Fraz Posted 6July, 2018 Report Share Posted 6July, 2018 Probably dragging up a old car for discussion but anyone driven or see this in person. https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-911-Carrera-1998/SSE-AD-5426153 Apart from the horrendous tail she ticks a lot of boxes. Is it the 3.6 now in place which to my mind is a good thing ? If I didn’t already have the turbo this car would be in my shed, it’s screaming out for a GT3 tail, cage, KW V3s coil overs, pole position recaro seats, strip out the rest of the interior, decent set of brakes, exhaust/tune and she’s done all for around $55K I would think. @LeeM please buy this to stop me doing something really silly, these 996s have become a bit addictive once bitten.

Could definately see myself in a turbo one day, funny enough never thought much about the white gauges on the dash but having seen yours I can see why some people would have ticked the box on that one.? Much appreciated for the chance to drive a turbo and sorry I had to rush off.? Next time you need to forget the dials and just get that digital boost gauge to read 1 bar.

If anyone is interested in the following, PM me, as I've had a PPI done, and it's not good news. https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/Porsche-911-2003/SSE-AD-5519283/ Troubleshooter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And agree with @P-Kay - definitely worth the $25 financial membership to access the crowd for a sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco Posted 13July, 2018 Report Share Posted 13July, 2018 $70K will own it. First serious buyer will take this. Compared to what's been selling in the 60's it's a bargain in this spec. Very unique bit of kit. A joy to drive and just a tad under 56000 kms since new. Yeah, will shortly be sending it to Autohaus, so happy to pay membership, but it may be short lived Cheers, Dave.

Need a 5 seater. ? Otherwise a keeper! cheers, Dave. GLWS. Digressing, but i too couldn't get away with another 2 door, and feel your pain. But I can highly recommend a tinkered with BMW e90 m3 if you are after 5 seats as a defacto toy as a sleeper in disguise as a family car and reckon you will have 10 to 15k left over if you get circa 70k for yours. Manuals are bit of a unicorn but. Like a 996 turbo, the 420hp from the factory responds very very well to exhaust work and some other tinkering. The 3rd to 2nd gear dct downshift annoys the crap out of the family but your searching for that as much as you can. My Mrs drives the car in auto mode and has no clue its been tinkered with eg doesn't go over 4000 rpm (hyde). Me on the the other hand, am yet to drive it in auto mode and it comes alive over 4000 rpm (jekyl) and loves being revved like a 996gt3. / tinkered with 996 turbo KeyboardWarrior77 and Troubleshooter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave997S Posted 15July, 2018 Report Share Posted 15July, 2018 Thoughts on this?? 2001 C4 on Car Sales Besides the yelling in the ad, I'm unsure if this represents good value. There are hardly any cars up for sale at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeyboardWarrior77 Posted 15July, 2018 Report Share Posted 15July, 2018 There have been a few Victorians looking for a 996 in the last few months. I'm sure one of them can give us the back story.
