Did the customer hand in any history of receipts for repairs over time of ownership? If I have only service books to go by it doesn't give me much to go by and raises more questions. 1. No airbag system checks 2. Has coolant ever been replaced 3. Yearly inspection on 28/11/06 should have been a minor service. As such car covered 40,000km without an oil change. Otherwise seems maintained not too bad while car in NSW. Since car living in QLD has had very limited use. 4. Last time had a major service was 30/06/2011 so possibly still has original belts. So belts and fuel filter @ 35,000km overdue. 5. No oil changes recorded for just over 4yrs. 13/8/13 - 13/9/17. 6. Also currently overdue for yearly inspection at the very least. 7. Preventative maintenance such as water pump and air oil separator and life remaining on clutch? Is the hail dent removal repair going through insurance? As this will effect any future and current resale. Just a snippet from email. Couldn't give me any more info on car apart from 2 keys and still original IMS. I guess thats the problem when dealing with car yard. Was told they would use paintless dent removal guy. My question to those out there, is the frunk lid aluminum? Has this compromised paint to panel integrity? Any insurance repair record and people start getting doubts 🤔 Haven't seen personally as currently in Bangkok and even then Melb based. kov 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poli84 Posted 13January, 2019 Report Share Posted 13January, 2019 I'm hoping the 996 brains trust can help me out with a value. A Very good friend of mine is thinking of selling is 996 to upgrade to a 997S and has asked for assistance on what it should be advertised for and what he should take. MY02, silver over dark blue, C2 Coupe, manual. Australian car, nothing sinister with full books and history, 150k kms. Thoughts on current value?

How well it's been serviced. Whether it has any upgrades. etc. etc. If it has had the IMS replaced, that's a $3-4k premium for the headache saved. 15 hours ago, TwoHeadsTas said: Lost track of this thread as I've been out of the loop for most of the week.

Also at 190k kms, it maybe due for engine "revitalisation". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it depends if he wants to sell, or whether he wants to admire it on Carsales for months. There are a few on Carsales in the $60-$65 range that have sat there forever. Overpriced IMO. With IMS done (and FSH), advertised at about $55 should sell for between $50 and $55 fairly quickly for an 02.

Yes FSH and IMS done, no modifications at all except for the Pioneer double DIN screen that the previous owner installed but I believe he has the original stereo for originality.

Morpheus Posted 14January, 2019 Report Share Posted 14January, 2019 @poli84 mine had the original stereo replaced by a double DIN too. Wish the previous owner had kept the original as I’m tempted to change it back now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poli if he I s looking to price it well and look for a quick hassle free sale it might be worth getting him to post on PFA prior to Carsales as there are a few 996 buyers here and removes the attraction to drop kick low ballers and fraudsters.

I'll see what he says. Penalty for blue int, k's, and also unoriginal stereo fitted but reward for IMSB and FSH. If he wants to sell within a few months my thoughts would be put it on for $63 and take $59.... see how many bites he gets over a month or two and if no joy, drop to $59 and take $55. I'd hold fast at $55 .... It all depends how quick he wants the $$$$ for it poli84 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad idea selling through the forum, as there are a few people on here including myself in the market for a 996.
