There were AU 7 delivered, and this one is an UK delivery. I get weird feeling looking at the panel fit on that one, especially around the clam shell Also i found this ad from 2018, autohaus selling one for $68k https://www.facebook.com/AutohausHamilton/videos/2406745696065263/ I think they're priced cheap because once you start researching this model you realise the one to buy is the cocoa interior and roof combo. that was my thought train.

Yeh, I don't get it either. It's nothing like the 987/981/718 Spyder models which have some clear differentiation. TINGY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdmc Posted 12October, 2020 Report Share Posted 12October, 2020 Hi all, New registered member, long time lurker, previous 993 owner back in the UK. Interested in thoughts on this (tried searching but couldn't find previous discussion): http://richmonds.com.au/portfolio/1978-porsche-911-sc-sporto/ Been for sale for a while, since at least April, obvious flags to many Aussie buyers would be LHD, import, Sporto to Manual conversion, repaint albeit in original colour. That being said, price looks ok given the above if condition checks out. Has anyone been to see/drive it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeM Posted 12October, 2020 Report Share Posted 12October, 2020 @Jdmc Hey mate I remember seeing it when Richmonds first got hold of it, and it was a shed! They had just finished restoring it the last time I saw it, and it looked very clean and tidy. Can't say much about it other than that. I can have a look on Saturday of you need me to, though maybe another SA member could who has a bit more time than I do at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many buyers here would be happy to buy a LHD transmission swap car, but it has to be priced right. That is Aussie car money. I sold my Aussie delivered, matching numbers car only 2 months ago for that exact region of cash. It was a different colour from delivery, but in essence the "right car" ... I don't know that car in particular and I'm sure that it's a nice one ... I'm only commenting on it in relation to the 911 market in general ...

tasporsche Posted 12October, 2020 Report Share Posted 12October, 2020 Currently looking to pickup an early Cayenne Turbo (2003 to 2006) and can't help but think that sellers are asking far too much, which seems to be confirmed by all of the listings remaining unsold. Realistically, I think early examples with 200,000+ km's that are a little rough around the edges should be in the vicinity of $10k to $15k. Would others agree with this? If anyone is looking to sell theirs and is prepared to accept a more realistic price let me know 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the challenges right now and for the past 12 months seems to be a lack of good stock in market. Whatever I choose and pay I’ll be at peace with, the lack of consistency in pricing is just making this a little more challenging. I think with this car specifically the recent refresh (pending what was actually carried out) and the low relative mileage (pending verification) are likely what’s driving price expectations (plus Richmonds) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that means above or below the "average" advertised prices, so be it. There is a certain car advertised above what a few of us deem "the right price" .. we have clearly seen 6 odd cars of the same sell around it while it has sat there. ... now, if someone was to pay the "over inflated" price, that is also ok. If it works for them then great! ..

Nikos Posted 12October, 2020 Report Share Posted 12October, 2020 That Marble Grey 86 Carrera 3.2 is really nice. Noticed this the other day and it's allready under offer. Curious what they were asking for it as it was advertised POA. Actually think the colour looks great. Pity its a Sporto though. https://classicthrottleshop.com/1975-porsche-911-2-7-platinum/ Dreamr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
