Fishcop Posted 24May, 2021 Report Share Posted 24May, 2021 Yeah I think it's a solid fishing trip - but it IS currently a unicorn. The seller really should have offered up a better ad to promote the history, IMS (if it's done) and any extras. The only thing more scary than a really high mileage 996 is a really low mileage 996 Strange times - only 5 months ago we were poo-pooing a $95k manual with IMS and sub-100k mileage as being far too expensive/ambitious. A car like that would sell within a few hours now. The CarSales black manual cab C4S for $79k is looking pretty good!

I was wondering when you were going to weigh in on this one .. 😅 Have to agree with the Unicorn comment .. I realise they have increased with everything else, but I don’t think I’d have the kahunas to ask that much .. time will prove me either right OR wrong! ... BTW ... are you allowed to say “poo-pooing” on an open forum?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mezger 997gt3 was less than 150k with less k's than your example I suspect ( was it less than 50,000km) in that same timeframe. How many k's again on that 125k car. If I recall the ratio of track to street k's was well well in excess of 0. ( 997 gt3 was 0). All a bit relative I reckon. The question for some is how far off asking are they transacting at and will these new asking prices for 996's set a new floor going forward . But if you offload whats your changeover to up grade. Probably more than 18 months ago if you stick to watercooled.. I am not convinced many 996 gt3 owners if they were that way inclined would land a like for like upgrade to a 997 gt3 for a 25k eft ex onroads.

KGB Posted 24May, 2021 Report Share Posted 24May, 2021 I reckon if they sell in a week or two it’s got to be at close to ask, longer than that and down she goes, generally. 996 (non-GT Cars) is now fairly priced in relative terms. 6 hours ago, smit2100 said: Cherry picking.

My angle is who gives a toss about cherry picking low range pricing 18 months ago. Shoulda woulda coulda. Markets moved. Unless you have current leads on owners wanting to let go there 996 gt3s for 125k right now or why you think a gt3 in the curent market is only worth 125k what was your angle.

CapnHyaku Posted 25May, 2021 Report Share Posted 25May, 2021 You're all wrong because you're not using the correct currency. 996 value is based on grams of methamphetamine the dealer who currently owns the car will accept payment in.

No reason to think otherwise, but I hope the buyer remembers to ask if it's an Oz car .. Don't want to open that can of worms and nothing wrong if it's not, but if it is, it's a big bargain ... and probably priced about right if not.

t888 Posted 26May, 2021 Report Share Posted 26May, 2021 It doesn't look like it has a sunroof. I think sunroof was standard on Australian delivered cars, at least this is true of the 997. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everytime I have sold a car, I have given a photo of the dash: 1. Before engine start (to show all the error bulbs working) 2. At cold start 3. After warm up (with the clock showing so there is no obvious temp issue) tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s about how long it would take to make one call, send a deposit, check REVS and send the total amount through. It would have sold on the first call.
