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

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:

I'm going to say $30k - $35k. The market is high right now.

I don't know what you paid but I do know when I bought my 964 11 months ago I could not believe how fast and at what prices these cars were going for. After losing cars at prices I thought they were worth I had to raise my game. I think the market is going up and will continue for some time to come. Unless you are actively looking you will not be abreast of the market. I am very happy I didn't wait until this year to buy my car!!

Your car looks beautiful, enjoy!!

Your price ranges are making me happy bought my 84 Euro...

I think the higher compression/ hp, no sunroof, other Euro features like smaller bumperettes, side markers, all plus for comparison to similar US 3.2s.

BTW, sweet 911 you have!

Here is mine:

Well? No price yet? C'mon, don't start a "guess what it's worth" thread and then not update with the actual price...

The thread was what's is worth, not what did I pay

Here is the original for sale listing, and lets just say the the line to buy it was long. I was the first, and the the seller had something like 5 cash backup full price cash offers the same day
