( ok I ran out of buzz words for that hyperbolic statement) Stop it your sounding like a 996 next gen owner 😳🤪 If we're to be completely honest all this started with the 993RS's now thats vicseral raw and engaging 😂😂😂 On the 991.1 engine I may be wrong however the "G" series engine still does not fix the inherent design fault which as I understand it is the lubrication of the top end. There is a proper fix out there however like the IMS (in 996/997.1 std 911 engines) you have to bite the bullet before it pops. So the value of these cars is still murky until this 3rd party fix is costed and subsequently proven and of course this won't happen until the engine warranties start expiring in 2024. In the meantime if you pick one up for 180K with a G series donk and full warranty then remap the ECU to a 8500rpm hardcut then you'll be on the right track.

Having had a 996 GT3 for 7 years lets call me 1st gen and now lets say after a period of being in no mans land the 996 has gained renewed interest from another group which i referred to as next gen!

DJM Posted 18December, 2020 Report Share Posted 18December, 2020 I like this one, rare to see Carmine Red. Porsche approved too. Unflinching on price ($317k ex on roads if sold interstate) plus delivery. Maybe I should have bought the silver AH car at $279k, I don't see $40k more here. https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2017-porsche-911-gt3-991-auto-my18/OAG-AD-19416721/?Cr=4 tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's great, I owned one when you couldn't give them away too, so what does that make me?... Don't answer that, because my post was a joke, and in true 996 owner fashion, I actually don't give a fuck what others think. 😎 🍳 spiller, Shedpest, luzzo and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it time. They will be selling on consignment. They will be charging the guy $5k plus he will have to pay for the warranty extension. It is the third time they have had it for sale since new. It certainly is full retail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this will be 4 owners in under 5,000km? What a waste and in Tassie of all places where you’ve got driving roads galore. Go have a word to them for me will you, tell them it’s time for a new owner that will flog it on track and so they should sell fire sale it to me.

NBTBRV8 Posted 19December, 2020 Report Share Posted 19December, 2020 I don't know any of the owners, only a little bit of its history. The guy that speced it had to back out of the deal by the time it arrived. PCH then sold it and I can't recall if they have just sold it the once or twice since. I think it might only be the once.

Yes, what a pity it isn't driven....... Doug, happy to test drive and bring it over for you 🙂 The way he spoke to me yesterday (a tad dismissive, absolutely firm on price), I’m not their buyer. Unless they do an Autohaus and send a discounted offer via Carsales to move it on. But that’ll be many weeks away if at all you would think. Pretty basic spec but I like the rare colour combo, Clubsport, LWB seats, PDK, Chrono and it’s hardly been used based on km. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBTBRV8 Posted 19December, 2020 Report Share Posted 19December, 2020 It is full retail for a base spec car IMO, but you can't blame them for that. I wouldn't expect a call back, it is not how they do business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
