Tricky Posted 28November, 2017 Report Share Posted 28November, 2017 Sold two (BMW M3 and AMG C36), bought two (997 S and Audi S3, ie weekend car and daily driver). If we’re only counting P-cars then bought one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flamingporsche Posted 29November, 2017 Report Share Posted 29November, 2017 Bought my 987 to rejoin the P-car ranks after 8 looong years without. But forget about looking backwards - who's buying in 2018? Keen on a WC911 in 2nd half of the year if things keep bubbling along as they are symsy and Troubleshooter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

symsy Posted 29November, 2017 Report Share Posted 29November, 2017 Preliminary 2017 Annual Market review - So knowing how much I am "NOT" a man for the numbers ...and stats .. I reckon on my count back we might have bought and sold 50 cars at best between us and we have since PAGE 888 .. good number must be a magic car portal or something .... spent a lot of BS time poking at peoples adverts, 179 pages worth in fact... As self appointed chief auditor of tyre kicking activities.. I must say I think thats a pretty crap showing, our ratio of comment to action gang is appalling .. You might say we are full of hot air and Im hoping for a much increased level of wallet action in 2018 , or will it be watered down by more WC cars sales as the hot air bubble may have burst.?

TwoHeadsTas Posted 29November, 2017 Report Share Posted 29November, 2017 Well looks as though the RWOV white 996 that I passed up at Motor Gallery had the price dropped from $37k down to $30k today (I had negotiated a sale at $35 before finding out the RWOV bit). Car Sales says price dropped first thing this morning, put on hold at 5.30, so looks like sold at that price. I wonder whether I would have taken it at $30????

That makes all the difference in my mind - can be a real opportunity to get a good car cheap, or a good warning to stay clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoHeadsTas Posted 29November, 2017 Report Share Posted 29November, 2017 It looks like it was damaged when about 4 years old. Presume must have been pretty hard hit (includes roof damage) for ins co to write off a 4 yo car. If I'd known more about what was damaged and how fixed I might have still considered.

Jason A Posted 30November, 2017 Report Share Posted 30November, 2017 Not everyone likes vanilla icecream - it looks hot. I love most of the tuned Porsche’s. Porsche themselves push the envelope, others take it a bit further. Neapolitan, Gelato and a bit of other stuff for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, won't say exactly how much I paid yet as deal not totally finalised yet, but my 2-3 month hunt has allowed me to conclude market pricing is along the following lines (coupes): 996.1 Tip, IMS done 100-130kms low to mid 40's. Manuals are like rocking horse shite. Higher mileage or no IMS less $5k 996.2 Tip around 100kms low to mid 50's, less than 80kms or manual add $5-10k 997.1Tip around $70k 997.2 Tip around $75-$80 RWOVs less $15-$20k, think carefully about resaleability, and try to find out what was done and when - eg a car written off early in it's life must have had a very big hit, resulting in sufficiently big repair costs to justify the insurance co paying out. If written off more recently the damage may well have been significantly less as repair costs of a relatively minor accident could still justify insurance writing off given value of car at this time. I really didn't look too much at 997s as they were above my price bracket, so the above is a loose observation. Generally speaking I didn't look at Cabriolets either as we already have our Boxster, and didn't want a Targa as they can be reportedly problematic at times and expensive to fix. Interestingly, although Targas and cabs had a price premium when new, coupes seem to reign supreme in the s/h market. Tips were, I think, more expensive new, but manuals seem to carry a price premium in the s/h market now. Seems to be more 98 cars, didn;t see many 99 or 01 cars listed. Must have been a lot of black cars sold, as these probably seem to out number lighter colours 2:1 Having driven along Paramatta Rd last Saturday afternoon, I can understand why vast majority of cars must have been Tips, particularly those sold in Sydney and Melbourne, particularly those intended to be driven regularly. I could understand manuals being purchased as weekend cars, hence the scarcity in the s/h market. Looking forward to getting our car back to Tassie to have some fun on our roads Philbee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
