GC9911 Posted 25May, 2011 Report Share Posted 25May, 2011 Great car, congratulations, i go to Canberra once a month for business so will keep an eye out. Enjoy!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-banger Posted 25May, 2011 Report Share Posted 25May, 2011 Hi Peter, Welcome to the forum. A 993tt that's a heck of a way to introduce yourself to the world of Porsche. I have spoken to a few top condition 993tt owners about their buying experience and they have all told me how unique the experience is. It seems that owners of these cars commonly don't have to sell so that throws the usual buyer/seller negotiating position out the door. I am sure you won't ever regret the buying decision. Enjoy the car. Enjoy the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eplot Posted 31May, 2011 Report Share Posted 31May, 2011 Hi all, My name is Gary I just bought this 997 Targa 4 last week, and I m loving to drive it. Even my 3 year old boy fall in love with the car in the back seat. Very enjoyable indeed, see my picture below Cheers Fraz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerry Posted 31May, 2011 Report Share Posted 31May, 2011 Hey Gary, Welcome Aboard! Fantastic looking car, what happened to the 340z?!?! Obviously business is doing well........ ever noticed a silver or black 911 parked out the front of your place?! Kerry (BRUIZE) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vas930 Posted 31May, 2011 Report Share Posted 31May, 2011 Great stuff Gary. What a car. My dads first Porsche was a targa back in the 70s. As a small boy I thought I was the king of the world sitting in the back seat enjoying the sound and talking cars with dad. Hope your new car gives something similar to your family. Vas.

Obviously business is doing well........ ever noticed a silver or black 911 parked out the front of your place?! Kerry (BRUIZE) I just have a look at your car today actually and wonder who own this car? you parked outside the apartments this afternoon. yes, just got the car last week, and the 350z was sold. The Targa 4 is much better car for work, can seat 4 people and have more storage space. The one thing I really love about the Targa is I can open the back window, fold down the back seat and put 900x600 (A1) board flat in. petty much I can carry about 15x 10mm A1 block mount in the Targa and still have a lot of space on the front boot.

Well Gary, I think you've managed to do what most of us have struggled to do - make a 911 into an effective WORK CAR!!! Your's is practically a UTE!!! You are right, I was parked there briefly today, next time I see you boys having a cigarette in the alley, I'll come and have a chat!

Yes, a "UTE", I like it, but it doesn't really look and feel like driving a "UTE" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkysmell Posted 25June, 2011 Report Share Posted 25June, 2011 Porsche Ute? might not be too far off VW made one. Fully tax deductable one tonne load capacity porsche would be a dream work car for me as a builder. Who wold have thought the panamera would be a reality?

eplot Posted 26June, 2011 Report Share Posted 26June, 2011 Peter Even Porsche produce a UTE, don't think many will be sold better stick with the Merc and VW van for builder. the Targa maybe good if you carry a lot of drawing to site, What I said was I can put a A1 (841x594) board flat in the car from the rear window open. it is very handy as I m a printer and developer. if Porsche produce the Targa 4 turbo as a option, it would be nice.

randall Posted 8August, 2011 Report Share Posted 8August, 2011 Hi all, Another new member here. I am looking at buying my first Porsche and was hoping I could learn a thing or two before I take the plunge. I am thinking mid eighties carrera 3.2 would be a good compromise in terms of initial outlay, reliability, creature comforts and performance. I intend to use is as a daily even though I have been warned they aren't that great for daily duties due to a heavy clutch and iffy gearbox shift - can any owners provide insight/opinions on this or any other aspect of living with a 3.2? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnr356 Posted 8August, 2011 Report Share Posted 8August, 2011 welcome a 3.2 is a great daily if you can find one for sale they're so good that owners tend to hold on to them clutch's are generally only heavy if they're at the end of their service life and gearboxes are fine as long as they haven't been abused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vas930 Posted 8August, 2011 Report Share Posted 8August, 2011 Welcome Randall. For a daily driver, try and get the latest mod you can. 3.2 is a great car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
