Mharring Posted 14February, 2020 Report Share Posted 14February, 2020 Hi Guys, I'm new to PFA, and I'm keen to purchase a suitable 996 (manual with no previous accident damage, and good service history). The following car (refer to link) has just been listed, is anyone familiar with this? https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/southbank/cars-vans-utes/porsche-996-911/1241177721 Thanks, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Tinker Posted 14February, 2020 Report Share Posted 14February, 2020 Welcome Mike - be prepared for a lot of questions / answers / good info on here on your quest. The red 996 certainly looks good, but the first question would be who rebuilt the engine and why. If it was a factory crate engine, then that would be a win, but if Joe Bloggs in Kooweerup built the engine I would tread carefully. You would need all the invoices and material list from the workshop to prove the provenance of the rebuild too. And if possible it would be nice to see the stamped Porsche maintenance handbook or at least a folder proving the general history over the last few years. Best of luck....

We will see if I am still saying that after a week in Tassie, but I think it will be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOKA Posted 26February, 2020 Report Share Posted 26February, 2020 That car was for sale four years ago when I was looking for a 996 and when I did enquire all those years ago, nothing but silence. Jog on.. Same car / same pics / higher price.. You think the formula is working..? Next.. Just checking the spreadsheet that I made back then (Feb 2016) - it was listed for $52000 with 90k on the clock. Me thinks the seller is trying to snag an unsuspecting buyer who isn't aware of the 'previously written off' bit.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me thinks the seller is trying to snag an unsuspecting buyer who isn't aware of the 'previously written off' bit.. I know if you look really carefully it says it is previously written off in the spec listing. Why wouldn’t you mention it in the part the potential buyer actually reads? Tell the buyer what happened and where it was repaired. Keeping it on the downlow says to me they’re trying their best to hide it without lying. And that also says to me that the repairs aren’t good and neither are the circumstances of it being written off. So it’s priced way too high in my opinion.
