930 Prices.........

Just been looking and found a 1987 3.2 for £100k, a Turbo should be a premium over this, or is this just over priced? I think it is.

 
@Harry a data point coming up here in 3 weeks or so, looks like a nice one from the pictures and description? I think it makes the estimated price range.

Sold for ~£95k

Is there auction fees and taxes to pay on top of that?

I'm not surprised it made less than six figures.
I could write my critique of why certain cars might make less than others, but I don't want to piss anyone off if they've got one and it upsets them. At the end of the day in my book they're all brilliant cars but certain things seem to turn some people off and you have to really pick your moments if you want to sell for good money.

If space and money was no issue then I'd have a warehouse full of these cars, if they're set up properly they're staggeringly nice to drive, they obviously have their foibles but I really do see that as character.
If you're into '80s bikes then they're the RD350LC of Porsches, but obviously more expensive.

Been out in mine today (like every day for the last 6-7 days) and I'm really getting into how it works now and how you can play with the boost to have a lot of fun.
The handling is very good but I'm still a bit wary of it because of the reputation haven't even tried to make it oversteer because I'm scared of the widow maker
 
Totally agree Harry there can be illogical sales results depending on the moment of the sale, especially in auctions where it needs to have been brought to the attention of potential buyers who might not always be trawling the various auction house sites (as I enjoy doing as a spectator).
This one with the… interesting colour choices, given a pre market guidance of £130-150k makes me think it was in fact a no reserve car.
 
Here’s a strange one, sold but now apparently not sold, back into the next auction, same house, did the buyer not complete or did the seller say they never agreed to letting it go for £95k?!

I don’t know about the legal/commercial agreement but if you put your car up and it sells then surely you’re obliged to hand it over?

Although if they’re selling it again on the same platform then it suggests the seller perhaps isn’t the issue.
 
Agreed Harry it seems more likely the buyer didn’t complete for whatever reason. The car will be on site I doubt the seller can backpedal at that stage.
I think the winning buyer has ~48 hours to pay and collect. But if the buyer defaults then the auction house can offer the car to the highest underbidder…and they have no obligation….but either they declined too or the seller chose to re-enter it at the next sale.
This is just my guess I don’t know the precise T&C’s!

A few years ago Hexagon would have snapped that up at £120K and after a week it would be on their site at £170K

£100K seems good value for such low milage car, destination private collection
 
I think we’ve probably seen the last of the silly prices for a few years, on all cars really but especially classics. Historically it’s usually cyclical and comes back but not everything.

It appears to be actually sold now, maybe a glitch?

After reading into the history I think it was a good buy, it had recently had a c£40k engine and gearbox rebuild and a recent 38 page PPI that comes with the vehicle. Plus a major service and some other stuff to make sure there were no dramas for the sale.
All for <£100k.

I think it shows it’s still a very fickle market, a rising tide lifts all ships and when people are throwing money about then all these cars fetch good money, but when the market is down then only the really fstandout cars sell for good prices and even those are down a bit.

A first year low mileage whale tail 3.0L 930 in Minerva Blue or a final year 1989 G50 in Guards Red might still get better money, but even they’re down. And a white 915 car with nothing special is probably a hard sell.

As I’ve said many times, I hope mine is never for sale, but I did take a good couple of years searching for the right one to ensure that I got the right car, right colour, right year, right gearbox and even the right interior without the piping on the seats, I turned a car down for that.

The ‘89 for sale at Hexagon for £295k is top class but absolute fantasy though.
