edgy Posted 3July, 2019 Report Share Posted 3July, 2019 If you are looking for a nice enthusiast owned 986 tipper, this is the car you've been looking for... I will be sad to see it go, not in a hurry so will offer it to PFA first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

base Posted 6July, 2019 Report Share Posted 6July, 2019 Highish mileage and auto, that accounts for some of the low price. If it were manual I’d take a chance on it, but I would never own an automatic car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think @Uncle owned this (or one like it) some years back, if it is the same car Euro delivery via Gemballa for the GTR twin turbo kit was the story iirc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted 13July, 2019 Report Share Posted 13July, 2019 This was Uncles Gemballa from 2014. I had the pleasure of getting a drive. Only sedately around a few streets in Canberra, but it was extremely impressive. edgy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Posted 13July, 2019 Report Share Posted 13July, 2019 I sold it with 35k on it I think but memory is a little fuzzy. There has been a few cars since then. Hmmm might buy it back. firstone, edgy and Niko 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niko Posted 14July, 2019 Report Share Posted 14July, 2019 It's not that far from me, if I get the chance or if anyone is seriously interested in it, I can go and give it a once over tomorrow. Not much time left on it... Be a great Boxrod alright... I shudder to think what would happen if TREVMcRev got his arse into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troubleshooter Posted 14July, 2019 Report Share Posted 14July, 2019 A few major points - from the ad "engine noise" could be a veeeery expensive repair/rebuild when you read the data on the components that make up that engine. A bit of damage here n there on the car too. And no books/history. We know Uncle owned it, was a perfect car in 2014, but who knows what happened after that. Was for sale a year or so back fro a dealer in Qld at about 70ks. I think at the current $14000 bid that's about the highest I'd ever go. Could get you a bargain or a nightmare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
withers Posted 14July, 2019 Report Share Posted 14July, 2019 Ahh this looks good for the $. Awesome color combo! I’m gonna ask if I can have it. Wish me luck.
