A lot of those listings feel like fishing expeditions on price. And the fees make it an expensive way to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's Collecting Cars so you never know if your bid is a buying bid! ‘No hardtop’, adjust bid accordingly. ‘Rashed wheels’ adjust bid accordingly and/or spend a few hundred dollars at a wheel repairer. ‘Resprayed bumper’, on a near 20 year old car, seriously that’s an issue? ‘They’ll want a fortune for it because of the low k’s’, um possibly, possibly not, guess it depends on your definition of ‘fortune’. ‘Collecting Cars so you never know if your bid is a buying bid!’. As far as I’m aware once the banner ‘No Reserve’ appears the reserve is met and the highest bidder wins. Seems fairly transparent to me.

My response was to ‘This seems like a very nice looking car if you’re after a tipcab. Low k’s too.’ and why I didn’t agree. Not to whether the issues could be fixed. And I’m not the only one here who thinks non transparent sites such as Collecting Cars, Lloyds, etc are poor sites to try to buy from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" @cafe_racer is obviously a skimmer as one too many " 's " and left out an "a" if he quoted the facts. I can't recall coming across at least this decade and half of last decade a non WOVR 997.1GT3 and / or one without a shady history for under 150k (let alone one not tracked and with full porsche dealer servicing stamps). If the 's was indeed the case, I would of quickly and easily gone cold turkey with the boost addiction and happily put fried egg headlight ownership behind me.

DT Posted 10December, 2021 Report Share Posted 10December, 2021 At the risk of provoking an unleashment from the peanut gallery, I need to free up funds for a pending house build and have decided to give Collecting Cars a go selling my C2 manual coupe 996. Reserve is in the mid 60’s. - Yes the IMS has been done - No it doesn’t have full log book history prior to my ownership - Yes I’ve recently spent about 9.5k (inc. IMS bearing) on big ticket items at Auto Art. I’m confident they’ll vouch it’s a well sorted example. - Yes the bumpers have been resprayed! - Yes it drives beautifully and sounds great with the Cargraphic exhaust and ‘orange cap’ mod to the intake with BMC panel filter (original intake parts, inc new OEM filter and exhaust with sale) https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/1999-porsche-911-996-carrera-5 Troubleshooter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe not and I’ll end up having to keep it and not have a kitchen… I can live on takeaway… Also, personally I like the Collecting Cars platform, I’m next to a Pagani that’s currently at 900,000 pounds, hoping some of the zeros fall off onto mine.

Why does anyone care if any part of a 20yo car has been been resprayed? But particularly bumpers. Like, do an inspection, check inside the frunk etc for signs of a big shunt. But the respray itself shouldn’t be such a big deal. They’re literally a body panel designed to impact things. /end rant Good luck with the sale @DT, I hope some of those zeros trickle down to yours!

As much as I partly agree here, and I'm very FAR FAR from being fussy, yet if there's one thing I absolutely hate seeing is body panels (and bumpers) not being colour matched correctly. It just shows a lack of care by the paint shop to do a good job if you ask me. A little hypocritical, as my backdate had probably 22 different shades of silver (nearly every panel was a different colour), though that's down to probably 12 after one side was painted after my stack, yet it's still the only thing that annoys me with my car which I hope to rectify one day...probably tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I am with @Sherpa . I don't see what the issue with respraying a 20+ year old bumper on a car with over 100k on the clock, when done well and seamlessly matching the car. I am sure the same buyers would have knocked the same car if it still had a bumper covered in stone chips. I think some people are delusional and are looking for a car to look at in the garage but never drive for fear of it getting rained on. I think those buyers would be better off with the other prancing horse PDean, tomo, Sherpa and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjm Posted 10December, 2021 Report Share Posted 10December, 2021 I went to a car show at several Mclaren Valley wineries. Different makes at different wineries. There was a stunning Packard, fully restored at great expense. It had stone chips on the front, not many but enough to tell me that it had been driven as intended. Vindicated me not to stress over having my 997 re sprayed at the front. LeeM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
