luzzo Posted 22March, 2020 Report Share Posted 22March, 2020 This looks like an amazing 996 @williamsf1 Some cool mods. Good luck with sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamsf1 Posted 22March, 2020 Author Report Share Posted 22March, 2020 Thanks! It's not a complete list as yet, as I keep finding things we have improved or done better, it really drives way better than it has any right to!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim45 Posted 22March, 2020 Report Share Posted 22March, 2020 Ditto great mods and looks the goods. Not usually a big fan of 19's but they suit this build. Please block me so I don't get any crazy ideas... williamsf1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah when you improve the braking package as much as this, and then spend the time getting the rake and corner weights spot on they are a pleasure to drive on! So much time was spent getting the suspension to work well with this tyre wheel package. Mid corner this is superior to a 997.2 RS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugh Posted 22March, 2020 Report Share Posted 22March, 2020 Lovely looking car. I admired this whilst taking part in the 2018 Classic Adelaide. Love it. williamsf1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williamsf1 Posted 25March, 2020 Author Report Share Posted 25March, 2020 Should I put it up on CarSales or am I wasting my time there? Might just be better off keeping Klaus till this is over in November Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugh Posted 25March, 2020 Report Share Posted 25March, 2020 If I didn't already have a black 996 in the garage I'd be all over this. I suspect many people would be too if it wasn't for the current situation we find ourselves in. Bluegus73 and williamsf1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reggiegums Posted 25March, 2020 Report Share Posted 25March, 2020 I think everything needs a price listed, not as a rule but as a reference point for purchasers. Everyone has their own strategy on pricing but if you've decided to sell something, price it to sell and move faster than everyone elses. vinnytang and micknine01 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Points me to the conclusion that even if you did have money to buy your dream Porsche, there is a lot of easy money to be made buying right on ASX and then using profits to buy the dream car in more certain times.

Now is not the time to be selling assets, unless absolutely necessary. I expect that there will a flood of 'discretionary spending' toys coming onto the market once the full effect of Covid-19 hits, including cars, bikes, boats, holiday homes.

Agree - anyone buying now will be expecting a deeeeeeeeep discount based, amongst other things, on how bad the recession will be post lockdown/infection/isolation etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLD Posted 25March, 2020 Report Share Posted 25March, 2020 It's going to be difficult to attract a buyer without a price... I see 'offers' or 'POA' as translating to overpriced, so your ad gives me this impression. I'm not saying this to be an ass or as an attack, just how as an outsider it reads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firstone Posted 25March, 2020 Report Share Posted 25March, 2020 Set a price that you'd be happy to come down from. Set a sale price in mind you'd take. Only one person needs to agree with you. It's a wide net. You just never know if you don't try. GC9911 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the market? Like the others have said, if you don't need to sell, hang on to it for a while. At the moment I think even last week was different from this week, and I would be very surprised if you would find a buyer at anywhere near recent market rates. You can always put a price on it let it sit. If you want to move it now, I think the price will need to be seen as a bargain as bargain hunters will be the only ones in the market right now.

IMO they must have been really good cars to sell at those prices if that's what they went for. Your car looks like good buying and to be honest i don't even know what i would offer you if i was in the market, only you will know what you have spent and what it "owes" you. Seems to me most people are looking for originality these days with 996 series cars, unless bargain price of course with some of the horrendous mods that i have seen the last couple of years. GLWS if you decide to go ahead, BTW nice car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just advertise it for what you want for it, with some haggle room, and the market/punter/enthusiast/flipper will soon let you know if you're on the mark or not. Is it worth the same money as those cars you've listed above? Hands down I'd pick your car over a standard one for the same money, but that's me.
