That was cheap buying that car Haha, I was sure he was heading up to Windy Point, as I saw him about 100m from the Springbank road lights 😁 Will let you know if we're heading to Clarendon this Sunday morning, yet I have a busted toe, so braking isn't much fun at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted 16November, 2018 Report Share Posted 16November, 2018 How did you do that @LeeM? I broke a toe 15 odd years ago during a cricket game - it still gives me grief! Unfortunately mine is on my clutch foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kicked the missus in the arse for not washing my car 😁 Nah, our kitchen island bench actually. I wouldn't recommend it. Right foot, so braking hurts like a mofo. Broke coupla toes and a few bones on my left foot when I was racing bikes 12 years or so ago. Still can't wear steel capped boots (I have to wear the sandshoe ones) and still hurts every day I can't work as I am unable to wear the shoes so I'm buggered doing much at all at the moment 😩 Morpheus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen it up close and it is in reasonable nick. A few panels don't line up 100% and the front bumper has some dimples. Other than that it seems honest.

He has tried to sell that a couple of times before and as it says in the ad it’s been previously written off and still using the old photos of it too it seems high$$ to me.

Was looking back thru my notes from when I was looking 12 mths ago, there was a silver 98 manual with 86000kms on WOVR for $39990 in Melbourne. Looked to have some good options too - LSD, Sports susp, recent audio upgrade etc. No idea what it sold for, and it did sit there for a while. I would think it was probably at a 20% discount at least to the market, so yes, definitely agree this one is overpriced, probably is closer to a $50k car on the WOVR basis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something that you can get from the register is when the car was added (and where). This will give you some idea of the extent of the damage - eg another 98 car I looked at was added to the register in I think it was 2003, so, presumably that car would probably have been a $125k+ car at that time, so for the insurance co to write it off, it must have been a huge hit and very expensive to repair, whereas, if it was only added 3 or 4 years ago, then even a comparatively small hit that involved body panels could have been a $20-$40k repair, therefore written off even though much less damage and a better repair possible. I had an $11k repair claim from a very low speed frontal impact accident 6 months ago, and there certainly didn;t appear to be much damage visually.

DT Posted 20November, 2018 Report Share Posted 20November, 2018 This looks like a very nice, low km, C4 coupe, in a great colour. Perhaps a tad optimistic pricing, but negotiable, and still apparently 100k less than a comparable 964, the prior holder of the most unloved 911 award. https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/altona-meadows/cars-vans-utes/2001-porsche-911-carrera-4-manual/1201077903 Ooooh and a very nice looking mk2 manual targa with similarly low k's: https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/glenhaven/cars-vans-utes/2004-porsche-911-targa/1201509712 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
