My thoughts too, but seems like others have prior knowledge of this car..? (I took a quick look through this thread, but couldn't see any mention). The Ad gives almost no detail, which adds to the assumption of a scam, however looking over the ad and joining the dots it would seem plausible.... Never mind... The Ad is gone...! 😦 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She owned the car for 12 years and did not realise until someone did a search on the VIN. If an inspection comes up good for a car and the price is right, then a WOVR needn't be avoided.

I understand your reasoning, however I believe this is entirely subjective. Foremost, it would depend on the type of damage originally sustained or reason for the write off. However, personally, even if the price is right, I would not be interested unless it was for a track car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstone Posted 24February, 2020 Report Share Posted 24February, 2020 Subjective indeed. Say a corolla type car for daily drive. And yes type of damage, quality of repairs. Years ago i had a mate targeting repairable write offs at auction to repair. Buy in price was half for a low klms car. Yes, easy done. Buy in was around 5k. A marque brand where provinance means more and not for track use only. No i wouldn't because resale so much more difficult. Plus you're holding a bigger bag of money into it.

WGA Posted 24February, 2020 Report Share Posted 24February, 2020 I have spotted a car in Sydney that I would liked to get PPI'd but don't know anyone up there. So does anybody know who the very best person is in the Sydney area for PPIs, specifically on 996s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've bought 2 cars from AutoHaus Hamilton and have been happy with the process and advice we've received, and quality of the vehicles. Grant, one of the owners and workshop guy also seems to be very well regarded. Also my LHD 996 GT3 CS was previously owned by PR Tech's owner, and obviously looked after by PR Tech. My mechanic certainly didn't find any dodgies even though it had been heavily tracked and the car had been kept in very sound condition. Cavaco motors also used to have a very good reputation, but haven't heard anything about them recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Tinker Posted 25February, 2020 Report Share Posted 25February, 2020 ^^^^ What he said ^^^^ I wondered how long it would take for more (expensive) 996 GT3's that would come wriggling out of the woodwork - when last week there was only one car available on Carsales....
