hugh Posted 23January, 2019 Report Share Posted 23January, 2019 12 hours ago, cafe_racer said: 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. And based on such a vague description you will probably be lucky to get a tyre kickers advice, not sure if it will be worth anything though. Polar opposite cars in terms of ownership. wilson59 and reggiegums 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is, I wouldn't say the Targa is exactly cheap! 😳 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 23January, 2019 Report Share Posted 23January, 2019 He’s asking which one is going to drop more vs the other, or which one will go up the most. i say the 996 ‘tis the buy. 930s languished for a long time at only a minor price margin over 911s. That was because of cost of repairs. You see that now with 996t vs c4s. It won’t always be like that. Targas have a soft future in my crystal ball.

Thanks for the opinions everyone, good to have a think about options. As always i'll probably get paralysis by analysis and will stay put with that I have got!

DJM Posted 26January, 2019 Report Share Posted 26January, 2019 My gut says a couple of years ago. Really not sure but just remember seeing it for sale and pretty sure saw it out at Phillip Island circuit too. KG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teutonic Posted 26January, 2019 Report Share Posted 26January, 2019 The blue car is a WA car. Have seen it out at club events. Has been largely parked up the last couple of years. Has set some cracking lap times. Is a very well put together car. Very clean and tidy. Could easily make a great weekend hot rod, track day car or more serious racer. It has reg plates on it. Just aren’t sure if it’s rally reg or full road reg. They get the same number plates in WA. KG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teutonic Posted 26January, 2019 Report Share Posted 26January, 2019 Guess I should have read the ad Qld you would probably get road reg as it. Might need the front half of the cage cut out elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time in the flesh that I have sighted a 997 My08 gt2 ( 23k on the odometer and a lazy 680Nm of torque) which was out of the corner of my eye ( headlights first and then spoiler) that looked well out of place stuck half way between Barbagello's Ferrari showroom and their Maserati showroom in Perth. Not much change from 340k in terms of sticker price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My "new" track RX7 will be faster and more raw than the GT2 was and about 85% cheaper. Troubleshooter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
