James P Posted 26November, 2019 Report Share Posted 26November, 2019 WOVR only applies to vehicles under 15 years old, plenty of damaged cars over 15 years old are back on the road this way including many track damaged Porsches The WOVR includes any light vehicles (up to and including 4.5 tonnes gross vehicle mass, or GVM) and motorcycles that are less than 15 years old, which have been assessed as a write-off. 1 hour ago, dan_189 said: $10,250 - i'd say another 10k to get it all repaired and the buyer/repairer will probably sell for ~35k and make 15k off someone who will do a PPSR check and it comes back "clean"... The system has failed in this instance. The system has not failed see my above post.. it will cost way more than $10k to fix & was probably bought for parts by a wrecker GC9911 and Rod C 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troubleshooter Posted 26November, 2019 Report Share Posted 26November, 2019 That's a $30,000 shop fix at least … no way it's worth repairing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taffy Posted 1December, 2019 Report Share Posted 1December, 2019 Wow that is a serious hit, it is possible to do a front end replacement on one of these as the built is sections. Basically windscreen forward can be removed (split spot welds etc etc) and a new front end put on (new or off a boxster possibly), not a cheap or easy job. Doubt it would be worth it for a 996 CAB, would probably make the 10K back in parts though engine / box / etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MFX Posted 8December, 2019 Report Share Posted 8December, 2019 2 hours ago, LeeM said: Well come on then! It is a good honest car. 147k kms, showing some signs of its age in the grey interior. Hasn't had the IMS done 😲, has a small weep from the RMS. The body and paint appear to be original. So overall I think it looks like a good car. Also has a couple of small mods like a fister mod/gundo hack. That is a mod definitely worth doing. No drone on the freeway, but when you put your foot into it it sounds fantastic. Also has H&R cup kit suspension which is firm but not stupid. I was quite comfortable on my 2.5 hour drive home and I think the ride height looks great. Has a BMC intake and to top it off it has the clear heaadlight and tail light update which looks great, but it came with the old ones and the factory rims. Oh and it also has some spacers to just make the rims sit out nicely Stepo, KeyboardWarrior77, micknine01 and 18 others 20 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PIC Posted 8December, 2019 Report Share Posted 8December, 2019 Seams quite a few people are starting to realize the 996 is a great 911 and perhaps even appreciate it's beauty. Congrats, Jeff Well done. JWM and MFX 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilG Posted 10December, 2019 Report Share Posted 10December, 2019 Hi all I’m new to this forum and keen on a 996 as it’s a great model and in my price range. Looking at one on Carsales and wondering if anyone can recommend a PPI place in Gold Coast? Thanks, Phil This is the one: https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/1999-Porsche-911-Carrera-996-Manual/SSE-AD-6368486 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 10December, 2019 Report Share Posted 10December, 2019 Looks good and well priced mate. Find out who did the servicing and when, and try to have a PFA member get some eyes on it before a ppi Harsh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not 100% sure I’m thinking of the right car but I think someone might have been and looked at that one, or at least talked to the owner a fair bit? Might be worth a scroll back a few pages of this thread to check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
