Not much of a price difference between the silver 996.2 and this 996.... If I sell my M3 the chase will be on, just wish I had the balls to just leap in buy one and worry about selling the M3 down the track ☺️ Starting to get the FOMO itch!

Buy one, own one and experience the drive as well and you'll realise what great value they actually are overall, including cheap purchase price, compared to other 911's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noticed the black one's been reduced to 45k. https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2001-Porsche-911-Carrera-996-Manual/SSE-AD-5815855?pageSource=details&id=SSE-AD-5815855 Does the new engine let this car qualify for a discount or is it the right price.

PDean Posted 10December, 2018 Report Share Posted 10December, 2018 That would be right, heading off to Thailand in a couple of days, not much time to do anything. I remember a couple of yrs back a X51 spec blue 996 came up for sale at Autohaus @ 55k after I went on holidays. Might have to stop having holidays😂 Or join the Boxrod movement!

I get all the trolls and tyre kickers, we all get them when selling a car. Just can’t comprehend such a large price drop so soon.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone might get lucky and actually pick it up for 41...or perhaps the interest this stirs up they get closer to there original asking price anyway, just a bit quicker.

The price drop makes a nice change from those sellers who start at $x then add $10k to the price after fielding a few calls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a legit price drop but hardly seen like that so quicky, I think the last half of your sentence Dave, and like DT said above, is more like it - maybe he now negotiates upwards to near the initial price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mttel Posted 14December, 2018 Report Share Posted 14December, 2018 Often though that this one could be worth a closer look. If it’s been done right and there was a bit of wriggle room could be a decent pick up https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2001-Porsche-911-Carrera-4-996-Auto-AWD/SSE-AD-5229233?pageSource=details&id=SSE-AD-5229233 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
