dragon02 Posted 21October, 2017 Report Share Posted 21October, 2017 well you can bid on it from AustraliaSadly no garage space, but more critically, no $$$$$$ for another P-car since the latest acquisition ;-) turboT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
symsy Posted 21October, 2017 Report Share Posted 21October, 2017 I'm confused about this car, is it just a hot rod? A copy of a rare bird ? http://autohaushamilton.com.au/porsche-sales/porsches-for-sale I have been over that car more than once in detail.. if you have specific question , Im happy to answer in private As I mentioned before in the 2-3 iterations in its life of this car -RSR>IROC>RSR , where on earth it keeps gaining 30k in value added to what it was december 2016 , I still cant quite work out. Im not sure we are in the bull market still.The iterations in my own opinion make it worse in terms of paint and body , not better and people seem to think that justifies a price . It started as a good race car. Personal preference upgrades since then aint added much to its engineering pedigree again in fact have taken it backward.

I'm confused about the 993 speedster thingy, not at all interested in buying it, just don't understand why it would be worth 300k if it's just a clone. Or have I missed something?

Ah you mean the convertable hotrod.. very pretty hey ?? How to take a 993 worth 50k back then and chuck 50K at it and then think its worth 300k .. I gotta go back to school and learn about that math and investment models.As I said , hard to fault it , but is it not just a hot rodTake a 993 convertable , fatten it and add a screen and some clam shells and brakes .. what are we at in todays money ?Shit I might do that to my 993 Turbo and it could be worth 300 or 350k.. now thats lateral thinking micknine01 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwoHeadsTas Posted 21October, 2017 Report Share Posted 21October, 2017 (edited) This should probably be in the "WANTED" section, but here goes. Moderators please move if necessary.I am still tossing up between 944S2 or 996 to share the garage with our 987. Having driven a good S2 manual today i think i could live with one of those, even though they are definitely a 30 year old car. So, to now try to locate a good 00/01/02 996 coupe for comparison purposes..I have scoured Carsales, Carsguide, Gumtree and club websites, and have come up with a list of possibles, but am interested whether there are any Forum members who wish to sell but have not yet advertised.Here is my wishlist -late first generation or early 2nd gen. C2. Prefer IMS doneCoupe (we already have our soft top). Manual preferred but will consider Tip.Preferably white, grey, yellow or silver, don't really like black Mileage around 100,000kms or lessWould consider RWOV at appropriate discount, Must have full repair details-pictures etcFull history & books preferredThe big one - Price $45,000 - $50,000Location -Melbourne or Sydney, Tassie would be great!!!!I will be in Melbourne 4/5 Nov and Sydney 6 NovPM me if you have something I may be interested in CheersPeter in Tassie Edited 21October, 2017 by TwoHeadsTas Typos ANF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can only find an auto for my price range for 944/968 at the moment. Really tossing up there only being a $10-$15k price increase to get into a 996 over a 944/968 This would have to come into your equation surely.

Pork Chops Posted 22October, 2017 Report Share Posted 22October, 2017 this one is back on the market again, just different photos plus $20K https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-911-Carrera-1994/SSE-AD-5045298/?Cr=0tHISCan't understand why not sold at $100k. Nice enough colours, seems like a good car to me. Perhaps there is a back story? If I was a clean skin looking to get into the P market I'd be looking hard at this.

Certainly on my list of potentials for me to ring and arrange inspections. It is a RWOV so will need to have full repair details available for me to be satisfied. But appropriate price, although a couple of years older than I was really hoping for.When I get the chance I'll post my spreadsheet of possibles and the ratings I've given various aspects of the vehicle. It's quite interesting how the results have come up - in fact just about the most expensive car comes out as ranked 2nd. Ratings of various aspects of the cars for other people will be different to mine as other people with have other priorities & preferences, so another person would end up with a quite different ranking of results I would think.cheersPeter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KG Posted 22October, 2017 Report Share Posted 22October, 2017 Can't understand why not sold at $100k. Nice enough colours, seems like a good car to me. Perhaps there is a back story? If I was a clean skin looking to get into the P market I'd be looking hard at this. Thrown on a set of gold centred BBS and happy days.It did sell. I looked at this example back then and was close to closing. Fairly good condition, well priced at $100K.Current seller is flipping it. Its funny how they always use the common reason for selling as "buying/building a house and run out of money" Flipping 101.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
