DJM Posted 6October, 2017 Report Share Posted 6October, 2017 you mean one has , maybe the dudes flying high or did i miss something? so cynical. The ad says it will appreciate significantly in the next 10 years so that means $195k is cheap...?What are people's thoughts on this Boxster. Seems decent price for age (2013) but with higher K's (78k). https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-Boxster-2013/SSE-AD-4917397/?Cr=0I'm a recent convert to mid engine (oh the balance and handling ?) and that's a bloody cheap entry to the party. I'm quite surprised to say that, since buying a GT4, my Carsales musings have virtually stopped. I've owned a lot of cars of various types but this is the first time my current mistress has satisfied my every desire and I've not felt the urge to search "carTinder" for something better. I've never had a car that fits the bill quite like this one. Boxster plus exhaust = wind in the hair GT4-lite methinks. DO IT!

Dreamr Posted 6October, 2017 Report Share Posted 6October, 2017 (edited) Just wondering if anyone on here has had a close look at this car, any info, know the owner, why hasn't it sold?https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-Cayman-2006/SSE-AD-4459686/?Cr=6 Just removed post as realised I'm comparing the wrong models .....

Arnage Posted 6October, 2017 Report Share Posted 6October, 2017 price aside how many 2.7s come up for sale that are not butchered virtually nonethat's good pre 73 money which are desirable. This is a lovely example but $100k min over priced, 2.7's not well thought of & nor rare or sought after. Seems it's the hotrod/custom car thing, spend $xxx and expect to get at least $xxx back. Reality is spend $xxx may get $xx back unless it's a very special & desirable model. Very good looking car though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone remember the yellow 74 that Scuderia were trying to sell during the 2015 bubble for 100k?

It sat on carsales for about a year and it was imaculate you both kidding yourselves if you think a completely restored 2.7 is not worth 100 but keep telling yourselves that i know you wont be convinced. cts sold restored bright blue 2.7 targa which is far from a desireable configuration for around 120 and that yellow coup was not restored or pucker so you cant compare it to a full restored car.

mph911 Posted 7October, 2017 Report Share Posted 7October, 2017 (edited) I'm still confused as to why 2.7's are worth anything near 100k. Without being disrespectful, they are the bottom of the air-cooled 911 tree. Not long ago the best Aussie delivered cars were in the low 30's and difficult to sell. SC's at the time were in the 40's for good cars. They have always been 25% less than SC's. A very good SC in todays market should be around $75-90k (sale price, not advertised). This puts 2.7's at $55-70k. There's a few 2.7's that have been sitting above this figure for more than a while. Now the 'air-cooled frenzy' has slowed down, these will be the first cars to have a price reality check.

LeeM Posted 7October, 2017 Report Share Posted 7October, 2017 A fully restored car it might be, and from what I am told it is an unbelievable thing of beauty, yet $195k for a 2.7 IB car? I'm not saying it's worth $100k less, as very nice 3.0 SC's go for $100-120k, yet that's a LOT of money for a 77. Still, someone will probably buy it if they have to have the best available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zelrik911 Posted 7October, 2017 Report Share Posted 7October, 2017 I wonder what the caryard paid for this 911 (is consignment still illegal in Vic.)? Possibly half the price they are asking.I just dont think there are many wealthy &/or enthusiast potential buyers, even for something this nice. There are reports of chinese 'businessmen' with lots of funny money now buying classics - however I reckon they would want LHD cars to show off to their mates.That asking price is a lot of money to hide from your wife, accountant or the taxman. it will be entertaining to watch its journey to a new owner.

Now the 'air-cooled frenzy' has slowed down, these will be the first cars to have a price reality check.I would think in this case it's not being priced as a 2nd hand 2.7 .... it's priced as a brand new car. Surely there would have to be $70k - $100k of work to get it to that standard ...A 924 Turbo recently sold in the UK that had been torn down and reassembled just like this car was. It was part of a competition amongst Porsche dealerships .... it sold for about £50,000 (circa $75k) .... not in any world could I have imagined a 924 Turbo being worth that, selling for that, or even being offered for that, yet after seeing the finished product (in photos only) it didn't throw me for a six .... I would have loved to have that car ...BTW .... it wasn't too long ago that 912's were the bottom of the air cooled tree, after that it was the longhoods, then it was the SC's, then it was anything that had a Targa or convertible top, etc .... I think just about every version of Porsche at one time or another was the unwanted love child.... don't even start me on the water cooled ...

mph911 Posted 7October, 2017 Report Share Posted 7October, 2017 The best Carrera 3 in the world isn't $195k, it's still a 1977 2.7! There's a 1977 2.7 for sale in Europe in as new condition from a collection with 4000 odd miles on it.. It's been on the market for a little while at 99,000 pounds. I would think that's a high water, bench mark price. Arnage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJM Posted 8October, 2017 Report Share Posted 8October, 2017 (edited) Seems like a bargain, $110k for LHD, non original body, non original engine, no interior, unregistered and hasn't run from 12 years. Other than that, it's a steal. Oh and the original roof comes with it ?http://www.my105.com/mobi/ListingDetails/p/2/id/19397 Edited 8October, 2017 by DJM MFX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT Posted 8October, 2017 Report Share Posted 8October, 2017 A really sick 996 cab or just stuck lifters? https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/clarence-park/cars-vans-utes/1999-porsche-911-cabriolet-w-hard-top-engine-issues-/1161879454I'd be getting another opinion from a respected 996 specialist. Really sick if there's oil in the water or vice versa or could just be a little bit of neglect/underuse, resulting in sticky lifter and AOS or coolant tank leak.
