hugh Posted 28January, 2018 Report Share Posted 28January, 2018 Hi, I'm looking for a neat 911 SC for a good friend - anyone have anything locked away that they may consider moving on? Preferences at this stage are; - Coupe - Man - More original the better (ideally RHD, non-converted) Original colour etc. If the car is located in Vic that's a bonus. Feel free to PM me with any leads. Budget is flexible pending the condition/proposition of the car. Cheers, Hugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bear924 Posted 29January, 2018 Report Share Posted 29January, 2018 Yes. I've now started a thread in the for sale section. The PFA community was just too quick is sniffing out my listing before I managed to get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D2000 Posted 9February, 2018 Report Share Posted 9February, 2018 Or just do PPI and if checks out fly up, test drive, buy it if you still like it then either drive home or drive it to CEVA. That's what I did with my car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bear924 Posted 9February, 2018 Report Share Posted 9February, 2018 I actually purchased my SC sight unseen. Flew to Melbourne and drove it home... must admit to feeling relief when I eventually saw the car in the flesh. Took a deposit on the SC today, nice bloke who I've suggested should check out this PFA website place (waves hello if J is visiting for the first time!!) Always a mixed feeling when you sell something that is associated with so many great memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamr Posted 9February, 2018 Report Share Posted 9February, 2018 @Bluegus73 That should have been you placing a deposit (see above) ....

davidtran Posted 11February, 2018 Report Share Posted 11February, 2018 Just be patient, keep your eyes open and don't be afraid of cars that are listed interstate. I think at the moment it's a buyers market with the current pricing. My car was 1/11 I actually got checked out and it's what i would consider very clean and low kms. Even then it was advertised for a month before i bought it. Don't be put off by the excessive asking prices.

I'll pick you up for the airport and we'll go for a drive - We'll meet Wayne halfway somewhere. I can also tell you that its a very nice car after having spent some time with it recently. I'm serious - hit me up.. EDIT - just read Wayne's post.. Good job fella - a very sweet car indeed.. Maybe the one that got away but I'm pretty sure now that I want one from the mid 70's... And thanks very much for your time, was good to catch up. Right, so now my cats out of the bag - who's go a 70's Carrera they want to part with.! D.

bear924 Posted 13February, 2018 Report Share Posted 13February, 2018 WOKA's car confirmed to me how under rated 996s are. A 70s 911 and a 996 would be a sweet collection!

It would seem to me that the market isn't as hot as it was a few years ago, however I did have consistent interest in my car while advertised with a number of phone numbers to call if the sale falls through. So I'd suggest that if you find a car that ticks the boxes for you, don't over think it otherwise there's a good chance that car might not hang around. When you see the right car for you, you will know. Trust that instinct and go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidtran Posted 13February, 2018 Report Share Posted 13February, 2018 You might have had interest, but you may have priced it right too. Anything above $100k on carsales hasn't moved. Unless you've got a 1 owner car with 150,000kms in a good colour combination I think. I enquired on 3 of the cars that are currently on carsales and have been from 3-12 months. It was actually interesting, one of the sellers told his car was perfect and an investment that won't be heading anywhere but north with pricing. I then asked him why he has dropped the price twice. He didn't really know what to say to that. Another seller said his mate sold a similar car 12 months ago for what he is asking and that's why he priced it like that. Needless to say all 3 cars are still there. I did good with mine. Seller was realistic and actually needed it gone. That being said it was there for a month before I purchased it. There are quite a few good cars up at the moment, just unrealistic prices. I think you just need to be patient. As I've said before I purchased the car to drive, not as an investment. I honestly think that we have hit the ceiling and that was a while ago. The market does reflect that, but that's just my opinion. If my car is worth 10k less than what I paid for it in 3 months so be it. My advice would be that if you're looking at entering the market, just be patient. There aren't a lot of people that have the means to dump 100k into an SC or 3.2, so you don't need to rush, wait for the right car for the right price and go for it.
