Got it at the originally listed price - figured the price was good enough to take a risk without PPI etc. High kms, but it will be driven. Pick up hopefully tomorrow afternoon. Potential bargain, but also plenty of room in price if you need to spend some $$. Great job. Does show there are well priced ones out there and available if you move quick!! daveyoul 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASHN8 Posted 28February, 2019 Report Share Posted 28February, 2019 22 hours ago, Nugget said: If its not too much trouble, I would appreciate it if you could look at it. I'm not sure when I can down there to view it myself. Things I'm most concerned about: Is the engine noisy, blowing any smoke. Does it drive straight, doesn't pull to one side under braking Are the panel gaps all uniform Any signs of an accident. It had a replacement engine fitted in 2010 with only 22,000kms on it, so plenty of life in the old girl yet. Gearbox was also rebuild in November 2012 also, plenty of receipts to show maintenance and upkeep, and a very fair price. Hope someone here gets it! 7 hours ago, daveyoul said: Short version is this: Saw it on Carsales, called (along with plenty of others I understand), and then got my behind down to Camden... stat.

The seller just sent me details of the original delivery documents and receipts quoting the current engine number and they are the same. You must be thinking of a different car, because the seller assures me he knows nothing about a replacement engine or rebuilt trans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nugget Posted 4March, 2019 Report Share Posted 4March, 2019 I'm looking at a 996 who's owner lives at the end of a badly corrugated dirt road about 1km. I know some 2wd cars tend to rattle themselves to pieces, has anyone had any experience with a Porsche on dirt roads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter John Posted 4March, 2019 Report Share Posted 4March, 2019 I would def get a ppi on that one- get it up on a hoist and see for yourself- poor roads could age a car quickly. There is nothing like looking under a car and seeing a fresh underside free of scratches, stone chips, dust, dirt and mild sand blasting etc. Or, just rally the thing!

I know some 2wd cars tend to rattle themselves to pieces, has anyone had any experience with a Porsche on dirt roads? I wouldn't be too concerned with 1km of corrugated dirt road... has the car lived there all it's life... has the owner done multiple trips in the Porsche each a day, or once a week, or a couple of times a month... have the corrugations always been there? I had a girlfriend who lived 7k's up a dirt road... the first trip out there in the 996 I was freaking out... but I soon stopped worrying, the 996 is a very solid, well put together car. We've since broken up and as far as I can tell apart from a bit of extra dust in the engine bay there's been no obvious detrimental signs...to the car, that is.

356993??? Posted 4March, 2019 Report Share Posted 4March, 2019 What $ would an X51 optioned 996 command over non-X51 now days? Haven’t seen one advertised for a while on the open market and wonder if they were all manual coupes or some cabs were optioned X51 too?
