Default 1994 Porsche 3.6 X88 fair price?

Wondering what a fair price would be for one of these. Looking to purchase a 3.6 and happened to find one of these for sale. Just doing my homework. Thanks in advance.

Depends so much on ROW or US spec, mileage, color, options, condition and history.

I personally know of the sale of a U.S package car for approx $700,000
and another one about 1 year ago which sold for $500,000

In rare cars there is no such thing as fair price, economics 101 demand & supply

To think I could have purchased one for $130k not that long ago.

Was that the red over tan or the midnight blue with plaid interior?

Not to go on a tangent but I simply don't understand how a package car is worth 6-700 while the 3.6 is about 250 for a nice one?

This one is black with a two tone tan. Flood car, parts only salvage, can't be licensed in us. It went to Europe someplace.

Actually go to flachbau.com

only 17 package cars made for US market only. The flachbaus were more numerous with 39 for US market and IIRC only 27 for the ROW with 10 or so for the Japaness market.

To me the 17 "package cars" are the TOP OF THE POPS as far as 3.6 litre cars concerned

I'm not a Flachbau friend and those 17 cars simply represent to me THE ultimate 3.6 turbo
