Optimistic price though? https://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/Porsche-911-Carrera-2003/OAG-AD-16551013 I know the owner. He buys and sells through them regularly. It's a nice car. He has three cars for sale there at the moment. He just bought a 991.2 from them. 47 minutes ago, Tips said: Was just chatting with a contact at Dutton’s who now own CTS and he said you would be surprised at how many cars they recycle for customers through trade ups or cash in situations. They currently have my old Ferrari 328 GTS for sale. The owner bought it from them, when I sold it, via the CTS. The same cars are bought and resold regularly through them. Cheers, Geoff.

JulianG Posted 6November, 2018 Report Share Posted 6November, 2018 Better value proposition at $58K - rebuilt engine or top end at least, and I'll assume clutch and the while your in there stuff given the $25K bills .... the way I like my 20 year old and 150+Kilo cars ... https://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/Porsche-911-Carrera-1998/OAG-AD-16584363/?Cr=58 Troubleshooter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeM Posted 7November, 2018 Report Share Posted 7November, 2018 Nice looking car. I can have a look if anyone needs me to. Or maybe that's a bad idea and I trade mine in on it. Perfect combination silver n black @James P are the engine mounts easy to see? I might be near there later today Morpheus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be near there later today You can see the top of the mounts but the part where they sag is hard to see without pulling things apart, the exhaust tips should be a lot closer to the bar Go on trade in the old air-cooled thing for some proper driving & working 911 all it needs is M030 suspension & its the same as mine..

Providing IMS was done with rebuild, I would have thought that a reasonable value, given the kms it has done, would be somewhere in region of $52.5 - $55k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilH Posted 7November, 2018 Report Share Posted 7November, 2018 Sounds OK on price given the engine work. I bought my 1999 C2 in mid 40's then had the IMS solution, brakes, and a few other things "while they were in there", so buying one with nothing done is not going to end up cheap. The car I bought had Aero Kit and GT3 suspension but would owe me around what this one is advertised for. Manual 996's are getting harder to find so this one looks to be "reasonable". I think Lee should buy it... LeeM and James P 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just goes to show how good a mk1 can look when photographed well. Engine mounts are a cheap and quick fix. With the engine rebuild, if the rest of the car checks out I'd say 55k is great value.

Wow. i haven't been around this thread in awhile decided to check back in, wow 55k for 190k kms 996.1, seems like prices have definitely shot up in the last year huh. i guess a full rebuild helps, but all the other bits will be 190k kms? wasn't too long ago a car like that was .. 35k. anyway happy at the way prices are going!
