deano Posted 29May, 2020 Report Share Posted 29May, 2020 I hadnt heard of that before, I thought it was just me wanting to sell my car to a 'decent'person. I dreaded having to go through the rigmarole of selling my wifes Territory 3 weeks ago. But I stuck it on Carsales, for over double what the P dealer offered as a trade ($23K), and it sold to the first person who saw it in person, for $500 less than asking, and with the owner ok to get the roady. The purchaser and her father were nice to deal with, and she was stoked to get a car in great condition. It nice when your previous pride and joy goes to where it may be appreciated JWM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on the odd chance it's not a scam or a dog, maybe worth a visit if you were close? Just had a proper look at CS. Definitely a FB scam.

One of the other guys who is handling the advertising very excited until I let him down (none too gently, I can be a bastard 🙂 ). Anyway, for the real thing, I'd say very overpriced at that, even with lowish kms, particularly if IMS not been done. Middish $30's I reckon, so take off $5k to allow contingency to do the IMS and it might be about right...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still on their Facebook page. Seller backtracked and removed the post from Facebook. When I messaged again, he said the ad stated it was a sample photo (which it didnt) and they decided to remove the post until the car was available. Definitely misleading, but I think they do actually have one available. I've asked for the actual pics just to see what I get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingporsche Posted 1July, 2020 Report Share Posted 1July, 2020 No affiliation.... My old Boxster is up for sale after only 5 months of ownership. Asking price suggests attempted flip - there's a substantial chunk of margin over what I sold it for (I was motivated to move it to get into my turbo). The new exhaust does sound suitably grunty. https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2006-porsche-boxster-987-manual-my06/SSE-AD-6717347/?Cr=2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took the little BS out with a driving group on the weekend for fast country driving and now admit i was wrong. Acceleration...bad. A WRX can just blast pass. But the true measure of the car is in the fast corners. WOW. I was pushing e92 m3s and CLA 45s out of the way in the twisties. Unlike a 911, there is no weight following through on the bends. Its just steer in and steer out. And the brakes.....small in size compared to some of the monster calipers today, but perfect, i mean perfect for the small car. It could use more torque lower in the range but there is plenty above 4,000prm and at speeds well pass the highway speeds it is just brilliant. Maybe the car needs to lose some weight, shorter gearing from 1-3 and maybe another 50hp and i think it truly is the best sports car out there.

Mttel Posted 31July, 2020 Report Share Posted 31July, 2020 Anyone looking for a 986 hardtop? Pricing is a bit optimistic.

I'm making a couple of assumptions here, after reading your post. That is that you hadn't driven a Boxster through the twisties before? Second is that you haven't driven a broad variety of sports cars through similar roads? Based on the above I'm calling bullshit, with all due respect.
