tazzieman Posted 10June, 2014 Report Share Posted 10June, 2014 Nice 928 GTS. I don't know the market for these too well but given it left the factory as an auto and has been since converted to manual I think the asking price is too high.http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-928-1994/SSE-AD-2290655 A great car ; GTS are rare and therefore "collectable" though the Oz market is pretty small. It is a cheap supercar for sure. And yes , a very nice video review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonR Posted 10June, 2014 Report Share Posted 10June, 2014 $25k for a Carrera 3.2 with a broken head stud? so a DIY fix for $5k and you end up with a $40k car? or was there more wrong with it? What would be the ballpark retail cost on fixing the broken head stud if you couldn't do it yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coastr Posted 10June, 2014 Report Share Posted 10June, 2014 The broken head stud car is a LHD convert to RHD. Are we saying converted LHD is a $40k car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonR Posted 10June, 2014 Report Share Posted 10June, 2014 Actually that'd be great. I've sent some messages backwards and forwards with the owner and he's sent me some relatively poor images through. He said it's a full resto, interior is original but 'good for it's age' which I've heard enough times now to completely disregard. It's a Euro import, but he claims it's rust-free. I just burnt money on an inspection on a car in Sydney which I probably could have saved by imposing on someone to have a look first. I'll get back in contact with the owner, and then can I shoot you a PM to organise something at your convenience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted 10June, 2014 Report Share Posted 10June, 2014 The broken head stud car is a LHD convert to RHD. Are we saying converted LHD is a $40k car? I'm saying the low end of aus delivered 3.2's seem to be around $50k. i'd knock off 10k for it being a conversion, but if it's in as good a nick as it seems I can't see why buying it for $25k and spending $5k on it you wouldn't make money (so long as you're prepared to DIY) in fact, for that money i'd buy it and drive it, assuming it's one of the top head studs What would be the ballpark retail cost on fixing the broken head stud if you couldn't do it yourself? I'd think you'd actually get it done for $5k assuming they don't find anything else wrong. I was counting on a budget of $5k for any of the other incidental stuff you'd need to find. at $25k with a broken head stud if you're prepared to take a gamble I can't see how it's a loss. even if you drive it and fix it i'm sure you'd still get back what you spent on it clutch-monkey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonR Posted 10June, 2014 Report Share Posted 10June, 2014 Thanks for the info Russ -- I'm looking for a daily driver for ~$30k in the first instance, assuming that I can fix/update/restore the other things that it'll need along the way rather than up-front.

Russ Posted 10June, 2014 Report Share Posted 10June, 2014 I'd ring the guys at T&D and ask if you wanted to know an exact cost for getting it done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonR Posted 10June, 2014 Report Share Posted 10June, 2014 I'd ring the guys at T&D and ask if you wanted to know an exact cost for getting it done Yup, good plan. I'd get them to do the PPI anyway, just trying to work out whether I should even be going out to have a look. The original listing price was above my budget … Simonoz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porshie Posted 10June, 2014 Report Share Posted 10June, 2014 SimonR I somehow got lost on the long list of replies. If you are talking about the red 3.2 Carrera in Castledene, then I have already done the PPI with Don Munro. The no 2 head stud is gone. Don quoted me about 10k to do the full job including a new clutch and pressure plate. As I said the rest of the car needs cosmetic stuff. The conversion is a good one. A few minor things for RWC and I was going to get the rest done whilst I enjoyed the car. It has a lot of potential. My circumstances have changed so will not pursue it. PPI report is available if required. Regards Sashie Simonoz and qstoria 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Younger guy, had a thread re: importing from the sates etc. Being a US car and the mention of the ducktail methinks that's the car. I'll try and dig up the original thread. From memory I think he bought it quite cheap, looks nice though. 68 TT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
