Dave997S Posted 17September, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 17September, 2019 BUMP Still searching for the right car. I have been close with a few but the PPIs have comeback with too much for my plate to handle. As much as it’s apparently a buyers market, it seems sellers haven’t read the memo...and no I haven’t been lowballing people. In fact I’ve increased my budget by $10k to try and find the right car. I always thought selling was hard, this AC purchase it bloody difficult 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you can Dave, the offer would have to be "right" for Shannons to liase with the owner and accept. It's all business mate! Ok I'll have a stab at what the market will pay - No mention of original paint or matching numbers or service books - Bargain is $75k, average is $95k, idiot at auction is $120k. Guide range $90k - $100K and usually under quoted at Shannons so expecting maybe around $120k plus premium, who knows...... But for example Dave, using my calculus (coz I have a crystal ball), if you waltzed in and said I'll pay $150k right now, they'd sign you up on the spot and it's yours. If you check the car out and determine a price in your mind no harm in offering it, worst is they can tell you to get lost! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave997S Posted 18September, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 18September, 2019 I’m hoping it’ll be somewhere in between ‘bargain’ and ‘average’ price range...champagne taste and VB budget 😂 Troubleshooter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A really good one $150? Even though it's rarish, a Targa discount applies $100k? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavn Posted 20September, 2019 Report Share Posted 20September, 2019 I'm considering moving on one of the other 6 in Aus if any of you folks would like to chat about it.

The market isn’t as strong as people are thinking / hoping or the car wasn’t as good as thought. I think there were 4 bids all up...although the ‘58 190SL convertible and XY GT went over the price guide at $267k and $370k respectively.

SteveB1 Posted 18October, 2019 Report Share Posted 18October, 2019 Hi all reading all the comments on this 76 as I am flying up to test drive and look at it. Any tips on body issues with targa's? and known rust spots? Thanks Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 19October, 2019 Report Share Posted 19October, 2019 3 hours ago, SteveB1 said: Any tips on body issues with targa's? and known rust spots? Thanks Steve Everywhere! Floor pan usually at the bottom of all pillars and foot wells. Sills, bottom of the roll hoop, around the door strikers, in the frunk under the spare wheel/battery areas...the whole front clip basically. A place some don't look is the parcel shelf area which leads to the top of the rear shock mounts if you can get a torch to have a look. Also look for dodgy repairs on the pan with silicone and/or bog which can hide some expensive repairs. Most cars will have rust somewhere, yet you can buy most replacement panels from here or from overseas. Prices vary quite a bit, so do your homework if you do buy a car and want to replace and bits n pieces. I bought from Auothaus Hamilton in Sydney, as James was very close to the cheapest parts I could source from the US. Take a torch with you, and have a real good look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
