Vin No, Service records, Receipts of work done, Authentication by owner and or previous owners, Then a PPI by a reputable Porsche Dealership. Then if it comes up the good's talk price.

Looking to buy a 911 and want to make sure I get an authentic car with a known history. Is there a Porsche Registry that you can look into history or will dealers confirm information from the service records. How are people verifying cars these days.

Does anyone have a spare exhaust/headers/cats / anything similar for a 996.2 gt3 laying about? I am looking at the fabspeed but US shipping may be a killer.

Yeah, i read that when it got listed live - well picked

From Collecting Cars info: A right-hand-drive, Thailand-delivery car, this 911 Turbo was manufactured in January 1996, and is reported to have formed part of the Sultan of Brunei’s collection. It was later exported to the UK and became part of The Bonkers Collection, where it was re-registered in December 2015.

Guessing you've then seen the power plug at the motor itself. Unplug it my friend

Does anyone know what the black plastic air scoop is called that comes up with the electric tail? mines split down the middle and needs relacing, but i need to know what its called before a can hunt one down, probably

Dragging up an old subject but 981 interest still seems reasonably high, seemingly like resale values ! I’ve read the whole thread and pricing hasn’t fallen significantly from back on page 1 but I’ve driven a new 718 so can understand the aural dissatisfaction. I was contemplating getting one of the last ones but have now pivoted and going down the 981 route. Slim pickings on exactly what I’d like but I guess it’s not easy when the cars are 9 to 12 years old. Are carsales.com.au pricing. Anyone want to comment on what is a reasonable range for Base and S Boxsters in today’s environment ? Thanks in advance.

If you are worried it will seize and cause a short circuit, just unplug it. I can’t recall what type of electrical plug is on the power supply lead so suggest you tape it up if there is chance it can short on anything nearby.

I was 21 when I bought my first Porsche, I couldn’t afford it then and not much has changed since, as I can barely afford them now………….you’ll never have enough money! The saving grace is that if you buy well you may not suffer the same level of depreciation as most other makes.

Hi Tom, sorry for the slow response, yes I need the set. I’m going to sell the 930 shortly, & it has no rear belts, may I ask how much?

How long's a piece of string! "Generally speaking" .... If happily married, as much as she lets you or as much as you can get away with .... If on the way out or single, go for it! Whatever amount you can live with for heaps of fun and a loss OR gain of 20%

$120 ono Used it in my 356 for a couple of weeks only. Instructions manual included. Pick up from East Kew or shipping at buyer's expense. Cheers

Snapped doing a drive through the RNP

Turned 60 during Covid, sold everything but the house. Paid out the Mortgage threw what I was allowed to into super and spent most of the rest on a car. Spends as much as you can afford and you won't miss if its out of your account. Everyone is in a different position

I'll have to take your word for that one

Replacement blower motor just ordered from FCP Euro. After a little googling, looks like a job even someone as hamfisted as me can tackle. Thanks again.

But how much to spend? First figure out where you fit in the Porsche world, as in choice of car, get as educated as possible on your choice then spend the least possible on the best example you can find. Not very helpful I know, but buy on condition unless you enjoy the process of getting the car into good order and doing as much of that yourself. But don't buy with borrowed money if possible. For me it was always been a case of how much have I actually got and does that equal what I want, and do I have permission.

Always bought at times when money was available (in the bank account), never borrowed for these things and the family's needs come first. Before Porsche's had many Beetles and Kombis so was natural progression, first Porsche over 20yrs ago at 40 something, $25k 2.7 911, second $31k SC, third $25k 2.7 911 (the last time it was the standard rate for one), fourth $95k 981 Cayman S manual (as the pandemic hit), fifth $65k SC (very straight but in need of everything and now sorted, still own), sixth $189k 2007 997 Turbo (it may go as I don't need two 911s and the SC is now insane) Always bought carefully and maintained the cars to a high level, usually sold at times financial situation deemed it necessary then into it again when possible, so far have not gone backwards too much along the way, the one massive increase we experienced has put me in front but that won't happen again. The investment thing is bollocks, buy to drive and enjoy the engineering.

Yes, was saving them but reach out if in need. Cheers Tom
