FlatSix Posted 21March, 2013 Report Share Posted 21March, 2013 Hey all, Just doing a bit of late night carsales browsing (as you do) and saw this 93 Turbo...... http://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/porsche-911-1993-13711366 Now while I know the Turbo 3.6 is quite rare, does anyone know how many were Australian delivered? I can't find any numbers online. Unless this is one of 13 Standard nose Turbo 3.6S ever made (If it is, this is a BARGAIN!) the wheels, steering wheel, front and rear air intakes are not original, would this change anyone's opinion about the asking price? It's certainly out of my price range but if I could afford it I would be tempted. Although on the other hand would it give me double the driving experience of my 3.3, which was less than half of the price? Or would I not want to drive it for fear of depreciating its value? Hmmm that's a conundrum for a richer version of me I guess. Also its sad face bugs me every time I look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-p Posted 21March, 2013 Report Share Posted 21March, 2013 Its been for sale for 6 months or maybe even longer..... C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vas Posted 21March, 2013 Report Share Posted 21March, 2013 That car has the rear air intake as the 3.6 S had. It has been messed with a bit, but nothing that can't be fixed. At $150k its at about the right price. If it was stock around $170-$180 would be right. Now, if you did buy that car at $150 and wanted to restore it back to factory, it would cost around $200k. Its a car for the shed, for those with a collection and plenty of cash. If you want to update what you have with a car you can use, get a 993TT or a 996TT. Both these cars are better in every way.

J.J. Posted 21March, 2013 Report Share Posted 21March, 2013 i think the colour is putting prospective buyers off.. being a tigers supporter, i'd snap that 964 up in a heartbeat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Posted 22March, 2013 Report Share Posted 22March, 2013 While I wouldn't kick it out of bed the colour is not helping me like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted 22March, 2013 Report Share Posted 22March, 2013 the colour is awesome. black/silver/red/white are all boring safe "resale" colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vas Posted 22March, 2013 Report Share Posted 22March, 2013 I think it is more the mods putting people off. Only a collector is going to buy that car. I think most collectors would rather a nice stock one at $170k, than a mod job that will cost $200k min to restore. But, I would love that car. It would be as fast as my car with air con and a five speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzieman Posted 22March, 2013 Report Share Posted 22March, 2013 Colours are good , and visible in poor conditions. The yella terra gets a 5 star safety rating on that front! Yes, I know it's a queeny though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.J. Posted 22March, 2013 Report Share Posted 22March, 2013 this is a nice 964 Turbo http://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/porsche-911-1992-13603793?base=1216&vertical=Car&cr=12&page=2&eapi=2&__N=1246%201252%201247%201282%201216&num=15&silo=Stock&items=%5bMake%3aPORSCHE%2cModel%3a911%2cBaseEnabledBadge%3aTURBO%5d&sort=%7ePrice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatSix Posted 22March, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 22March, 2013 I had no idea it had been for sale for so long. Its a tricky one though, looks like a great car but for that price I would want it to be untouched. But then I would miss out on all the fun I'm about to have tinkering with my 3.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice car at $100k. Some wheels and away you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatSix Posted 22March, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 22March, 2013 I saw that one too, very nice and no mods. With 66k on the clock I think that is much better value than the yellow one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
