D2000 Posted 5November, 2020 Report Share Posted 5November, 2020 1 hour ago, Nikos said: Had a similar situation where I recently sold the wifes 10yr old Kluger with 105,000km's. Priced it just below other listed and it sold within 1 week to the first enquiry. $17K Last month sold a company 2010 GXL Prado Manual with 245,000km's with some 4WD accessories. Sold in 1 week also to the first enquiry. Sold for $25K! Couldn't believe how well Prado's hold their value. We bought it new at $55K back in 2010. Everyone seems to want a 4WD or SUV for domestic travel at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shedpest Posted 6November, 2020 Report Share Posted 6November, 2020 With the over-inflated prices of the 996's of late, then this looks like good value. https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2005-porsche-911-carrera-997-auto/SSE-AD-6871405/?Cr=2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but half the fun of Porsche ownership is buying, meeting and interacting with other Porsche owners.

disco Posted 6November, 2020 Report Share Posted 6November, 2020 4 months, bought mid July. Something out of the blue has come up. Shame as it’s a great car and just did major service and 1 year rego. Oh well. 🤷♂️ Dave. hugh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a stupid question ... buy why through CTS? ... surely the market is hot enough to sell privately ... @blue_ixxi .. get in touch with Dave! ..

A mate of mine bought it from CTS, sold it back through there and bought it back again when the new Owner wanted to sell it. He then sold it again through CTS, before you bought it Dave.

trm Posted 7November, 2020 Report Share Posted 7November, 2020 What's your opinions on a 996 with only 3 years of history from the current owner i.e. no service books or previous records? Clutch and IMS have been done by current owner. What is the "discount" people would consider from the appropriate current market value assuming it's a clean car?

LeeM Posted 7November, 2020 Report Share Posted 7November, 2020 Not much really. Demand out stripping supply can have sellers saying "I know what I have" and wait for a buyer who won't question its history. You pays your money and take your chances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
