Urgent: 1980/81 Porsche 924 Asset value

[eugopnosaj]

So, my grandad sadly passed away last Friday and we've been going through the proceedings. One of the things is that we have to value all of his assets for the will etc. One of these includes a 1980/81 X reg Porsche 924 which unfortately has seen better days.

He was driving it up until about 5/6 years ago which would have put him in his early 80's! It just got to a point where he couldn't really get into it anymore, so he bought himself a Puma (not really MUCH better but hey). Anyway its been sat on the drive, not being washed or anything, the tyres are flat as you can see and the interior is going a bit mouldy.

I appreciate that I could have washed it and taken better shots but if I'm honest, that's not really on the top of my list of things to do...

So I need a bit of help just to value the car as it is, not what it might be worth. Generally it is in good condition, there are a couple of dents in the wings and surprisingly hardly any rust. Obviously it hasn't been started in a long time but from what I remember everything worked.

It has full electric windows and the metal sunroof, everything is genuine, the service history is unknown but I believe we have most of it (another thing we'll have to find).

Please take into account that the car is dirty and would need a blow out to get rid of the cobwebs etc, I just need a rough estimate, based on the 924 being in a cleaner condition.

Please see photos, any advice would be much appreciated. I'm not sure where we need this information for but the sooner the better for the will etc.

Thanks for your help in advance.

don't wish to offend but with no tax or mot and as a non runner as an asset as its not extremly collectable and would be valued on its scap weight, the prices of these on ebay vary an awfull lot form being able to get a roadworthy model with tax and test for around £600 upwards,


when we valued my dads mercedes s124 (300te24) it had no tax or mot (needed a fair bit of work) and again isnt a valuable model so was valued at £180 (scrap price at the time) at the time a similar spec car needing work with no tax or mot had made £350 on ebay. you do get taxed an moted ones for sale upto £5k though

best thing to do is see what prices other cars in simalar condition are being advertised and sold for.

for tax purposes its worth scrap value, and even with cleaning etc its probably still not worth much more unless it is something unusual

what its worth to you is probably another matter though

For probate purposes £150.

Yeah I know its not worth a lot, but we still need to put a figure in. It'll probably be broken for parts

Agree, if its got no tax or MOt everything is £150-£500 for tax reason.Its the house and cash they pay attention to unless its a pre 50's car or has the word "Bentley" in the title!

Out of intrest where abouts are you if you are looking to re home it in the future? this owuld be a cracking project!

i bought one in similar condition, but in white for 200quid of a scrap car lad a few months back, not had any interest in breaking bits of it on ebay so id say 150-200quid if you want to get rid of it, chuck it on ebay youl probabaly get 400, but itl take you listing it 3 times after the first 3 turn up and wont take it when it doesnt drive home and its got a spider living in the passenger mirror.

D0 you still have this and where abouts are you

Sorry guys for the late reply. The car is based in Southgate in North London. At the moment the will is still being processed so nothing can happen with the 924 until then.
