check in the classic / sports cars edition of theNADA book. that is the national auto dealers book that car dealers use to set prices and buy cars themselves.
If you’re saying second hand, as in with one previous owner, that could be 3 – 5 years old. If you mean used, and aren’t too fussy about the age, that could mean that you want one from as far back as the eighties.
There’s also the type of model involved. Currently, the main models are Carrera 2 and Carrera 4, with a Coupe and Convertible model available in each. A 3 year old Carrera 2 Coupe would be worth approximately £35 – £40k, the 4 about £2500 more.
There are eighties models available from anywhere from £7,000 upwards. That’s what I’m considering for myself.
Depends on the year… considering you are talking about a range of model trim levels each year over a period running from 1964 to the present, you’ll find quite a range of cost.
Early Year 911s (’64”73) will range in the $20k-40k range for most models. Obviously, some very rare cars exist here (911R, 911RS, 911ST) which will demand much higher values. If you are talking about a car in questionable condition, the cost will reflect this (though it may ultimately be cheaper to spend more up front and get a good example).
Middle year cars (’74-89) will probably represent the best value area in terms of what you get for the money. Some of these cars are considered less desirable (the 2.7L 911S of ’74-’77) and often run less than $10k, though the reasons why they were less desirable are probably long since fixed. The 911SC (’78-’83) and the 3.2L Carrera (’84-’89) are considered something of a sweet spot by many as these are still very much part of the older “classic” 911 line, but are relatively inexpensive nowadays ($15-20k), and they are very reliable.
Moving towards newer cars, you have the 964 (’89-’94) which will run in the $20k range (though the RSA version will still command a premium price). The 993 (95-’98) has started to slip in price since the 997 was introduced, but most will still run in near, or over $30K. The oldest of the 996 (’99-’04) examples are running at, or under 993 pricing. Prices on newer models rise closer to the current 997 as you get newer.
Color also affects price, though Red is probably not a color that is uncommon or as sought after as Silver. I do not expect you’d have to pay a premium price for that alone.
porsche does not depreciate in value so much so a porsche costing say 100 g will be like 85. i am buying a used boxster a 2002 s version for 45 grand canadian so yeah porsche will be expensive for a while
What model and what year will be the determining factors.
Do you want a 911SC, or a 911 Targa, or a 911T, 911turbo?
911 Carerra? There is a very wide range of prices here depending on how you want to look in it,and how fast you want to go, and how much time on the weekends you are willing to spend pampering it.
Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
depends if it still works, what year it is, if its a toy car etc!!

if you have to ask “how much”, then you probably ain’t got the funds.

If You’re prepared to clean it up, You could find one for 2 grand sterling.
totally depends on year and mileage and condition and model.
You can go from an old beater 911 from the 70s that will cost you a couple grand at most, or get a slightly used GT3 RSR for like a half million.
if you mean a 996 model (99-05), then they will run you about 30 grand in good shape, if you look around. Super good deal IMO.
For a decent one, expect to pay no less than £15k for a 20 year old car.
For a 993 model expect to pay a minimum of £20k and £25k for a basic spec 996
For S models and Carrera 4 models add an extra 5 or 10 thousand dependant on the car.
Turbos start at around £40k
Targas are cheaper but less desirable.
Check out 911virgin.com or rsjsportscars.co.uk loads of used 911s
Umm…price depends on the model and age of the car you desire!
Eg. 911 GT3 05 05 model ie. 996 – 12k miles – expect to pay between £50-60K
911 996 turbo 02-03 coupe model – with say 30k miles expect to pay between – £40-50k
911 996 C4S coupe – 03-04 model – way say 30k miles expect to pay between £35-45k
911 996 C4S cab – 03-04 model – with say 30k miles expect to pay £45-50k
911 996 turbo cab – 03-04 model – with say 30k miles expect to pay £55-65k
I have had real experience on the above models – hence my estimate on valuation.
Best of luck.
P.S. Have a look on – fantastic website for specialists vehicles.
I don’t follow what was just posted.
