Face book posts on Sunday Results in 48hrs Carsales- 0 enquiries Facebook - 5 inquiries, 1 dickhead Insta - 16 inquires - 2 offers, Mates of Mates - 3 offers (one lowball), first test drive this week not bad That is interesting, my 996 Turbo in around the same time period. * FB two messages, no lookers, no dickheads. * Word of mouth, one call but is also looking at GT3s Will put your Instagram idea to the test today, but I doubt the results given the difference in following. Carsales will go up next week after I get the PPI. Sold my last car here via PFA so I really must get onto paying my membership. hugh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. Tom is Insta Glam & SM royalty, the reach is relative to the amount of "followers" Not surprising though, did you not find the car via SM @turboT ?

People don't always know that they're looking for something until they see it. Social media is the same ... comes up in your news feed (or whatever it is) and it looks interesting ... the ultimate impulse purchase .. Best lead for my 996.2 has come from a For Sale sign at a recent car show. Will hopefully find out tonight..... Been up on Scumtree for a month and first enquiry yesterday, on FB as well and first enquiry day before. Haven't tried CarSales yet, wasn't happy with response I got when selling the 987 (only 1 enquiry apart from the scammers, but then again, that was the purchaser), might try that if wrong answer tonight....

Tips Posted 15April, 2019 Report Share Posted 15April, 2019 I’m finding car sales very wholesaler driven, one DH on face book and a Macan is not glam enough for insta. talking to Rob at Kollector recently and he said all of his sales come via social and pretty much uses it exclusively. Agree, it seems to work when you have the follower base. found my SC on CS and was at his door within a few hours of it being listed. Everyone else was probably on social and missed it...🤣 Dreamr and firstone 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I’ll try this again as my last post was pretty much instantly deleted as I wasn’t a financial member. SERIOUSLY ? Due to it being deleted I’ll also have a bit of a bitch now. Yeah I know the rules about financial memberships and posting your car for sale. HOWEVER unlike most on this forum I have put many hours of my own time and some money volunteering my vehicles for photo shoots a whole boring day down at haunted hills sitting in my 4WD as a recovering vehicle. Yeah I was thanked for my time, but I now get the feeling it wasn’t really appreciated and is why I haven’t done it since. I know other that put in a lot of personal time and effort into this forum yet they still have to pay this $25 clearly it’s not the money it’s the principal of it. End rant. Back to my original post, I think TurboT 912 will probably do alright on instagram as it’s an international market car. Well let’s see how this link goes this time. symsy and Troubleshooter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Economistgt3 Posted 15April, 2019 Report Share Posted 15April, 2019 I buy at auctions. Pay the value of second highest bidder. Bought three that way. I can't see issues with auctions and haven't figured out why people don't sell at auction. I never look at social media and can't think of anything worse than interacting with a seller on Carsales.

I'm always up for a chat, you have my number, but if you would rather vent on here then that's up to you. It goes without saying, this place and any events that come as a result of it are only possible due to volunteers.

edgy Posted 16April, 2019 Report Share Posted 16April, 2019 Don't want to stray too off topic, but just on the FM thing, I find there really isn't an effective (if at all) alert that your FM has expired... most don't have a problem with paying it, and as with most of us, I am sure we post from the shitter on a mobile phone that doesn't display that user data in the mobile display format.

Mate I won’t bang on about this anymore apart from this reply, please don’t take this as a personal go at you, unless it was you who deleted it in which case yeah pick up the phone. Its not about feeling short changed or venting, it was a plane old slap in the face to be honest to have my post instantly deleted and what’s more it was a Instagram link not a for sale add. For me there is no longer social currency on this forum, is this a social forum or a business ? I feel I and “more so” some others here including you haven’t been given any good will despite the time and effort on this forum and supporting events. Hence the reason I didn’t help at HB2.

symsy Posted 16April, 2019 Report Share Posted 16April, 2019 The commentary and response the deleted for sale adverts is a SHAME Moderators and friends pick up the. Fuchin phone ... talk to each other or PM . Rules and principles are one thing but so is understanding a key premise of a forum or group . Come on guys Porsche guys worrying about $25 bucks, pay it forward .. or pay it later .. we have done this before ... why so zealous on the delete key ? Wheres the love !! Is the forum bankrupt ?? Our connections are worth more than this . Im happy to facilitate a discussion if needs be ?? Let’s sort the financial membership bullshit once and for all , it’s created too many shitty moments Lets perhaps get a thread running , let’s get it supported and paid for . Please this rears it’s head every six months or less , why doesn’t a group of intelligent and affluent work this out ?? The forum has value , let’s pay for some of it and stop the witch hunt Im totally also for social currency , which is mateship, supporting events, sharing hard to get parts , information , lists favours , organising drives and more ..

cafe_racer Posted 17April, 2019 Report Share Posted 17April, 2019 Has anyone tyre kicked this? https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/Porsche-911-Carrera-1996/SSE-AD-5814103/?Cr=8 K's are on the high side, however service books are solid and has all been done at official Porsche dealerships. Also that colour is spot on, it seems there were some "vesuvius" edition cars, any way to tell if this was one of those or if its a standard car that happens to be in the "vesuvius" colour?
