Fishcop Posted 4June, 2018 Report Share Posted 4June, 2018 Is there a reason this car has been sitting about for so long? It's the cheapest 987 S manual on CS after the $24k scam car. https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/Porsche-Boxster-2007/SSE-AD-5411274/?_ga=2.189437611.1017801123.1528078091-687039653.1508387122 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok here's my "expert" opinion hahaa. First how long has it been on CS? The car is low to reasonably priced for what it appears to be... BUT .. dig into the possible details, which he hasn't disclosed in the ad. Is he easy to contact? Is he shifty in manner or voice or appearance? Is he compliant to see and drive the car anytime? Is he compliant to take the car somewhere and get a PPI? How many owners? Service history? Any? Books? Aust del? Condition of car? Options? There is not one mention in the ad of the condition of any of the preceeding points about the car. The car could be a shitbox, on WOVR, poor paint, interior and body. Noises in the motor, gearbox. Impending IMSB - noises. Clutch problems etc etc etc. The car has only one factory added option I can see - sat nav. So it pretty much has no options. Others on the market have a few options and more price - and others that are $15000 more in price are optioned to the hilt.

Thinking it was going to be a typical Melb cold wet day i was pleasently surprised, would have been a great day in a boxrod.

Troubleshooter Posted 13June, 2018 Report Share Posted 13June, 2018 Or the number plates mounted or the shot of different plate or the tinted windows or the dodgy knob on stereo... add up every detail in the entire ad that you see that indicates a negative and there is half the picture.... and the very very basic auto generated text with no mention of anything else - It's what HASN'T been said.............

Is that the cost he pays to have it towed away? On another note, I've been actively engaging with the owners of some of the nicer 986 cars currently on CS... I can only presume a few of them really don't actually want to sell their cars. The common response to a question about negotiability on price (and I direct this towards the owners of the stagnant cars above $30k) has been "Well I don't really have to sell" or "Mine's exceptional". Playing with insurance quotes on 986 Boxter S cars sees me unable to get an agreed price on a plus $30k car using the online calculators, so spending more than $25k would see me under insured? I think there is a conspiracy, I'm being forced into Speed Yellow They are the only reasonably priced cars sitting around. If anyone reading is thinking of parting with a nice Boxster S (manual please), feel free to PM me... Being located in Port Macquarie means I can't just "jump" on a car, so I'm looking to work with a seller without the cut-throat speed of CarSales!

Shannon’s was an agreed value of $30k as long as you could prove it was worth it... might be worth a chat to those guys to find out how you agree on the value.

Yes I'll definitely do that. I'd prefer not to use Shannons though. I had a running battle with them getting adequate cover on my old 69 911T which was superb. Pimply faced 'expert' I was dealing with couldn't accept early Porsches has exceeded the $50k value mark in 2013 I ended up with Ryno (who were great) but they don't do later Porsches. 20 minutes ago, Dave986 said: I might consider selling my 2003 2.7.
