Or for boost junkies not far off a 996 gt2 and I note that 996 turbos in average condition were asking / getting more than gt3's.

Troubleshooter Posted 20January, 2019 Report Share Posted 20January, 2019 Ultra cheap 944! Priced really really low and open to fair offers. I think that if he values his car that low, my fair offer will be 90 cents. Yep 90 cents, I'm only knocking him down 10% that's about fair I reckon https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/balaklava/cars-vans-utes/1985-porsche-944-coupe/1207533846 firstone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The early G series narrow bodied cars are very hard to find in good condition let alone mint condition, but obviously I can only speak from my experience. Here’s a nice 2.7 and well under the 100k bench mark. No idea what it’s like close up though https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/1974-Porsche-911-Carrera-Manual/SSE-AD-5869159?pageSource=details&id=SSE-AD-5869159 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cafe_racer Posted 22January, 2019 Report Share Posted 22January, 2019 Tyre kickers, advice sought.... What are perceptions on current values and perceived future values between: - 1981 911SC Targa in excellent condition, minor restoration work done compared to - 996 turbo manual low k's, good condition Pricing seems comparable, where do peoples crystal balls see these two items heading? I'm obviously not in it to make a $ but do like to know that I purchased well. As in buying a 991 Carrera S 2 years ago would leave me feeling like I did my dough unnecessarily as they seem to be depreciating hard.

Perhaps if not done so already, to answer your question you need to driven a stock manual 996 turbo back to back with a targa and then drive a tweaked 996 turboo whilst keeping the boost gauge at zero so it's a fair comparison with the targa performance wise whilst rowing through the gears but then stepping it up to see at least a 1 on the boost guage dial and then reflected on which one has the WOW factor and is the 6 figure car all day every day in normal economic conditions when your behind the wheel.
