Agree re Seal Grey, that's why both our cars are that colour Don't necessarily agree about ride height though, I'm quite happy with standard on both cars... IMO M030 is a great height and is the on the fence option between standard and low! The technical detail is 10mm lower than standard. Checkout a stock USA 996 height, looks like a 4wd!

Guessing sold at asking or close. Must've ticked the boxes coz there's 3 or 4 on CS around the same price been sitting a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was on CS today seems to have sold within the day I saw the listing and was near Chatswood on Friday so dropped over to look at it...and got to learn that they don’t keep the cars they’re selling there ... Their sales guys were out picking up a car apparently, so I headed home. I noticed today it was marked as sold... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkie Posted 14April, 2018 Report Share Posted 14April, 2018 Jumping in on this convo, I'm in the market for a Coupe, Manual. Km's don't worry me that much. My current Boxster has over 200k and it doesn't miss a beat. Ive got a few on my CS saved list. See how I go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gas Posted 14April, 2018 Report Share Posted 14April, 2018 I dropped in to Richmonds today on the way to the airport (had 10min to spare) and may have spoken to the new owner who was looking at it at the same time. The car looked excellent and well looked after. Paint/body pretty immaculate for a car of its age and mileage. Interior from what I could see through the windows looked better than photos on CS.

Looked at it on CS, im one of these blokes that ponders for too long and misses out, then I spontaneously buy something. Ha ha. It's how I got my Boxster. Was not even looking. Sold my 914's off and saw the Boxster. Needed love, chick owner. Low ball offered and she counter offered. Got it home, spent a few $k on it and been loving it ever since. Only reason getting a 996 is the kids sook I won't take them in the Boxster. Plus I get sunburnt. Lol. I should just stick with my Volvo C70 coupes. Ha ha. Im playing the watch the market and see what it's doing. Then I'll go and drive some. I'll take my Boxster with me when I go, just to compare the harshness. 19" on a Boxster is not ideal. bear924 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never know with Carsales, it says “sold” but maybe, as you said, just paused while they’re getting photos etc together. I talked to a couple of people at Autohaus while I was there and no one even knew about it, so it was obviously very new to them. Might have been the car Anthony & Scott had gone to pickup!

Would’ve liked to have more time to road test it. Perfect daily driver and at that mileage, no concerns about ongoing depreciation with every drive. Now who has an honest x51 or aerokitted 1998/99 car that they want to offload? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
