It looks great, low k's and I would have been interested when I was looking but I just couldn't be bothered going through the whole overpriced thing. I'm sure there is value there for someone, but it's been for sale for a long time and many have been sold around it ..

I don’t mind the colour myself, I just didn’t have the energy to try and get it to a price point that was realistic. I mean if it wasn’t too far away, then yep, worth looking at. But we would have been so far apart that I’m sure they would have taken it as an insult rather than positive criticism. Could it be a “yes I’m trying to sell it dear” scenario? I tried to contact a seller of a 996 Turbo on Carsales and after 3 messages and 2 weeks, he finally got back to me and said ... Sorry for the delay, but I don’t want to give out my number as I’ve had a lot of scammers contact me. I got back to him 20 minutes later and said that I understand as I’ve just sold my SC and get the non genuine buyers. I never heard from him again and I sent 2 more messages. The last one I sent I told him not to worry about me being a genuine buyer, I’m worried about you being a genuine seller .... all of that was nearly 12 weeks ago. 🤯 If you’re on here 996 Turbo seller, yes you missed a genuine buyer! ...🤘 TINGY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Price has definitely been up there... however with recent sales of late, maybe ole mate isn’t as far off as one would think.

disco Posted 30August, 2020 Report Share Posted 30August, 2020 Absolutely!! When I bought my C4S last month at CTS, I had a look at what else was sitting next to it and some cars were literally asking 7 figures! I was like, these Porsche’s are bargains. Dollar for dollar, what else gives you such driving thrills, won’t fall off a cliff in value and has the prestige of a “Stuttgart” badge at the front. Dave.

Great place to park the proceeds from the sale of my SC .. and I’m enjoying the hell out of it!! ... 😃😃 As you and I discussed, if you buy a new BMW 4 series or MB C-class coupe, entry level with a few options, it’ll run you more or less what our cars owe us. 3-4 years time the modern German will be worth half (40% even), how far backwards can we go with the C4S? Maybe our maintenance bills will be $3-4K higher. I’m in the fortunate position where my commute is relatively short, parking super secure, and my workshop is 1 km from the office, it just makes sense. Plus, what a car for the money!
