Without getting it on a hoist and checked by someone in the trade, it is an allegation. Story goes a gent in Melbourne was interested in it, and one of the guys in Perth knew the history of the car before it appeared at the wholesaler, and that it was in a decent accident and repaired. Doesn't mean it wasn't repaired well, but as with every purchase do your own research and DD before buying. I haven't seen the car but was fairly interested in it when it first appeared online, albeit not my first color preference. 1 hour ago, cafe_racer said: I'm a big fan of any interior colour aside from black.

cafe_racer Posted 22January, 2019 Report Share Posted 22January, 2019 I’m thinking a 996 turbo manual for roughly $100k with a mezger engine is one of the best value Porsche buys at the moment. The G Series air cooled cars have blown out in price and are no longer a bargain. The 996 is all that is left. The one above looks great!

I tend to agree that with the prices of air-cooled cars, the 996 appears to be the best value out there at present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to put a monetary value on what is "better value" between the two .... if you did then a brand new BMW or Mercedes is better value than a 20 year old Porsche ... An impact bumper machine is a completely different car than a 996 ... so depending on what floats one's boat is where the "value" is at ... just my 0.02c worth ... 😁 Troubleshooter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its personal preference and more an art than a science,.... and there's lots of different ways to consider 'Value', but I guess I was coming more from a potential increase in value.....i.e., I think the 996 will appreciate over say the next three years, versus the substantial depreciation you'll suffer over the same period on a new Merc or Beemer. Also, given the run-up in values in more recent times of the air-cooled Pcars, I think there's a pretty good chance that the 996 has been somewhat over-looked, and will appreciate quicker than them over the next 3-5 years. I guess we will be able to look back at this thread in years to come to see if I'm talking crap, or I'm a genius. Of course, forgetting the $$'s for a minute, the real value in any of these cars is how they make you feel when you drive them, or even just admire them in the garage!

Need another 150hp to balance it up. The real value is for those that are into tweaking and want three pedals. You can start by spending 6k wisely on the 996 turbo and get more power / similar power than any new bmw or Mercedes that is stock or tweaked ( tweaking rare because most scared of voiding the new car warranty). If you are into the science of tweaking and removing the factory handcuffs.on a 996 turbo theres at least 10 bolt on turbos that get you to all sorts of power / boost / torque and spool up combinations. Once tweaked smartly in a few other areas besides turbos, tune and exhaust they are a great alrounder for all occasions. Eg one weekend Smt, next weekend track, next weekend gate crash a bmw or Mercedes dyno day , next week end friday night lights with v8's and fast 4's and the next week is avoiding a divorce so a bit of a Sunday stroll down at the shops with the Mrs and kids in the back seats ( you can get a bit of the essential groceries stored in the frunk. Will deliver 9/10 on all 5 days when behind the wheel. Reckon a new bmw or Mercedes is going to be lucky to deliver 9/10 on 1 of those 5 days Eg handle the shopping run. Then if you want to sell, not a biggy to get it back to stock ( but why the heck would you do that because in stock guise the throttle response and turbo spool up and engine note is extremely underwhelming once your gone over to the value side and start tweaking. Ps just a view but best bank for buck car in 5 years time is an Alfa, 600 hp from stock with the right tuner and downpipe combo and waste of time doing anything else to it. Note its the one with the Ferrari twin turbo v8 engine that's been vertically gas axed to remove two cylinders so it fits in the front engine bay and it's got a bit of 996 turbo spoiler movement butt arse about. The front lip responds to changes in speed and moves in and out as opposed to up and down on the rear of 996 turbo. New bmw m3 manual pure coming out. , What's the appreciation again in three to 5 years time. Depreciation would probably be equivalent to paying cash for the Alfa. Ps if you dont give a toss about infotainment behind the wheel for the same price as a new Mercedes or bmw I would much rather float my boat with a 996 turbo and e90 m3 ( both tweaked of coarse) and much more value when behind the wheel of one of those cars let alone both. For infotainment in either of those cars just wind the window down. One car excels on the upshift via a gear stick when over 5000 rpm and the other on the downshift from 5000 rpm using paddle shifters. Nor convinced an impact bumper SC target will see 150k anytime soon. 996 turbo manual is trending back to the future ( can see 150k in 3 to 5 years for cars under 75k on the clock and not tweaked ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The Commonwealth" shall mean the Commonwealth of Australia as established under this Act. "The States" shall mean such of the colonies of New South Wales, New Zealand, Queensland, Tasmania, Victoria, Western Australia, and South Australia, including the northern territory of South Australia, as for the time being are parts of the Commonwealth, and such colonies or territories as may be admitted into or established by the Commonwealth as States; and each of such parts of the Commonwealth shall be called "a State".

cafe_racer Posted 19February, 2019 Report Share Posted 19February, 2019 All of the ones you posted seem like great examples (maybe NZ excluded due to full respect with so few k’s On the clock) only thing missing is they need to sharpen their pencils on the pricing. $120k for low k’s manual 996 turbo is the benchmark. Will be interesting to see if they sit for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
