Just recently purchased an '84 Euro 911, and curious to see what your all think the value is (market value, not what you would pay for it) as there are not many to compare with. Here are the details

-Late 84 (85 in the US) German market 3.2 Carrera
-Black on black
-76k original miles, extremely good mechanically
-Was a one owner since new until me
-High end repaint at some point that is hardly noticeable, otherwise all original
-Factory 16" 7s and 8s
-Factory tail
-Factory sport suspension, diff and seats

-Exterior is an 8 out of 10. Not going to win a show, but excellent for a driver
-Interior has warped dash top, door pockets and rear shelf. Front seat leather is worn out. Otherwise the interior is in very good shape

Thoughts?

i would agree with around $25K, but not much more since it still is a 915 gear box

Lots of people are paying 6 figures for cars with those 915 gearboxes, so I wouldn't be too sure anymore.

I agree, but for the 70s year model not the late 80. At least for what i know.

In the 3.2 eerie there are the 915 and G50, and the G50 are moving much faster up in price when the early one tend to remain affordable.

I mean the 3.2 i Carrera from 84 to 89.

As per Excellence buyer guide those would be between 20K and 30K

Some people are recognizing that the 915 is lighter and WAY cheaper to rebuild. Retaining the classic feel of the previous decades of 911s has some charm too IMO. Personally, I'd rather have a 915. The rub it with a diaper crowd still prefers the G50.

This is great. I have an idea in my head of what it is worth, but good to hear opinions. Having been watching the market like a hawk and looking at 915 cars now that even mediocre G50 cars are 30+, it actually looks to me like any US model 3.2 915 with sub 100k miles in decent shape is at least high 20's. The 140k mile cars are *asking* mid 20's. Insane and likely a bubble, but still valid

As for more info on the car. It is the 231hp euro car with some euro specific quirks, which IMO makes it worth significantly more, but again my opinion only matters to me. I'm sure most of everyone here knows the differences, but here are the fun bits about this car:
-Substantially more power as noted
-different lights - side marker, H4s, amber tails. Mine was actually converted to US spec lights for import, but I am changing it back
-Lower
-Minor interior differences -no power locks, no aux heater levers on the floor, german on some of the gauges, misc other small differences
-Lighter by almost 100 pounds than US spec cars
-Mine has an unopened, still in sealed bag, german first aid kit and roadside emergency kit
-Cool import and owner history. Original owner has his name stamped on the US VIN and import plate in the door jam and still have all the paperwork from the dealer in germany

Euro car - anything "quirky" like manual windows? no sunroof? still original euro motor (231hp)?

How's that 30 year old suspension? still OEM components? replaced?

imho, given its age, the fact that it is "euro" may neither help nor hurt value. Condition is primary concern. As you may have seen with longhoods, values are only temporary, so pegging a number is hard. Sharing a few pics of a new acquisition seem a requirement, don't they?

Since you will only be driving it and enjoying it, the only reason to worry about market value is for insurance purposes only.. Sounds like $25Kish.

Good questions. Original meaning not modified. Some parts have obviously been replaced or worked on over the years including the struts, brakes, etc, but all OEM replacement. It had all the factory sport options is what I was intending. I also recently had the transmission rebuilt, but the engine is rock solid.

Pics would seem to be a major oversight on my part. Only have a few at the moment:
