Not to rain on anyone’s parade but using Hagerty ‘s estimated values guide may raise one’s expectations to unrealistic levels and end up in a major disappointment when you try to sell the car. The guide is great if you use Hagerty ‘s insurance arm to insure your car with an “agreed value” policy, but many other insurance companies balk at those values and claim they are (
allegedly ) inflated anywhere from 50% above real market value, to as much as 100 % or even more .. I’m not suggesting that is categorically true, just because other insurers state that ( maybe they don’t want to pay out that kind of money since they don’t offer agreed value policies ) but search : “ are Hagerty listed values inflated “ and then fact check the findings, but you’ll see quite a few discussions from many different car forums , from exotic foreign cars to collector muscle cars, come up on this topic, with sufficient examples pointing to that inflated valuation as a distinct probability in many cases. Not in all cases but enough to make one cautious . The only reliable gauge for car values is a listing of recently sold ones pricing, not the asking prices , nor the generic pre-sale guides listings , such as Blue Book, or lists in various Auto Magazines .. The problem with the 968 is the lack of sufficient sales and related detailed info to establish any reasonable and credible parameters .. How many 968s have sold in the last year which were in “concours” condition ?! How many sold which were in “excellent” condition ? Unfortunately the majority of 968s which do sell are fairly high mileage ones that “show their age” , so that price data detracts from arguing a 968 should command a lot more money because of what Hagerty shows .. But
it might, <i>IF </i>you find the right buyer who has his or her mind dead set on a 968 or at least very interested in the car once they learn what a great automobile it really is . What Bob ( RAP ) posted above re the considerations which should come into play is spot on !
IMO.
