TINGY Posted 12November, 2018 Report Share Posted 12November, 2018 And oil changes every 1000k's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 12November, 2018 Report Share Posted 12November, 2018 I'll come clean now. I shook hands on a deal to buy this one last Thursday. Black/Savannah beige, 108,000kms, IMS done (with the oil feed line) new 997 clutch, Fabspeed headers and some sort of muffler. Nice clean car and the owner is a fussy mechanic. To cut it short, I have various reasons to do it, yet I would need to sell the backdate to pay for it. After MUCH procrastination, coupla days of overthinking it and a long chat with the missus who is usually the voice of reason, I pulled out of buying it as I can't part with the SC. He's asking $40k, yet there are a couple of people possibly looking at buying it, so hold your horse if you're interested. It's not advertised, nor will it be, so when I know it's still available I can send you the owners number.

LeeM Posted 12November, 2018 Report Share Posted 12November, 2018 Cheers James It would be in my shed if I has the spare coin and able to keep my SC, as it's a really nice car and well looked after by the look of it and the vibe I got from the owner Also, many thanks to @PhilH for coming along to have a look with me.

TINGY Posted 12November, 2018 Report Share Posted 12November, 2018 996 or Cayman me thinks Maybe it should be Porsche Hunter because that's basically what i am doing, I've actually been looking for months, but isn't everyone on here doing that?

DT Posted 12November, 2018 Report Share Posted 12November, 2018 Holy crap @LeeM that must've been a tough few days, seems like a very good deal on a very nice car...I've already got one and it's had me thinking if I need two!

But I totally understand not being able to part with your SC backdate. It was a sleepless coupla nights I can assure you. All in all the missus made some very valid points after I've put a fair amount of work into it, and said she would prefer I put a few grand into finishing the body and paint on the SC over time and be happy, rather than buying something I don't really want just to put some cash off the house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiller Posted 13November, 2018 Report Share Posted 13November, 2018 Lee sounds like the deal of the century! I understand the sleepless nights but reckon you made the right call in the end. The other option would be to buy it, use it for a couple of months and flip it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
