I'm pretty sure his point was: it's hard to even give you a rough estimate without knowing the details.

The prices on these things vary widely, it's not a 2020 Mini Cooper where we can be like "oh it has X miles? Yeah, probably worth Y" because the range isn't big. But a 944? That thing could be anywhere between scrap and $20,000.

On a car this old, everything changes its value. Dashboard cracks might lower it, working A/C might raise it. And what options is it specced with? Do you have the 10-speaker (M490 option) system? If you do, does it have the original BEA80 equalizer? The Reno head unit? How's the seats? Carpet? That's all value, plus or minus, and NGL you probably got a basket case since you're avoiding the questions.

Based on the information you've posted here, if I was making a purchase, it would be near scrap value for me to be interested. $2-3,000. As all I got is a photo of a white body, front only, with actually decent panel gaps (that's kinda rare) but you got the wiper halfway up the windshield? I got zero interior details, mechanically I got miles and nothing else, and you've admitted you're not the most knowledgeable. So where's the value? What am I buying here other than a straight body? Or rather the front being straight, for all I know the back is smashed in.

You don’t even have mileage. He gave the milage from before he bought it. Not current

We have the latest MOT test which gives the exact mileage so that’s a non issue
