I spoke to the owner about this car about 4 months ago - he had it for sale through a dealer on consignment, but wouldn't let me arrange a PPI through Porsche Centre Perth without giving a valid reason. I let it go. I don't think it's a carsales bug but rather another attempt to sell after trying a few times already. It's definitely had a crash damage because the bonnet isn't original. I've also heard that there's a bit going on underneath the car if anyone is given a chance to look. A few of the indies in Perth know about this car if you call them for more info.

But, if the donk and gearbox check out, the rest is cosmetic and can be done over time. Reasonable entry price but bank another 20- 35K (depending on how far you go)to get the cosmetics right and if the engine is tired another 25. Gearbox 10.

Tips Posted 2October, 2018 Report Share Posted 2October, 2018 23 minutes ago, Daly87 said: is that really worth an extra $20k over this one For me the silver over black is more desirable and while I like lapis blue, I feel the beige has dated poorly, particularly when it wears. My personal preference is the 3.6 and having the $5-7k or so IMS done on the Mk2 is good insurance. I think it’s probably more a $13k or so difference as the Mk2 could be had for close to $50 (and with IMS done on a coupe that would be good buying) not sure if there is much price movement on the mk1 as it’s well priced now. The Mk1 could be the ‘hold for later desirability’ if the the speculation is right. In my book it’s personal preference as you are the one driving it now.

edgy Posted 2October, 2018 Report Share Posted 2October, 2018 I would buy the Lapis Blue... but then again I would say that. ? I like the first year Carrera 2 the most, don't ask me for a rationale explanation, I just think they are a great expression of the vintage! The only thing wrong with the Lapis car is the lack of amber indicator lenses.... you absolutely need those on a first year car!

You could also ask are 997's worth double a comparable condition MK1 996, same thing, 997 owners will say absolutely, I would say absolutely not.
