t888 Posted 20June, 2021 Report Share Posted 20June, 2021 Only one year to go until the first 996s can be imported under the rolling 25 year import scheme. No doubt aus delivered cars will continue to hold a premium but might provide a new entry point for some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the way prices have been moving in the UK it might not be such a great difference - importing and compliancing will gobble up about A$10k... maybe still worth it as you say for the entry point.

I’d consider a HK import, but not a UK. As @Avon says, you’re already $10k in on the import costs. It only makes sense for the exotic stuff like GTs and maybe Turbos.

We really are a lot luckier here. I quite like their videos and agree 100% it’s shocking when you see their cars on the hoist compared to looking under mine! That car looked fantastic on speed yellow. Do we know whether any 4S were delivered to Australia in that colour? Tips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Sibley (that911guy on Instagram and Youtube) is a journo/editor of Total 911 magazine who bought a series 1 996. He's been documenting the process of fixing his car up for the past year or so, which has been very interesting if you were in the market for one. Pretty sure I wouldn't be buying from the UK with the condition his car was underneath though! JWM, P-Kay, Fishcop and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Constantly increasing prices and feeling under insured! I've taken a policy with Enthusiast who were the easiest and most receptive to to deal with - $92k agreed on my manual C4S with 61kms - to keep costs down though, I've gone with a named driver and limited kilometer policy to keep it under $800 per year. Costs would be much higher for a daily. For anyone following the manual C4S cars, you'd know I'm still under insured Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
