Congrats! You’ve Inherited a 1997 Porsche 911, Now What?

Let’s be real; there have been times in most of our lives when we wish there were one of those unknown “rich uncles” who found us and added a substantial inheritance for us into their will.  Porsche 911 - how to sell a classic Porsche 911 from the 1960s

Maybe there were moments when a nice chunk of cash could have helped with several things like;

  • Putting money down on a vacation home or even your first property. 
  • Pay off that house and live mortgage-free.
  • Helping to pay for someone’s college or pay off the debt.
  • Take that once-in-a-lifetime trip to fulfill your bucket list
  • Help give the gift of paying for a wedding or special family reunion.

Or it would be nice to invest in a retirement fund and allow that cash to grow for later.  But alas, the rich uncle hasn’t appeared. Instead, the next best thing has happened which is you’ve inherited a 1997 Porsche 911! And that alone is money in the bank if you are ready to sell.

That Classic Porsche Is a Fun Ride, but You Can’t Keep It

After you got the keys, it was fun to take her on the road for a little bit. And maybe you’ve even held on to that classic Porsche for a year or two, but the responsibility is too much. There’s maintenance to consider; classic cars require regular care. And, of course, that 1997 Porsche 911 deserves proper storage to help maintain her engine and good looks. Yet, it’s just too much. Lucky for you, this model is considered a Porsche collector’s dream.

The 1997 Porsche 911 was the last revision of the brand’s innovative air-cooled engines. In addition, only 68,000 of these sports cars were sold throughout the world. We can’t confirm how many are left or what condition they are in.

And that’s another thing to consider: no matter what the condition of your classic Porsche, it is worth money. If you are not familiar with the classic Porsche market, we offer a critical piece of advice: do not go to a regular car dealership to sell it! This kind of car requires a professional valuation by a classic car expert. If you’re looking for a quick way to sell your vehicle, give us a call, and we’ll start with a conversation that could lead to a scheduled visit and a fast cash offer. That offer will encompass all the details surrounding its value, including make/model, condition, and current market price. We don’t just look at a Kelly Bluebook; we are passionate classic car collectors ourselves and respect the historical significance of these incredible sports cars. Our goal is to ensure the classic Porsche brand continues to thrill collectors for decades to come.

We’ve been lucky too. Our Dusty Cars team has had the privilege of purchasing and reselling several of these incredible classic sports cars. For example, we have a black 1997 Porsche 911 Turbo Coupe ready for a new owner right now. And we predict it will go fast. The classic silhouette from the sleek, wide front to the rear spoiler, is camera-ready.

For anyone who’s inherited a 1997 Porsche 911 and can’t keep it, we are ready to take a look and offer cash for it. It could result in a nice little chunk of change to pay off that mortgage, cover higher education or check something off your bucket list!
