CapnHyaku Posted 17January, 2021 Report Share Posted 17January, 2021 A wild 996.2 C2 Targa appears. I think they are maybe asking for a bit much? From the description I am guessing the IMS gibbed the engine and it had a rebuild? https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/porsche-911-2003/sse-ad-6966185 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it despite the price a good example? and given doing all the key work which Carsales copy aficionados like to read , has been done and opted for the infinitely more pricey, infinite oil feed solution , could suggest a heartfelt and sorrowful sale ..? putting a related thread comment here about rising values , 2016 had around 1000 p cars for sale at the peak of madness, last time I checked less than 1000 are listed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamr Posted 18January, 2021 Report Share Posted 18January, 2021 @michel ... I guess at first it might have been for a flip (nothing wrong with that .. I thought about it) but with $11k being spent since purchase, I'm now thinking in further than wanted $$$ wise. Hoping that's not the case as buying and owning one is exciting for a lot of people and having to sell cause so far in is sad. As for the IMS .. no idea if it was done before purchase or after as the original seller was short and brief in their description. The price has been dropped since first listing, but (for this moment in time) still priced too high. If it checks out condition wise and service wise, then it'll fall in the $85k - $90k range .. of course as we all know, a car is worth what someone is willing to pay, and being really sought after, and none for sale, it could easily go higher ...

Nikos Posted 18January, 2021 Report Share Posted 18January, 2021 You'd think any C4S on the market for sale should at the very least include a photograph of the rear highlighting those wide hips. TwoHeadsTas, KGB and Fishcop 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
