luzzo Posted 7September, 2021 Report Share Posted 7September, 2021 31 minutes ago, KGB said: $75k was my experience 16 months ago. I agree. Would it be possible the discrepancy in @tomo 's experience, is in the details. E.g. A 9964S Coupe with approx 90-120+kms, Tiptronic may have been around $60k. As opposed to a low km 9964S with great history, maybe IMS done in Coupe & Manual - my experience early/mid last year was ~ $75k ish. However, by Oct/Nov 20 (so close to 12 mths ago now) I am aware of at least 3 advertised above $90k. Either way, $110-$120 it seems is the upper end right now (Coupe, Man, history, <100kms).

I think so. Mine went a couple of months ago at the range you mention. I’m fully representative of the past 18 months of C4S fervour. 😜 AJFord 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the discrepancy is concerned just went through all my notes and it is April 2020 not July as stated, As @Mike D'Silva looked at a Cayman for me in March 2020 which I nearly brought but becacuse of covid I could not get a look so reneged on the car as leg room was concern. So went looking for 996's, The cars and prices mentioned are not a figment of my imagination phone conversations were had with dealers and photo copys of log books pertaining to the cars was sent to me . The Cayman was a 2009 S with PDK I think 41000 ks on the clock @$62000.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, Jan 20 purchase of my 6.1 GT3 was pretty optimal timing (quite by accident rather than by design.......). Found my 6.2 C2 hard to sell in the few months after, so that was right at the bottom of that V. Probably better to have had difficulty selling that and bought the GT3 though 🙂 Bit of a case of begging forgiveness from management at the time..... crsedge and GTP911 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finalised the purchase of my C2 in Mar '20, at the time I (like most others) did not expect it to be a good-ish investment. It was not at all clear how the covid thing would shake out and when the opportunity came along it was a "f*ck it" moment, might be the last opportunity to have something fun... might be in a box within months, or societal breakdown, zombies roaming the streets, etc. Instead 18 months later we're just imprisoned at home and everything other than salaries somehow went up by 50-100%.

Nice looking car, compared to other 997’s advertised this looks a fair deal. Offer $95k. Ask for Drive away included if cheeky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spending less for the same excitement just means you have more money going into the piggy bank for your next Porsche addition .

It is a tiptronic cab though and these are generally worth much less than manual coupes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishcop Posted 11September, 2021 Report Share Posted 11September, 2021 This Atlas Grey C4S Cab has popped up again at Port Macquarie. I had a look at it last year. It's Andrew Miedecke's daily (ex V8/supercars owner/driver). It needed a tidy, the cab roof was malfunctioning and the IMS hadn't been looked at. It's an Aussie car and there are full books ect... Now that he's done the IMS and roof, it seems like nice buy in this market if you're after a tipper-cab with the C4S cache https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/port-macquarie/cars-vans-utes/2004-porsche-911-996-my04-carrera-4s-awd-cabriolet-grey-5-speed-sports-automatic-convertible/1281052992 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
