OBRUT Posted 28January, 2019 Report Share Posted 28January, 2019 The Countach market is very odd. There is both supply and demand but no transactions as the gap between seller and buyer price expectation is enormous. Dave997S 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Tinker Posted 29January, 2019 Report Share Posted 29January, 2019 Has anybody logged on to AH website lately? I thought I had gone to sleep and woken up in 2030 - there are 12 cars for sale starting at $845k (997 GT2 RS) and then drop to a paltry $260k (991 GTS). My man maths tots them up to just short of $5.7 million.... The first 6 or so cars I've never seen advertised before - looks like somebody is offloading their collection with some serious stuff now on the market......

Tips Posted 29January, 2019 Report Share Posted 29January, 2019 Some other interesting cars under the drop sheets. looks like an RX3 savanna coupe under the white drop sheet next to it and a VH Brock commodore in front us what appears to be a red 964 under the blue. I'd be a happy man with all 4 in my garage👌💕😍🤑 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own a MY2003 manual 996tt and love it. Spent ages flipping between this car and a 993. They are VERY different cars. And I imagine that the SC Targa is as well although I have not driven one. Really depends what you want it for. I haven't driven a bad P yet The 996tt is a weapon. You can drive it anywhere and get more fun out of it than the average or very capable amateur driver would need. Mine has never had any changes to the original spec but I am told by plenty that one can get a huge performance increase if that's your thing with the legendary Metzker engine. Can't help you with the relative values increase question though. I didn't buy mine with ROI as a primary reason. More like ROF ( fun ) ! Go drive them back to back as he suggests ... same day ideally !! Also - any reason why you are comparing these particular 2 models in the 911 classics range ?

Performance increases aside with some minor tweaks the biggest contributor to the ROI / ROF for even some basic tweaks is the throttle response in every gear after 1st.

Gsaps Posted 29January, 2019 Report Share Posted 29January, 2019 I’m sure I’ll get roasted for saying this but anyone who pays this would need their head read (and I’m sure those who’ll disagree will be people who own similar) I guess it’s supply and demand and the market will dictate etc etc and someone who pays this much won’t exactly be struggling to make ends meet but I’d rather import a LHD and save 60k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keen eyes to spot the Irmscher wheel peeking out in pic #6 Thanks @JV911. Agree it's probably a 2 it was the badge you can see through the cover on the boot lid that threw me into thinking a 3. @WOKA For me B pillar looks too tall for a 100. based on the surrounding cars that's probably not a 964 2 or 4, maybe something a little more collectable me thinks 😏 16 minutes ago, Gsaps said: I’m sure I’ll get roasted for saying this but anyone who pays this would need their head read (and I’m sure those who’ll disagree will be people who own similar) I guess it’s supply and demand and the market will dictate etc etc and someone who pays this much won’t exactly be struggling to make ends meet but I’d rather import a LHD and save 60k It would suit a purist that must have that all important AU delivery. As @Carrera86 points out it's in good nic and km's are not bad for it's age. Pre ppi makes an easier sale and 3.2's command or get a premium. I know some forum members sold similar spec cars early last year for similar money, maybe more. As you say @Gsaps market will tell how long it sits. LHD non matching #, ripe for hotrodding better suits my budget for weekend smt activity. scashin and Carrera86 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quality of the photography is amazing https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/1989-Lamborghini-Countach-25th-Anniversary-Manual/SSE-AD-5836273 Many years ago spectating at a Maserati Club day at Sandown, a guy had a red late model Countach. Didn't leave the pits all day. In fact it left the track on a flat bed. Couldn't start the thing. Stunk of fuel. Legendary Italian reliability and build quality. Problem with electrics (plus I suspect the gaggle of downdraft Webers was out of whack). The guy was spitting chips. $1.1M? Yeah, nah. While I had late model Countach posters as a kid, as I've got older, the early cars seem much nicer (and more valuable). https://goo.gl/images/YPYDuq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
