WOKA Posted 23October, 2019 Report Share Posted 23October, 2019 2 hours ago, Harold996tt said: I agree a 996 is a dime a dozen. But a buyer of a Porsche seems to always think they are buying a collectible. I can say that even if i was to buy a Boxster I would still prefer a matching numbers car just so that I would not have to deal with awkward questions from sellers pushing the price down for any reason when it comes time to sell it. Fair enough, however that 'discount' should be realised st the point of purchase.. My 996 is in possession of its second engine as verified by PCB, with 35k less than what shows on the odometer. I think my car with an indicated 114k, but with a motor with only 80k on it should be a reasonable proposition.? Harold996tt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy low, put a smile on the dial and sell low. Still come out a huge winner in the fun department! MFX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the discount price all the more so if I am going to make her into a hot rod or drive the wheels off her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLD Posted 1November, 2019 Report Share Posted 1November, 2019 That car sat for ages in the mid $40s, then suddenly jumped up $10k! Not sure why.... I’m guessing if you’re really a genuine buyer you could convince the guy to drive it, although I could be wrong! I wonder if he’s just trying to put off time wasters with the no test drive thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTP911 Posted 16November, 2019 Report Share Posted 16November, 2019 Get in NOW (beat the enviable price rise 😉)_ Magnus Walker has just purchased a 996.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 16November, 2019 Report Share Posted 16November, 2019 That sounds like an utter bargain! Then again, it is the US where 996's can be had for under $20k pretty easily, yet 5 grand he stole it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRU Posted 20November, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 20November, 2019 Just rounding this one out - the car I posted about originally has been marked as sold on carsales.. latest list price was ~$49k. I'm still on the hunt, but haven't settled on a 996, 993 or 997 yet! I'm trying to get around and drive as many of them as I can so I can make a decision.. firstone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
