It got a lot of praise instead!?! If this is bait Im biting. I was going to mention it myself but others seem to know more unspecified details (secret or otherwise) on almost any given car advertised, that would support any given price, high or low it would seem. I have not read the praise for this car, however, its a USA import & converted to RHD, Fuch "style" wheels, & its priced at $167,000, maybe someone better informed than me or JLD may want to chip in & educate us on this car & price. Were the "praisers" praising the car or the ad's bravado? I'm with you here JLD & you 901er (unless its a general shit stir)😀. micknine01 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whateverreally Posted 19January, 2020 Report Share Posted 19January, 2020 Surely it’s not worth more than $80k ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a shit stir at all, I genuinely don’t get the admiration for a converted SC at over $160k. Originally it was almost $200k from memory, and people were praising the car despite pointing out that the price was off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 19January, 2020 Report Share Posted 19January, 2020 If it was a Turbo, maybe close to the mark, but as a converted SC, no way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup - that and the "engine building course" bit. Both unecessary and devalue the ad in my opinion. I'm assuming the guy has been inundated with low balling ass hats and basically had enough! But.... Hartech rebuild - Tick | IMS whilst in there - Why not | Zero Gravity set up - Tick | Lots of refresh items - Tick I'm not sure why I have not been to look at it yet as the missus keeps telling me too! I've become strangly attached to my 996 though....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim. The ad wording says chassis has 18k km but it shows 180,000 in the carsales info. And that peppered bonnet sure looks more like 180,000......man that’s a lot of stone chips.

People dont mind a well cared for air cooled track car - why not the same for the water pumpers? Not a dig at any one just a genuine question.

spiller Posted 27January, 2020 Report Share Posted 27January, 2020 ^^^ in 2035 they won’t care about the kms, but that’s high for 2020 as far as any 997 is concerned. I reckon it’s a cool car though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t888 Posted 1February, 2020 Report Share Posted 1February, 2020 This UK Import 997.2 manual convertible is listed at $71k - cheapest 997.2 by a good margin.
