But I’m sure there aren’t many red cars about, and there are quite a few in Lapis. 964 is the opposite (lots of red). Funny how color popularity has changed, used to be grey and now it’s grey...😂 Fishcop and firstone 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly none of the manufacturers are offering a nice green in a non-special order format at the moment (she got red instead). But I'm sure the pendulum will swing at some point.

tomo Posted 25April, 2021 Report Share Posted 25April, 2021 The 996 wears Red better than most. And I do not think there are many in red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstone Posted 25April, 2021 Report Share Posted 25April, 2021 Red? Fooey I say. The c2 yes, but those c4 hips need a darker colour to accentuate their true beauty. Imo 🤪 Lapis is pretty, and solid pulls it off perfectly. Imo 😘 tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was doing the national park run early this morning south of Sydney with a few mates and the speed yellow 996 turbo recently sold on car sales joined us for a few km.

Stepo Posted 26April, 2021 Report Share Posted 26April, 2021 Looks nice from the pics, that first interior shot takes a bit of getting used to. I think it’ll be sitting for while at that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelF Posted 2May, 2021 Report Share Posted 2May, 2021 Low mileage manual coupe at $88k. https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2004-porsche-911-carrera-996-manual-my04/SSE-AD-7201244/?Cr=0 Little to give away in the description, but certainly pushing the price envelope.

I know these are only advertised prices, but the 'upward trend' is remarkable. An automatic convertible C4S is now scratching for close to $100k https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2005-porsche-911-carrera-4s-cabriolet-996-auto-awd-my04/OAG-AD-19777760/?Cr=2 What is more desirable - the slightly rarer and definitely sexier C4S in tiptronic, or an equivalent C2 in manual? Is a manual cabriolet more desirable than a tiptronic coupe? Interesting times. MichaelF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd hate to be in the market for a Cayman at the moment - they've gone nuts. I went for a group ride with a few mates on Friday & a friend of a friend came along who just purchased a 2014 Cayman 2.7 base a week ago. He's not a car guy - he just liked the car. Purchased from PC Adelaide As part of the conversation I mentioned the rapid uptick in Cayman prices over the last 6 months. He gave me this look & then just went a bit quiet. Not sure if we're going to be mates........ Fishcop and luzzo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
