Dave997S Posted 16January, 2019 Report Share Posted 16January, 2019 On 08/01/2019 at 18:32, romeodelta said: Hey guys, new here. I’ve been looking for a 987 for a few months now, without success. Ideally looking for an MY06 or later 2.7 manual. Why are there so many autos?! Not really fussed on colour, but condition and history is important. That said, I’m not sold on the cocoa or terracotta interiors (sorry Peter). Located in VIC but will travel/ship interstate for the right car. I’m across most currently advertised on the usual sites, but if you’re considering selling or spot something I might find interesting, please message me. Thanks all. @TwoHeadsTas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mttel Posted 20January, 2019 Report Share Posted 20January, 2019 Interesting mod to the front putting on a 996.2.

That’s going the extra mile to use a period correct camera for the age of the car. Doesn’t seem dodgy at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think someone has enjoyed the hell out of that, I would love to know the maintenance log on it! My Evo which I bought new in July 2007 had just turned 302,500. Every 5,000km it has been to the selling dealer for it's service. I've just about run out of service coupons in the book. Impeccable service history should I ever sell it. There's no reason why a car of the calibre of the Porsche should not hit very very high mileage with good service history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troubleshooter Posted 23February, 2019 Report Share Posted 23February, 2019 The silver one up above is down again now to $11800. Never seen a car yard behave like this, they've dropped the price about 6 times in a month or two and wiped off about 3 or 4 grand....

In dealer world that’s a car they would want to move on quickly Troubleshooter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
