Lucky Phil Posted 28June, 2019 Report Share Posted 28June, 2019 Is this a good buy? Price just dropped from $222,000 drive away. I suppose they are looking to sell before 30 June. Would you sell your 2015 981 Boxster S with basically same options for this 911? https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2016-porsche-911-carrera-s-991-auto-my17/OAG-AD-17295810/?utm_campaign=price-alert&utm_source=notification-center&utm_medium=email Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice in white too (personal bias exposed). Lucky Phil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats that worth to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Phil Posted 28June, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 28June, 2019 @hughThe worth factors: Positives: It's a 911, 2 extra seats however rarely would use, 5000 less klms, 1 year younger, better suspension, better lights, Bose sound but rarely turn on radio anyway. Negatives: Will cost me $115000 change over. May not sound as good (apart from the Bose sound system which I do not care about) but would need to drive it to check. For another $20000 could buy a new Spider. Cannot think of any more negatives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a hell of a negative @ $115k...… but there again perhaps you can afford it. The dealer is the only winner here !!

Lucky Phil Posted 28June, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 28June, 2019 @Stephen Tinker Yep agree, As I typed $115K as a negative, I answered my own question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, $115k is a huge negative, I’m sure it’s good but is it $115k good, yeah, nah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I add $115k is a big negative? If we were talking GT3’s then I’d be saying different. Lucky Phil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes 115k plus the depreciation. Isnt that 115k plus a little bit extra on a gt3 much more bang for buck with a likely flattish depreciation curve if you keep it until you tempted to go to the dark side ( electric).

rego Posted 29June, 2019 Report Share Posted 29June, 2019 If I was going to spend another 115k I'd buy a 911 as a second car or a GT3 as others have said. You could buy a 997.2 S Cab for 115k or spend another 10k and get a 991.1 Coupe giving you the best of both worlds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
