Coastr Posted 13March, 2013 Report Share Posted 13March, 2013 I do love that interior, I bet that ate a whole mess of cash. Why a Targa SC though? I wish it was a red 84 Carrera with that interior. I'd be ringing up right about now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't understand the engine comment tho. Everything except a rebuild? What is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airhead Posted 14March, 2013 Report Share Posted 14March, 2013 It says - The Porsche has just arrived. It is a European first delivery with 130 HP petrol engine. The Targa has a very good, pristine body. Accordingly, the clearances are perfect, underbody, wheel arches and engine compartment are in original condition.The car is "matching numbers". It was delivered in the colour of fraise. This one makes him a very rare and interesting early 911. Paint and parts of Interieures are outdated. The price includes a high quality new paint job and an outdated Interior. Inaddition, details will be revised so that results in a homogeneous overall quality with the slight patina of original classic. The technique works. And it's all yours for AU$79375.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 14March, 2013 Report Share Posted 14March, 2013 >And it's all yours for AU$79375.00 And isn't one of the PFA joining criteria to occasionally have a moan about OS car prices? If Europe and the US keep this up, they'll be coming here for Porsches soon!

withers Posted 19March, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 19March, 2013 This looks nice well prepared and photographed for sale anyways.. many people could learn from this! And my other current FS favourite is this one... above is $29k and the viper g is $50k It's very confusing looking at 2 cars online in isolation and trying to compare them at this price difference. The green has had an extensive rebuild by the sounds of it... If a seller has spent say $20,000 rebuilding an engine - what is the true cost of that to the new owner over a car that has not had that $20k spent on it??? I know, hard question to answer...

If a seller has spent say $20,000 rebuilding an engine - what is the true cost of that to the new owner over a car that has not had that $20k spent on it??? I know, hard question to answer... I think you mean value, not cost. The answer is that it depends on the condition of the car overall. A car with 20k in the engine may still need 30k in the body and interior. And money spent on an engine isnt necessarily the final word, either, especially if it wasn't done right. The answer is...you have to work out what is important, and find a car that fits that bill. If you find one priced out of your range you have to just move on. Maybe the car is worth the money, maybe it isn't. But I have wasted time in the past trying to talk sellers into a realistic sale price and rarely do they move if they have a ludicrous price on it. Find one in a condition you can live with in the right budget and buy with pessimism with regards to costs. Applies to all cars, not just Porsches.

Thanks for correcting me I suppose you can only count on what you can see and are told after a PPI. As a buyer tho, it can be quite confusing with all these different price points. Your advice is spot on as usual Coastr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f3nr15 Posted 19March, 2013 Report Share Posted 19March, 2013 Hi Amanda - the red targa is most likely converted over from LHD, if that makes any difference to you. The radio antenna is on the wrong wing. The wipers are parked on the wrong side. And the VIN is correct for a US model. A nice looking car, none-the-less. But nothing about the ad would make me interested in that one - no detail, no passion. The green car is a MUCH more inviting prospect. I'd want to know the condition of the paint, which isn't mentioned in the ad, and can't reliably be discerned by photos. If you could get that car for anywhere near the $40K mark, you'd be laughing!

Cheers Peter - I still don't notice these imported car features at all. I'm not sure if its because I am 'just looking' whilst I pay off a few bills or whether I really am just not observant at all! With that in mind - the 2 cars are not even comparable other than being Targas. To me anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simonk Posted 19March, 2013 Report Share Posted 19March, 2013 Does this one not interest you Amanda? I think Weisser has brought it up a couple times.

Russ Posted 20March, 2013 Report Share Posted 20March, 2013 i don't know if wiper resting is the be all and end all of LHD vs RHD though, i've seen some australian delivered cars with their wipers resting on the wrong side... maybe we should start a kickstarter or crowdsource "time for amanda to get a 911" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
