PDean Posted 27March, 2019 Report Share Posted 27March, 2019 Maybe given enough time the earliest .1 will level peg with .2 or overtake it as the last of the "pure" back to basics 911's. Tintin Audio 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been thinking much like Pdean that the first gen 98 year model might be a good longer term proposition. Feedback I’m hearing is the 3.6 and S tip in the .2 is a better combo as well as trim less plastc. lower km .1’ coupes I am seeing around the $40k mark and then .2’s closer to $50 for good cars with history. I would be interested in some opinions of owners on the .1 over .2 and as I’m getting close on pulling the trigger on a 996 tip as a daily and longer term hold for the next iteration of my P car journey. Once I clear the Macan off the books I will then look to add an AC to the back of the garage for weekends to complete the set.

Pity the Macan doesn't have 200kg or so higher towing ATM we might have been able to come to a trade deal - I'm now looking to replace my Territory as tow vehicle for our caravan and we need ATM of at least 2600kg. Must admit a Touareg is probably front runner at this stage, can get a 5 year newer and 70000km less one for same price as a Cayenne, doesn't really make much sense to buy The Cayenne I'm afraid. But, I've had a good local bite on my 996.2 purely from a for sale sign at a car show last weekend, so get in quick @Tips if you're interested 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m very interested but you might not like my price though😮 I’d even throw a tow bar on the macan if u want do do a trade deal. It’s sitting at PCSS getting a service so only a call away!!!

Sorry mate, towing the van with the Macan would be illegal and void my insurance, even though it would be (just) within actual weight, as we never fill the van right up and make use of the 400kg weight allowance. And you mightn't like my price on Macan either 🙂 Make me a PM offer on the 996 anyway, who knows....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally not keen on anything with 200k plus km on it, but that doesn't stop some people with a lower budget. Might need a quick sale.

Tintin Audio Posted 1April, 2019 Report Share Posted 1April, 2019 I picked up a 98 996 Tip a few years back. It had everything I didn’t really want, Tiptronic, amber lights and Savanna interior, but its crazy low 29,000 Km’s I just couldn’t let it go. I paid $46K, but when you see what you get for your money or for the price of a basic Golf GTI... it’s an absolute bargain. I didn’t pay big bucks for my car, so I’m much more inclined to play around with it and make it my car. Updated brakes, 997 lobster claw wheels (purists would love that), Cargraphic exhaust, rear wiper delete, GT3 side skirts and I even fitted AMG paddle shifters (a must for Tiptronics). I have Cobra Nagaro seats and Bilstein PS10 coilovers on the list next and it won’t stop there Do it and do it soon because there won’t be many good ones left at this rate, or at these prices. Oh... I wouldn’t change the ambers or savanna interior now, it seems to get better with age. LeeM, Rick V, JWM and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
