Projected use of Speedster
I would be a seller in the low 70's on Speedsters unless the car was a sub 2000 mile car. Yea the markets very thin on these since there are few. Forget what Victory says since they basically lie about everything. In a car like the 89 Speedster even greater value is placed on records, condition and miles. So yea I have seen them around in the last 6 months for the 50k range and I even saw one in the 40's, granted it had 85k miles on it. In order to narrow down the market you might want to consider things besides price. Are you going to drive it often or are you looking for a garage piece? Thats a big factor.

Speedster sold recently
I am really sorry guys, but for under 15k, and under 10k cars in concours condition the market is going up, I have received two unsolicited offers in the low 70's on my car, and yes I was shocked, but buyers are out putting there money in different stuff than stocks... maybe I am the exception but I am pretty tight with the larger known speciality Porsche dealers and they confirm my experience.. granted this is only for extremely low mileage cars, the normal mileage cars are doing very well but that is where I agree with the very high 40's to mid 50's cars.... So my 2 cents worth on a Monday.

speedster
I bought a blk 89 speedster today paid at the high end of prices people are talking about here but i wanted blk and they are hard to find. I probabl over paid 5k for the car but its very clean and original and they just dont come around often enough to pass up.

Its a poor investment, especially after the stock markets already fallen. I forget what the list was in 89, I am guessing something like 55k or more and now its worth what? 75K if its a <5000 mile garage queen?

A bit aggressive maybe, but I don't see them for sale very often anymore. I'm guessing it will fetch close to asking. The only comps I could find were a few lower mileage cars from 2010 and they were going for between $80-100k back then.
So weird that this popped up because I saw an old couple cruising around in one just this weekend. Hadn't seen one in the wild in years. Cool cars.

A 57K miles Turbo-look Speedster just sold at RM Phoenix Auction (Jan 2014) for $126K... per April 2014 SCM!!! So this is an actual auction result.
SCM's assessment was this was very strong retail money, but not ridiculous... and certainly auction results can be manipulated, even at reputable companies like RM, but the market for "collector" cars has been crazy lately, so the "market" is like nailing jello to the wall.
SC/Carrara prices have started to move lately. (personally, I think a nice Carrara Cab is a slam-dunk buy right now... but that's another story)
My guess is that if you really want a Speedster, and can find a good one for $50-60K, chances are you won't get it any cheaper down the road, and if you have one with no pressure to sell, sitting on it won't hurt you much.

Don, rather than spamming multiple threads across several forums can you please follow the rules, pay for membership, list the car for sale with a price, etc? It is a much better route than your current one.
