint, tires, brake hydraulics battery, and plug wires, and reseal the hatch - I figuer about $500 to $800 in stuff and some labor and it will be a $2500 car. yours ought to be worth more because of low mileage, but I'd be astounded if you got anywhere close to the $15K - I would guess that $6K is absolute top dollar, with half of that being a "good" price. oh, by the way, the reason I had to change all the brake hydraulics is that hte previous owner did not change the brake fluid periodically (like every 2 years) - you may want to do that soon. >I just bought a new car and need to sell my 1984 944 with only 34K >miles.

Any thoughts on if I should look into getting the front spoiler crack fixed before I sell the car? > well, to put a low end on it, I just arranged for a friend to buy an > 84 944 for $500 - it needs paint, tires, brake hydraulics battery, and [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > > will iam_ b_ No ble at msn daught com I would pick one of two strategies - 1 - make it totally beautiful and sell for top $, or 2 - do nothing and sell closer to the low end (say $2,000 to $2500- my guess is you are unlikely to get your money back on any repairs you pay to have done, but will gain on anything you do yourself. >Thanks for the reply.

Have you taken a step back and looked at that car. It's awesome. Cant even compare it to sports cars nowadays. If one car ever caught my eye the most it was the 944.
