Lindo Posted 24August, 2020 Report Share Posted 24August, 2020 Engine has been replaced and is ex press vehicle. Was first registered in Syd as DAI-96s. Press vehicle. Engine replaced at 2000km. Seized. Could be a cheap buy for someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading about that in a magazine, it blew when being driven by a journalist. He claimed that he was driving it on the road and it just started to run rough then steam came out of the decklid. He went on to say that PCA weren't too happy as you'd imagine.

DJM Posted 25August, 2020 Report Share Posted 25August, 2020 Sounds perfect for me - get the word out there so I can pick it up quietly at wholesale and continue to flog it. Engine issue sorted at 2,000km and still under Porsche warranty, what’s not to like (other than the inferior engine design that lives on). Better than one that’s used to pottering aaround town to cars n coffee. luzzo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindo Posted 26August, 2020 Report Share Posted 26August, 2020 Interesting. The car has also been campaigned in recent years extensively by Tim Hendy in Targa, hill sprints, etc. Its certainly had a interesting life thus far! Some would say being used as they were intended however. DJM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindo Posted 29August, 2020 Report Share Posted 29August, 2020 it was really well optioned that car. Stock in 991 Gt3s and RSs is becoming thin on the ground. Covid has certainly been interesting.

Property prices also holding up (well in my neck of the woods at least, limited stock and strong demand). It is counter intuitive with a million unemployed, immigration all but stopped and our first recession for 30 years. I guess its the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer...... My prediction is @wilson59 timed it spot on......🤑 hugh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GT3 market does seem a little thin at the moment, I think Sellers like buyers are being very cautious trying to understand what's happening and what the effects to values maybe in the short to medium term. One things for sure if I was a seller or even contemplating selling I would be selling into this market right now no chance I would be waiting.

You'd think that but as a general rule used car prices haven't shifted. I think Victorian sellers are just riding it out at the moment and used car prices are holding up after new car supply stopped forcing prices up even though now new car supplies have started to creep back in. The reality is that there isn't enough pain about to shift prices at present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reality is that there isn't enough pain about to shift prices at present. Trying to buy anything new is almost impossible . I went to buy a new bike the other day and was told November if I am lucky . Seems to be a lot of money being spent at the moment so no one is discounting not too sure how far off the possibilities are off in be able to take delivery of a new GT3 .

NBTBRV8 Posted 31August, 2020 Report Share Posted 31August, 2020 I have been speaking to a sales guy from a Porsche Dealership in Melbourne and he told me that he had a busier sales month in August than July. This corroborates what we are seeing with prices staying firm or even marginally increasing. Pandemics are good fur business apparently.

" A great "heads up" for people that aren't in the know. Shame that is not the case. The initial batch had a rod issue that was third party and a full recall was done. The valve-train issue is a design problem that has a different sized bandaid on it depending on the engine revision. Having the latest engine is not a fix. sleazius, MFX and SS 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
