| I agree, fintail, but to the extent that exports of some of these used dinosaurs reduces the supply on our market, they're doing us a favor. It'll help, if only in a small way, improve resale values for those who may want to trade into more fuel efficient vehicles, but can't because they're upside down | |

I tried this over on "real world trade-in", and was referred here. Minneapolis, MN 1994 Porsche 968 Convertible (thin market for these) 6-sp manual, RWD 70,000 miles Black / black Leather, CD, heated seats Good / Clean condition (no major problems) Private Party: Edmunds TMV says $9300, KBB says $14,900 What's it really worth? Thanks.

Replying to: lemmer (Jun 17, 2008 5:32 am) Price guides are tricky. One has to know precisely what the "condition" they are showing actually means. One man's "excellent" is another man's "good" or even "average", while another person's "excellent" is actually show quality. I don't think price guides should list show quality pricing, since true #1 cars are very rare, are NEVER driven, (some never even started up, lest the engine be discolored or stained) and are trailered with little tire muffs to keep the grass out of the treads. Many #1 cars are never even offered for sale publicly, so it's hard to know the prices they bring. |

Replying to: dbt (Jun 17, 2008 7:32 am) I'm looking to buy a '67 Tbird and have been searching around online to find some numbers to gauge the current value of the car. I found a website online called www.collectorcarnet.com which sells a database of actual classic car sale prices. It looks pretty reliable, but I was hoping to get some feedback first. Has anyone used this website and bought their database before? Thanks, Brooke

Replying to: brookej11 (Jun 17, 2008 10:03 am) In the case of the type of car you are looking for I don't think you need to spend money on a subscription, since these are not high dollar automobiles. I think if you checked out www.nadaguides.com, then looked at www.collectorcartrader.com for comparable ads, you might start to get a sense of value You didn't tell us if you are shopping for a coupe or a 4D, or what kind of condition you are seeking (fixer-upper, clean driver, show car) so we can't really offer an opinion of value.

Replying to: scks7 (Jun 28, 2008 6:23 pm) What is the overall condition? Is it show quality, spotless, prisitine? Or is it a "clean driver"? Or does it have a few scrapes and bumps and faded paint? What color is it? What is the mechanical condition? Does it need overhaul of any major component?
