HWY Posted 8July, 2021 Report Share Posted 8July, 2021 1 hour ago, DJM said: SOLD Porsche Sell Direct, simple and quick. Porsche Sydney South bought it. Dropping the car off to Porsche Centre Melbourne this Saturday and they'll EFT to the money to my account. Nice and simple, no RWC, no test pilots, no dreamers, no waiting for buyers to show up etc. None of the "I'm interested" crew on Carsales shaped up as a real buyer, too many excuses about wives and lockdowns and other cars to sell and "working offshore". So there you go, wholesale price is $308k. When i pinched it privately for $291k from under Chellingworth Porsche's nose, they were asking $325k so applying that same margin, PCSS will likely ask retail of ~$340k. What happened to waiting until Friday- as I am working offshore on an oil rig, but my wife has chartered me a chopper to get back to the mainland, whilst I get my 2 Covid shots during the flight, and then once I sell my Datsun to my 3rd cousin's girlfriend I'll have $310k cash. Subject to a thrash around the block of course.... sjm, spiller, DJM and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS 3 Posted 8July, 2021 Report Share Posted 8July, 2021 With regard to the 991.2 Market I believe that you need to factor in that the 992 GT3 deliveries slots are open and the Australian allocations have started meaning we will start seeing cars in the last Qtr of this year. With the 992 GT3 starting at $412K drive away In Victoria (less in other states). Bear in mind most 992 GT3's I would think will be closer to an average of $440K drive away Purchase Stamps Total 310k 28K $338K 320K 29K $349K 330K 30K $360K 340K 31K $371K I understand that there are other factors as well such as financial/ preference in look/ km's travelled/ colour etc.. Based purely on the dollars i guess we have to at least ask the question as to what is the probable delta between models. What do people think?

Doesn't mean that the dealer didn't buy it... If bought by a punter, $310k all in from collecting cars - assume its not rego'd then otherwise they've paid stamp duty on top. Listed at $350k with CTS, less any consignment fee. Easier way to make a few k or break even in my view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How it is not great advertisement? The way I see it, collecting cars is still private sale u r merely selling through their platform. Almost no different to carsales, except you have a potential to close the deal in a short time as opposed to waiting for the oil rig worker making you an offer after he/she sold the datsun ...LOL On 07/07/2021 at 14:01, Scott SS964 said: New car to market i wouldn't mind betting that this is the car that sold at auction for 301k on collecting Cars a few weeks back could be wrong.

Maybe im a little bias but if I was in the market for a GT3, I buy a 991.2 over a 992. Motor is almost similar, only real benefit is the double wishbone suspension that porsche make a song and dance about. Notwithstanding, I feel the 991 components are sturdier than the 992 which look great but feels plasticky....those silly door handles just gets on the nerves...

Its my understanding the seller deals with the buyer directly, and the buyer pays CC directly the purchasing fee. So CC are not involved in the transfer of funds and ownership of car.

I rejected the 305. Found an email for them so I countered. The dude figured out which dealer it was and they sent me a second offer 308. Near enough, accept then it tells you dealer and provides contact details. Slick and simple. edgy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted 8July, 2021 Report Share Posted 8July, 2021 Do love this "Carmine Red" is a great colour , low klms , optioned well , only thing I dislike is the painted interior trims , but I know they can be changed easy enough. https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2017-porsche-911-gt3-991-auto-my18/SSE-AD-7285661/?Cr=0>s=SSE-AD-7285661>sSaleId=SSE-AD-7285661>sViewType=showcase&rankingType=showcase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great buying at that price. Sad to see it go @DJM but I get the rationale, at least you finally got to scratch the GT3 itch. Just need to get some plates for the RX7.

A .2 RS is on my radar as I become more senior and require more creature comforts. Hopefully by that stage 992 prices will have driven them down!

Having said that, the crash history concerns me less than the .1 engine popping, it's not just a rumour, it does happen and I've seen it happen in real time more than once. For me, a .1 price needs to be very sharp, if for example I could get into a .2 RS for less than 100k extra I'd be taking a .2 in a heartbeat. In the not too distant future .1's will be good buying at mid- high 1's - low 2's, given their performance etc. Once you are getting into the 3's you'd want a .2. I will add that I don't know why people would use a picture of their car getting flogged (especially at an event like Targa Tas) on a for sale listing, seems odd to me. I remember reading Unique Cars as a kid and seeing worked Commodore's etc. for sale and the single pic would be of it doing a huge burnout - not something that I would have thought is beneficial to the sale. Hey, maybe that's just me. MFX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PO is highly respected Ortho surgeon, so I would think the repairs would have been done properly, with cost a secondary consideration. PCH have the car, not sure if it is on consignment or whether they have bought / traded the car. I think he must be concentrating on sailing now (as a family), and has given up Tarmac rallying?
