If yours was HK delivered, it won't be the "1 imported" on Bruce's list ... Those numbers in his first post relate to cars imported, sold and delivered new here in Australia ... I.e ... the 1 in 1987 sold new here .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzieman Posted 20March, 2019 Report Share Posted 20March, 2019 Theoretically , if Porsche had all the parts at hand etc , what would a made in 2019 1986 Porsche 944 / 911 cost? Say just the n/a models? What would you be prepared to pay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buchanan Automotive Posted 20March, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 20March, 2019 Yes as Dreamr has mentioned , if its a HK import then its not the ( 1 ) that was officially imported by PCA as a new car and sold here new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see these ads all the time in CC mags "Delivery miles only" , Lambos , 918s , Veyrons etc Hence what value would we place on a plain Jane new old Porsche? Built mostly by hand , and we know OH&S costs have gone through the ceiling since the 80s. When did they remove the beer from the morning breaks?

ANF Posted 20March, 2019 Report Share Posted 20March, 2019 The 993 was auctioned for charity, it's sell price was not what it cost. I imagine any old car made new in a different era would cost a very large amount of $$. Even the 4 GT2 RS that Porsche is remaking would cost way more and they are just out of production....

TINGY Posted 20March, 2019 Report Share Posted 20March, 2019 5 hours ago, Coastr said: As for the 944 - it's surprising they sold as many as they did given it was developed as a budget sports car for other parts of the world. In the US during the mid 80s there were a ~$30k car. Tough sell at over $100k for something slower than much of the competition. Yeah but find something that handled as well straight out of the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an "entry level " Porsche that handled better than the "aspirational real Porsche" 911! All these years later it still does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
