Yeah, I think the original price was probably more accurate with all of the new work done, in the current market. But this seller has added it on top. As you rightly said in your original post, there's a few sellers just seeing how far they can push it at the moment. tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But unfortunately its a sellers market atm. Many parts of the community aren't affected financially by covid and have money burning a hole. More importantly is what happens to any over leveraged person in any market when the music stops. tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are people finding the money? The mob I contract to in the building/reno game did their biggest year on record this past 12 months, and it's not slowing down. In fact, we could do with another 5 chippys just to keep up. Nearly every client I've spoken to have said they can't travel, so they're doing reno's and buying whatever they want. I was reliably told the kitchen company we do pull outs for are doing a million a month in sales, double last years sales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Price on FB is $75k up from the previous $67.5 on CS. I can’t link to FB, but it’s in buy sell swap Aus. But there’s a long list of work done there. Not a fan of the headlight treatment though… It's not what I'm after, but it was close by so thought I'd take a look. It needs paint correction badly and a PO has been a ring wearer so the interior has a lot of visible scratches (steering wheel, gear shifter, door handles, etc.) The car has been lowered to within an inch of its life but the seller is not sure what was actually done to achieve "the look". I suspect it just has lowered springs. To accomodate the oversized 19" wheels the guards have also been rolled. The exhaust, although not overall loud at idle, drones at highway speeds. The front bumper has been repaired and doesn't sit quite right. There's a few other bits and bobs around the car that need attention, nothing major, a missing lever to flip the drivers seat forward for example. All in all not a bad car from a maintenance point of view but already overpriced even before you sort the suspension, exhaust, and paint, and the seller is not particularly flexible on price as he feels he has something "very special". EDIT: Forgot to mention it's been tracked. Some people won't care but others will so I thought it worth mentioning.

But that’s the underlying problem with the current market. It seems people have decided the “ugly” 911 isn’t actually that ugly after all. And that has coincided with a lack of supply, particularly with good cars. For all the carry on about there being “too many of them made”, the fact that the 996 wasn’t an enthusiasts’ car from day one will inevitably mean there’s a higher percentage of rough/mistreated/molested examples out there than previous 911 models. That makes finding a clean 20+ year old example more challenging. Fishcop and MARTY 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWM Posted 12July, 2021 Report Share Posted 12July, 2021 So what price would a 996.1, 100km, full history, IMS and all the usuals done, suspension refresh done, excellent condition, fetch? There’s such a spread in prices but seems like up to $70k wouldn’t be mad at the moment? Shedpest 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MFX Posted 12July, 2021 Report Share Posted 12July, 2021 I bought my 150k km, manual around 18 months ago and it was the cheapest in the country and I paid $40k (and I made a video about it ). I think the realistic price for a reasonably sorted, IMS done, C2 manual is around $60k at the moment. I do think that the 'covid frenzy' is starting to die down a bit. I personally don't think prices will go backwards much, I think there will just be less people rushing to buy overpriced cars because they have cash burning a hole in their pocket.

That seems about right at the moment, that nice looking purple .1 that sold recently pretty much fitted that bill and was advertised at 69k. Guess it comes down to supply and demand, the two at 53 and 55 would seem to suggest less demand at the moment, maybe that’s a product of the lockdowns or maybe everyone’s getting new kitchens.

I pity the fool that will turn up and proudly proclaim it's the same as the Turbo without a turbo... only to find out... it's not. And it needs to get the IMS fixed.

I was speaking to another member about these 2 cars. Do we think that the buyer of the black one changed his mind at the last minute and bought the silver one instead??
