1985 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe

While they aren’t the exceptional values they used to be the market has settled down enough that we can still find good examples of the Porsche 911 3.2 Carrera for pretty reasonable prices. And I think it’s safe to say that there are still quite a few of us out there who hope to still have opportunities for owning and driving these great machines. The 1987 and later model years show higher overall values since that was when Porsche first fitted the 911 with the more stout G50 5-speed manual transmission, but the earlier cars still provide excellent motoring and reliability for on average about $5K less given comparable condition. The example here, a Garnet Red 1985 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe with contrasting Beige and Brown interior, comes from the earlier period of the 3.2 Carrera but looks in just the sort of shape we’d hope for when searching for a nice classic 911.

I want to be able to say that I’m confident in the apparent condition of this 911, but the pictures are a little too dark and a little lacking in quality to get an accurate appraisal of the exterior. The interior we can see fairly well and it looks in good shape with clean carpets, crisp seats, and a good looking dash. From the detail shots we’re given we see a similar level of care as everything presents very nicely. My hope is that those attributes translate to the exterior as well. That will leave us with a Carrera that comes in a really nice color combination that has very reasonable mileage. For $39K that’s actually not too bad at all. It isn’t a G50-equipped Carrera, but for someone who might be hoping to get a classic 911 with decent upside that could actually take on a few extra miles without a hit to its value, then this looks like one worth giving a long look.
