We love our classic Porsches, and plenty of models are around to collect, buy, and sell. Pricing a classic Porsche appropriately can be tricky. Much depends on the make, model, and condition of the car. 
And why are you looking for a Porsche valuation in the first place? Are you looking to sell? Or do you need to check on the car’s current market value? There are a few ways to go about searching for a valuation. One is to do your research online and review standard sites like Kelly Blue Book, Hagerty, and Edmunds to find similar examples of what you own. Or review the PCA, or Porsche Club of America page to focus on the brand. This method of finding the value of a classic Porsche might allow you to spitball the value, but a “self-appraisal” like this can be a problem in the long run. As a team of expert classic Porsche appraisers, we understand that specific details can make the difference between hundreds or thousands of dollars. If you are serious about discovering the real value of a classic car like a 1990s Porsche 911, go to a professional. And if you are ready for a full appraisal to sell your classic Porsche, we are ready to make on-the-spot cash offers.
Here are five tips for getting an appraisal on a 1990s Porsche 911
- Get the paperwork together. Any documentation on the car always helps. And if you have the original car handbook and/or logbook, that’s important, too. If you are selling, classic car collectors like those extras!
- Detailing can make a big difference, so clean your car before the appraiser visits. Trying to “imagine” what a classic car looks like underneath the gunk is not the best way to appraise it.
- Tell us if you’ve modified your classic Porsche 911, like adding a turbocharger or lowering the suspension; even an aesthetic change like a body kit to make the car look “sexier” can impact its value. It’s best to write up a list for our visit.
- If you’ve restored the vehicle using original parts, it’s valuable to know that, too. We can usually figure out the quality of the parts during the in-person valuation, but your honesty may save us time.
- When you schedule the appraisal visit, make sure to be present. We’ll probably have questions. And you might have things to share you didn’t think about during the initial phone discussion.
Anyone looking to sell their 1990 Porsche 911 should aim to receive a fair and fast appraisal. That begins by preparing yourself and contacting a top classic car valuation service!
