Obviously not all sell cheap, but I've definitely seen a couple go well below "market rate" would be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Man Posted 6December, 2022 Report Share Posted 6December, 2022 Not a lot of money for a Varioram manual. Even if the buyer needs to spend a few dollars they would be in front. tomk86 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G5032 Posted 7December, 2022 Report Share Posted 7December, 2022 quite a bargain for an Australian delivered 993 manual coupe..despite the mileage the engine rebuild make it a good buy. Even if you had to spend some money on cosmetic touch ups would still make it worthwhile.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OBRUT Posted 31December, 2022 Report Share Posted 31December, 2022 I’ve seen some good SA cars and seen some bad. Very car specific. A few Sydney guys have recently brought a whole bunch to Aust (15-20?). Favourable Rand amongst other helpful factors. They also didn’t seem to get the Covid bump we got here.

Yes some big margins ..even with a dent in max resale price for being a dirty import. I have seen a SA car at a local meet and looked just fine , you wouldnt know, I had a look underneath, around rubbers and under bonnet and engine bay and it didnt seem to show any particular wear, also on running gear just like any car and was supposedly an original build. My review not so scientific but each country kinda looks different in my own experience if not restored on running gear and even grime although all have been cleaned for import. I have had UK, HK , US and LHD cars worthy of note contrary to the folklore, many of the UK models are also pampered and clean and kept inside during the salty seasons .. I wide body 993 NA worked to the nuts and a growly cam and exhaust would be my fancy and seems like an ok prospect if you can find one..gotta love a TT and they are crazy priced here but margins aside a spoilerless 993 just up there in looks I dont recall seeing you post one .. you need one A purple one Mike-S and micknine01 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBRUT Posted 31December, 2022 Report Share Posted 31December, 2022 A purple 993 would be fun - only a/c 911 I haven’t had. There is a lovely green over green 993TT that I fancy though… symsy and micknine01 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also recall a 993TT in Green with Green interior being listed for sale (Porschaden). Definitely hard to stomach, but if you love green... @911virgin may have been either 2020 or 2021, but just a guess. I do recall it was talked about on this forum, so if you can be bothered scrolling through the last year or 2 of posts, you may find a reference.

I've been to see the car twice and yes it looks good on paper but if you are buying it, please note the car has signs that its been in a front end at some point. Its also been resprayed, closed door before but the paint is so oxidized, the prep or storage must have been so bad. Basically be prepared to a full respray.

The date at the bottom of the porschaden page in the link says copyright 2020... So possibly 2020.... As you say $234k even in early 2020 was an absolute bargain......weren't 993 turbos selling for around $300-350k then? I wonder why the silver / green turbo was so cheap?? It only had done 102000kms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
