cafe_racer Posted 5February, 2018 Report Share Posted 5February, 2018 Hi All, So i'm on the hunt for a targa, basically anything with an interesting interior (not black) and any external colour other than black. Australian delivered and matching numbers would be ideal. Happy with something on the cheaper side as that will leave me some cash to restore it. If more on the expensive side it would have to be in good condition. Budget - $60-80k for something that needs a bit of work $100k for something mint. This would be my ideal car + fuchs http://classicthrottleshop.com/1982-porsche-911-sc-targa-chiffron-white/ So my hope is that someone has something they are sitting on that isn't on carsales that wants a nice smooth transaction.

That would be $50k purchase + $15k interior $15k engine/mechanics $15k respray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skidmarks Posted 5February, 2018 Report Share Posted 5February, 2018 Also think about a 964 Targa. Emerging as the cool thing of 2018. @symsy might be worth a try ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone please correct my maths on this. Let's say you get it for $20k USD = $25k AUD + $5k shipping and insurance to Australia from Hawaii = $30k + GST (no duty due to car's age) = $33k landed? An early targa with a 3.0 is right up there for me, love the colour too. Correct that ride height, tidy up the interior (needs only a little) and happy days.

Your figures are not that far away if it was a west coast USA, car but add the complications of Hawaii and asbestos and you will be up for significantly more.

More from Hawaii because it is not a regular shipping route to Australia? What do you do about the potential for Asbestos in gaskets and brake pads? I guess you can show evidence that the brake pads have been replaced with certified parts not containing Asbestos, gaskets might be more difficult to prove...

Troubleshooter Posted 7February, 2018 Report Share Posted 7February, 2018 Buy one here. It's no bargain. Lefty import Targa 76, wrong engine, wrong colour, most people wouldn't pay anywhere over $45 and yes it may be all good, but you can't look it over, check anything, can't even test drive it - no guarantees at all, and you've still gotta go through the hassle and hope there's no hidden costs. Murphy's law, if there can be extra unaccounted for costs, there usually is..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
