reso18 Posted 20November, 2020 Report Share Posted 20November, 2020 What do you all think of values relating to a 996.2 manual C2 Coupe with a rebuilt engine with 3.9L nickasil cylinders? Does this increase value or make it easier to sell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d speculate the factory car may have broader appeal, as it’s untampered internally and maybe achieve a bigger sale # . The 3.9 may sell just as quick as the stocker. Cause it’s got more mumbo and done by Hartech and will appeal to those like myself, who don’t put much stock in stock . Some may pay as much or more for the upgrades. .. is there parallel with AC market for modded powered up cars ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted 20November, 2020 Report Share Posted 20November, 2020 When I was looking as a first time 996 buyer, I would have (and did) go for the very stock car. As I’ve learnt what can go wrong with the M96, I’d happily buy a Hartech rebuild for sure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will definitely have a much smaller buying pool as most seem to go for originality. I would suspect you could ask similar money to an original car, but it will probably take a lot longer to sell.

I actually rebuilt the engine myself but had Hartech carry out the block repairs/upgrades. Even worse the car came with no service history so i went ahead and replaced EVERYTHING using mostly genuine porsche gear. I think it would be geared toward a niche market. 1 minute ago, MFX said: I am with the others. I would be happy to buy that if it checked out, but I am not the typical Porsche buyer.

I figured as much, If you decide to rebuild/build yourself a M96 for the roxster shoot me a message as i may be able to help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disco Posted 21November, 2020 Report Share Posted 21November, 2020 So getting seller’s remorse! I love that car and I’m not selling for another one.

Car looks great mate, this finer weather will bring out the buyers for sure! Keen to hear about the interest level on it.

For spirited road driving at least I’ve never felt the lack of LSD in my 99 C2. My Alfa 147 GTA on the other hand is like a fully loaded shopping trolley with a bung wheel without an LSD.

CapnHyaku Posted 23November, 2020 Report Share Posted 23November, 2020 If this sells just shy of 100K the C4S will have reached a new level of silly in my opinion: https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/porsche-911-2004/sse-ad-6924981 tomo and BOC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
