Porsche prices will come down, they say. Just give it time.

Maybe the entire market didn’t get the message: This 1986 Porsche 911 Carrera coupe just fetched $73,000 on Bring a Trailer. That’s not No. 1 money, but it’s pretty close. 

The pros of this particular car, as usu…

Sport seats too. 

Given the mileage and the one owner until very recently, worth it.

It has a lot going for it, I'll say that.

Is it accurate to say that prices for these pre-964 80's 911's roughly doubled in the last decade?  Seems like they were in the $30k's when I toyed with the idea of getting one around 2010.

Will go higher 

 

when land cruiser are selling for $80,000, supra and integra for $100-200k, Covid for $35,000 -  911 market will keep climbing 

 

my friend and neighbor sold his 400k mile land cruiser  on BAT last week for $27,000

On a related note, I picked up mine from the shop this morning--totally clean bill of health. (Whew.)

My Dad had an '87 that looked exactly like the one in the OP.  It didn't have the super low miles or one-owner history of that one, but I remember him paying $15k for it in about 1998.

Other than the 915 and the colour - which I'm also not a fan of, even though my 911 Cabriolet is also guards red - I do think it's got a few desirable option (like the front spoiler and the whale tail, plus the sports seats) and the low mileage, but I'm not sure it's $73k special.

I still think 'driver' mileage cars that show they led a life aren't that expensive,  but they're also going up.

Very nice car but has to ask themselves is there other desirable alternates that are not at the peak or near their peak. There are few very desirable water cooled Porsches in this price range. A 2007 911 Turbo, with 7,000 miles, sold a week or so ago on BAT for $73,000. Makes you think.
