Or one with 42km on it that was black on black for sale in NSW. My friend just traded their 2013 manual 981 2.7 for $60k for a new 718 with 45KM on it...... The dealer readvertised it at $79,900 and it was gone within the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakroo Posted 12October, 2018 Report Share Posted 12October, 2018 Do it Kurt. We 'dare' you.....? I like this colour as well. Not the typical beige colours of the Boxster nor the other common as muck yellow (my fave colour in the whole spectrum but it too is common in the Boxster range of that era) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakroo Posted 13October, 2018 Report Share Posted 13October, 2018 @dreamr with his no nonsense approach is your man for the local PFA CC inspection service. I'd also go for a drive up there and have a tyre kick with you Edgy. You could swing past my place, and we could do the Wisemans Ferry to Somersby trip as part of the journey.

firstone Posted 14October, 2018 Report Share Posted 14October, 2018 Bet that's a harsh regret. You'd find a 2.5 for 6k add ims and install. It doesn't make cents for owner or purchaser without a cheap front wreck for parts and ability to do the work imo.

Stephen Tinker Posted 14October, 2018 Report Share Posted 14October, 2018 It just goes to show that the IMS bearing collapsing can still rear its ugly head even when the engine has done over 120,000 km. There are still a lot of people out there that insist that if the motor has a high mileage & no IMS issues then its safe.... obviously not so!

It's ads like these that tell you that you might as well pay the IMS insurance and get it done. Either he can't afford the repairs or he sees it as a waste of money. Either way it's tough to sell a fully working car let alone a non-working one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, mate paid $5.5k for a 2.5, blown motor had just had new IMS in (motor had done 15 mins then big end bolt came undone....). Changed the new IMS bearing into the new motor, so hopefully good for a few kms. Couple of fun things found, new motor was an auto, so found out too late that looms are different, engine out again..... Couple of other differences too, but pretty much all sorted now. All up quite a few hours to do it all, but I think he's re-enthused over things mechanical (talking about finishing his V8 MGB installation that has sat for as long as I've known him - over 30 years...). Few minor things to sort out still, but car is up and going, they drove it to Hobart and back at weekend for our 70th celebrations....
