Worth it to have a look at those and then gauge value of the Richmonds one to you juzmister 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-Kay Posted 5March, 2020 Report Share Posted 5March, 2020 (edited) Personally, if you are concerned with the price impact regarding origin of delivery, then consider the one at AutoHause. At least they are in the same state, it is only marginally extra and most importantly has the three pedals, therefore will always be desirable What he said ^^^^ Edited 5March, 2020 by P-Kay TwoHeads bet me to it! juzmister 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLD Posted 5March, 2020 Report Share Posted 5March, 2020 The Richmonds one is probably a little high for an import. There seems to be a few Tiptronic 996 turbos under $100k. Just remember it’ll be that little bit tougher to sell being a tip and an import, so this needs to be factored into the price juzmister 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoHeadsTas Posted 5March, 2020 Report Share Posted 5March, 2020 To be honest, having driven a manual GT3 around Melbourne for only a few hours, if this is to be your daily, you may well want to consider a Tip for practicality Tiv and juzmister 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived in Singapore & exported my personal 996 C2 to Melbourne in 2014 when I was returning home. When I sold the going price for a similar Australian delivered car was $70-$75k & I sold mine for $55k. Based on my limited sample 20-25% discount seems correct. It should be noted however that the guy who purchased mine still owns it, loves it & it's been 100% reliable. Don't be put off by imports if the PPI is strong & the price is right !! juzmister 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No onion on value as I have not tracked turbos closely, but its a great looking example... suede interior I have never seen before, I like it. juzmister 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgy Posted 6March, 2020 Report Share Posted 6March, 2020 If you want to drive a GT3 in traffic, the Cup 4.0 ratio gears makes it a lot easier to drive in traffic... I changed the ratios for track work, but as it turns out, it improves the daily drivability perhaps even more than track! firstone and juzmister 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingporsche Posted 6March, 2020 Report Share Posted 6March, 2020 @juzmister if you wanted a manual 996 turbo, have a look at the Lapis Blue one in Adelaide. I came very close to buying it. You could probably get it for high $90s. Will need to set aside $2-5k for some cosmetic fixups and a major service. But otherwise it checked out really well. Interior & exterior generally good. Service history at Buiks & Porsche - a little sporadic - but basically up to date. It's been probably 4 years since last service, but hardly any miles done either. Cosmetics needed are rim repair (gutter rash) on all 4 wheels - a couple of minor body scrapes fixed with a paint correction/touchup and new front lower lip (although we never saw the condition of it, owner has it tucked away due to his steep driveway). juzmister 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps someone should tell him that,s not Meridian Blue ,,,looks more like Mexico or Riviera ,,,,,,I think the GT2 rear wing and rear bumper ,,,the aftermarket front spoiler kit and side skirts would be a negative point for me if I were in the market for a 996 Turbo ,,,just gives the impression that its been played around with and things may not be as they should be on the car ...

I ran the ruler over that car when I was on the hunt around 4 years ago. Appears to be the same owner. When I saw the add the first time, full disclosure on some electrical work that made me look elsewhere.

Look at the electrical wiring ( whole car). Does it look its aged 5, 10 or 20 years Ask if any of the cars electrical wiring has been touched from factory? Get the vin number and perhaps ask one of the porsche dealers around sydney ( was that car garaged closer to Wollongong or Sydney in recent times) if they have worked on that car. If so perhaps ask how much change out of 18k was spent on wiring. So no plot thickening, or is it you don't use google, facebook, don't think anything of an owners name or location, Rego or a vin number ?? When I'm looking and serious, surely your got that basic info pencil whipped and surely you would spend at least a couple of minutes with a few word searches using above and see what pops up on those platforms and link any dots. So for me within bugger all time, appeared clear to me the car was garaged in a suburb close to a hill climb club in NSW, owner appears to have posts in facebook that lead to some business ownership ( one business auto related) and can see a pic of a blue 996 turbo and its not the pics in car sales, but obviously the same car. Owner appears to enjoy a hill climb and some decent times recorded in hill climb events in a 996 turbo at that nearby club. Same car, perhaps.? or just sheer coincidence. Then what type of incident would result a significant bill on electricals closer to 20k than 10k. Is that paint colour factory and if not when was it changed. Don't need those answers definatively, but did't pass the 10 minute google sniff test to my liking. Thanks but no thanks for me, but price was a fair bit more than current asking back then. I prefer stock as a rock from the outside but a bit of bling when its on a hoist from under neath or some subtle engine bay tweaks that's only noticeable to the trained eye. That all said its at the high end of targa aircooled asking prices that probably have more shadier pasts. It's a manual and boosted, electricals should be really good and if the mezgers got good compression and not blowing smoke, and a bit of depreciation does not phase you and you have 5k extra to straighten out some odds and sods and a major service ( standard on any 996 turbo as I see it), perhaps a good drivers car to beat on for the price.

twro Posted 11March, 2020 Report Share Posted 11March, 2020 There is an interesting 997.1 Carerra S for sale at Weltmeister with a "Cup R" designation, does anyone know the history of Cup R? To my knowledge it's not an official Porsche AG series / version - but it looks kind of legit with the metal plate and VIN (see pics). This car was delivered new to Porsche Centre Brisbane. https://weltmeister.com.au/buy/2006-porsche-911-carrera-997-s-coupe-2dr-man-6sp-3-8i/185027 Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one is said to be a “Club R”. Doesn’t exist This one also has sports seats with abdaptive controls. Looking good for my Gut of Neglect then. However, its a nicely spec’d car. edgy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is the same as @Skidmarks Cup R is a race car only, I think it sits between GT3 Cup and GT3R You could always check what sales type 997121 is, or run the VIN with PCA... but a Club R, never heard of her!
