Looks like a nice car and I love this colour. on a 993. What is a fair price for this car?

Lucky Phil Posted 19October, 2017 Report Share Posted 19October, 2017 Wow so according to Jeff he was asking twice as much as its worth, if Jeff's $122,000 suggestion is a true indication. Looks like another 2 years it will stay on Carsales. MFX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troubleshooter Posted 19October, 2017 Report Share Posted 19October, 2017 I think I remember it starting at 250 too, easily 2 years on the market. Sweet looking car Probably priced it in comparison with this one that's been on the market about 2 years , started at 275k and still dreaming, unless he drops 100+ off of it he'll be taking it to the gravehttps://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/kallaroo/cars-vans-utes/porsche-993-4s-911-p-o-r-s-c-h-e/1162929526 micknine01 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Posted 19October, 2017 Report Share Posted 19October, 2017 (edited) GT4's what's the go? There's 11 GT4's ranging from 500ks to 6000ks on Carsales . How many delivered to Aust? Nearly all probably thought a quick flip and 20, 30 or 40k profit (and nothing wrong with that!) but seems a year on that it's not working like that. I'm sure a buy it now price across the board would certainly be around 180, 190 to 210k depending on the seller/dealer/situation.... pretty good buying if you want one to enjoy thoroughly and hold through the depreciation for about 10 years or so and come out about even (well sorta even ) BUT and there's a big BUT...Jumping on the Sleazius Rennlist link, I only read a random page -11, and this is what I saw re the blown 3rd gear issue. Seems like a BIG issue under even mild use on a track a few times or would replicate to a few or more spirited weekends around the hills -- hmmmm not good --meh, small BUT. great car, under warranty for a while yet, not planning to track It so I am happy to take my chances. I wouldn't consider a few drives in the hills equivalent to track driving - nowhere near the same loads applied to various components, especially if driven hard on track. I am doing PSDS drive day at Phillip Island next month. It's got 6 gears so what if I lose one ? If you spend your life making buying decisions based on forums, you'll never buy a thing.my understanding is initially 70 were to be delivered but the final number was more like 100. I bought one in August, very happy with it. In fact it might be a keeper.... Edited 19October, 2017 by DJM GC9911 and hugh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the video link the guy is hardly giving it to it, Looks like a casual trackday wearing his racing shorts. Maybe he thrashed it for 6 or 7 laps prior who knows . I referred to "spirited " drives through the hills as a comparison. The sentence that disturbed me was the reference to 5 gt4's blowing at that track in that weekend alone. Wish I had one. maybe next car! DJM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say just maintain the warranty and drive care free - the warranty can ride out to 9 years from new and it’s not crazy expensive. If something’s going to go bang it’s going to happen in 9years of driving... GC9911 and symsy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still hurts though forking out $2700. I almost hope something breaks to justify the cost. Peace of mind sucks sometimes. DJM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buyer gets a PPI and we find out the steering column is buggered (I blame @edgy ). I had literally renewed the warranty 3 weeks before.

The warranty typically doesn't cover trim but they fixed a couple of things for me and swept it into the warranty. Gear Box or Engine issues would = massive moola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I suppose we should consider it like car insurance - the day you need it seems like a bargain! I wish my GT2 was under warranty when it went BANG. It cost about 30 years worth of warranty.....in that case I was lucky to be saved by market forces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
