Mik001 Posted 7April, 2019 Report Share Posted 7April, 2019 So I just bought the white GTS from The Gosford Classic Cars auction. I’ve never had any interest in these so I’m not too sure what to expect. It was an impulse purchase. It was 90k plus buyers premium. I’ll attach some pics. What are your thoughts ???

Congrats.... i’ve never been a massive 928 fan, but if I was going to buy one it would be a GTS. Plenty of people will have views & opinions on the purchase price, but the real barometer is how you feel when you get to take it for a run. Anyway, you could have spent similar money on a new Merc or Beemer only to watch it halve in value over the next few years. Enjoy.

itsujack Posted 7April, 2019 Report Share Posted 7April, 2019 Now that is a Great White Shark! Congratulations. I remember when these where new and wheels mag took it to max in a high speed shootout. Fastest car on sale in Australia at the time. Mik001 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamr Posted 7April, 2019 Report Share Posted 7April, 2019 I was working at the auction and cast an eye over it ... it is stunning. Paintwork and interior in beautiful condition. I don't follow the 928 market so not sure on values ... but I can be sure that it's a great example and you'll enjoy it!! ...

911barber Posted 7April, 2019 Report Share Posted 7April, 2019 As an SC owner, I always thought in the Pcar world AC cars are the only way, I picked up an 88 944s on the weekend, and Im in love! Enjoy your GTS, looks beautiful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Phil Posted 8April, 2019 Report Share Posted 8April, 2019 @Mik001I watched the whole thing for some reason last night and saw that GTS. I thought at the time someone has bought a nice car there for $93K. Nice to see it going to a PFA member. It wasn't you bidding on the 911R as well was it? Nice way to spend $650000. What extra do you pay to Lloyds on top of the purchase price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bear924 Posted 10April, 2019 Report Share Posted 10April, 2019 Don't think you'll go too wrong with a GTS... the kind of impulse buy I could imagine myself doing. Does anyone know what he GT2 went for? Mik001 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karma is a bitch. Few weeks ago he had to leap out of his near new Alfa Giulia Q2 as it began to spontaneously combust.

Bluegus73 Posted 10April, 2019 Report Share Posted 10April, 2019 Congrats @Mik001. I bought an ‘81 Manual .... also in white .... one owner the other month. Also somewhat on impulse. A bit of work to do on it, but love it. So different to my 911SC. Mik001 and Troubleshooter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
