LeeM Posted 23February, 2021 Report Share Posted 23February, 2021 Aaaah the dentists old car! I nearly bought that, but procrastination got the better of me (as usual).

DT Posted 23February, 2021 Report Share Posted 23February, 2021 4 hours ago, Tips said: @LeeM arena red 😉 maybe a tad optimistic on price for those km’s but engine rebuild and long term maintenance stuff done Check out this 1998 Porsche 911 Carrera 996 Manual On https://www.carsales.com.au.https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/1998-porsche-911-carrera-996-manual/SSE-AD-5946190 Engine rebuild, new clutch and flywheel, seems good buying to me in the current market. Location doesn’t help. Arena red never did it for me, until Jethro’s vid. Tips and tomo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess what I am saying is it needs pimping out tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t888 Posted 24February, 2021 Report Share Posted 24February, 2021 There was a time when that high kms would've been a very hard sell. Is the porsche community no longer scared of this kind of mileage for what is now a 23 year old car, or does the engine rebuild address the concern?

My S2 had done 179000ks when I bought it, I had Buchannans do a comprehensive refresh (but no engine rebuild) & it pulled like a freight train for the 5 years I owned it, selling at 226000ks with zero issues. I think if they're looked after they'll run for a very long time. Stepo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it didn't sell a few years back for high 20's, so does that answer the question? Or is it the combination of , been to moon and back, shite colour interior and borderline shite exterior colour. Seems like the CO is stuck with it for life and regrets the day he bought it. LeeM, firstone, tomo and 1 other 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stepo Posted 26February, 2021 Report Share Posted 26February, 2021 Agreed is looks nice, but would think $15k over realistic unless things are moving quicker than I can keep up with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
