Since when did it become the norm to play around with the price once the car is advertised anyway!? I think everyone should sms through offers of 56K and the @Bluegus73 can follow through with the closing 76K no PPI firstone, micknine01, Bluegus73 and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troubleshooter Posted 7February, 2018 Report Share Posted 7February, 2018 Chased an interstate car last week, ready to fly straight there, and politely texted seller only 4 straightforward questions relating to the service manual, as his ad was quite descriptive.... crickets. I sent same again politely the next day explaining texting to save both of us from time wasting.... crickets. I sent same again that arvo polite explanation would he like me to phone him .... he rang me and would not let me have a word in and ceaselessly garbled on with some sort of sales pitch blah blah blah. when he was finished after 2 minutes I asked please just text me the answers to my 4 questions so we can move ahead. Said he would in an hour. Texted him next morning thought you were texting me answers? He texted back ""I didn't understand the questions but is really good car you come and see you will like it's black"" and about 4 other pieces of irrelevant unasked for blah blah blah that was in his ad. Here they are: In the service/maintenance manual, how many times has the general maintenance pages been stamped? In the service/maintenance manual how many times has the brake fluid maintenance pages been stamped? In the service/maintenance manual on about page 3 how many owners have been written in the owner section? In the service/maintenance manual on about page 5 does it have the big rectangular identification sticker with the VIN number and option codes? So I texted him back one question - Does it have a service /maintenance manual? Answer immediately was ""ÿes but I haven't driven it for a while and my uncle owned it, it is a great car and you will buy it so good"" So texted him back politely , Please if you could answer my 4 initial questions to move forward .....CRICKETS This is why it is near on impossible to buy from some owners and I would not even bother looking at this car no matter what now, because I know it'll be a bad buy no matter what. This should be in the vent thread hahhaa symsy, scashin, micknine01 and 1 other 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another 996 in Melbourne If yes - what is it like? Hey Zelrik, yes I have purchased the car. Had it inspected and it came back pretty good. Will likely need new pads and disks, indicator stalk, and upper rear arms. And the cv joint boots have a split so will replace them. Paintwork is good, roof was replaced 18months ago and basically never used so perfect. The car is not concourse but for that price you would not expect it to be. Wife enjoyed the drive, having only driven Caymans I was surprised by the backend feel. Very happy for what I got for the price I paid. IMS is done when the engine was replaced, it was checked visually by the PPI. Still working out delivery to Melbourne. Will post some photos in a build for the repairs and a couple of small mods I want to do straight away, ie Bluetooth as I want to daily it. Need to get rid of the 3 series now... hate selling cars. cheers Taffy MezgerMan and ANF 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ims solution, after market stereo, safe colour choice, low kms for age, are all pluses. If it was manual high 50s might not be unrealistic.

Ooh I dunno, if its as good as the seller says it is, it's probably close to being one of the best 996's around. Depends how one looks at it. A car at $50-55k but you need to spend another 10k cleaning it up if you're pedantic, or this for $60-65k (everyone is negotiable to a point) and you don't have to do a thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But see a new post today about 'My 996.2 has the dreaded inoperable combo switch problem' , so hope the stalk is a simple cheap repair. I just saw a Boxster that colour in our supermarket carpark & I reckon that green colour is much better in the flesh - than in those scary photos. Congrats I think you have done well.

Its the plastic bit inside so does not self cancel, full replacement required sadly. Priced that in. It does look better in person but will likely wrap it down the track. Happy to do everything myself on the list so not so huge cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troubleshooter Posted 8February, 2018 Report Share Posted 8February, 2018 Here's a nice little buy for a great car, good ks, good extras and been on for a week or two - with a 3 grand tyre kick it'd be a good buy even adding in the cost of a few days holiday at the top end and a very interesting drive home if you had the time. Even throwing in a coupla grand of transport and a two way plane ticket it's still a very nice buy. https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-Cayman-2006/SSE-AD-5249485/?Cr=4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
