The only reason I didn't consider it was the UK thing ... but that's my personal hang up and nothing to do with the quality of the car.

Well, the UK import issue is something that has to be taken into account, as it will affect you at the 'other end'. Also, not sure of the colour. I think it was 'Meridian silver'..? Kind of silver, but with pink hue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But don't forget that the entry point is lower so low in and low out. Where's the pain in that? Or think of it another way....lose 20% depreciation over the ownership period (as an example) on a smaller amount is always better. Where's the pain in that? But given that all Porsches are imported in to Australia then I'm always going to struggle with the argument 'it is an imported car'.....good grief. firstone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But given that all Porsches are imported in to Australia then I'm always going to struggle with the argument 'it is an imported car'.....good grief. Whether it's a rational argument or not, it's a thing. I personally wouldn't buy a UK car no matter how much cheaper it was. A 20% discount doesn't interest me at all. As I said above, it not about a particular car, it's about the origin for me. This "thing" with UK cars decreases the buyer pool. I get the buy in cheap, sell cheap, but if there is a smaller number of buyers for these cars, ultimately it's a harder sell. This has just been seen with the one from AH ... over the last few months, 6 - 8 cars sold around it (all Aussie cars btw) for much higher prices ...

luzzo Posted 10September, 2020 Report Share Posted 10September, 2020 The 9964S (Import) that was on Carsales, and now Auctioned at Gray's, just finished. $55,809 + 5.5% buyers premium, $58,878. Plus Reg, and everything else it may need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it didn't need too much to bring it up to great mechanical standard. The one part of the Auction process that makes it hard to know, with no PPI possible. But, like you say @Harsh, if you're just buying to drive & enjoy, great up-front saving. Harsh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems only one man C4S coupe on market left for now. The grey $95k car. Wonder how long that will last. I’ve already been approached if I want to part with my Lapis. Seems the word has spread. Dave.

Naldz88 Posted 17September, 2020 Report Share Posted 17September, 2020 Interest increasing in the last remaining Aus delivered manual as well according to car sales! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KGB Posted 17September, 2020 Report Share Posted 17September, 2020 There’ll be more... Curious to see how prices will go. Seems like a good one, with 50-80km, sits at the mid 70’s to mid 80’s? Kinda half the price of an equivalent 964 or 993. If you could find such low km cars. Dreamr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally get it ... but still, must be nice feeling to at least have been approached.. 😀 On another note ... did anyone here end up with that Lapis Blue C4S that just sold?? ... would love to hear more about it if yes! ... that's been the only action for quite some time on these cars!

Dreamr Posted 17September, 2020 Report Share Posted 17September, 2020 Found this on a 996 Facebook page. They used a reflective tape and I absolutely love it .. nice and subtle. It’s a real throwback to the 993 .... but ... I can’t get into it at all when light gets on it at night. Thoughts?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot have done it in non reflective ... the trick is to do it subtly enough so that it blends in and doesn't just look like it's stuck on vinyl (even though it is) .. one of the reasons I liked the above so much .. kind of a ghosting effect. The originals were imprinted from behind so were subtle enough .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
