I am kind of intrigued by the mongrel that it is, but I would not want to be the guy standing in line at VicRoads with an unidentifiable VIN Reminds me of the 68 I looked at a couple of years ago that had 2 VIN’s. Seller didn’t think it was a problem... I walked. Fishcop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicko82 Posted 2January, 2021 Report Share Posted 2January, 2021 Does anyone know anything about this car.. https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/1986-porsche-911-carrera-3-2-sport?fbclid=IwAR3IiIZZBvKbETiNUX4Ti_UPz1FbGgE5kEk85y2kKBz4vLrnQ_V-15nnCWc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstone Posted 2January, 2021 Report Share Posted 2January, 2021 I heard in a police interview the other day talking about rebirthing. Apparently dodgy bros can use a vin from a vehicle from another state to rebirth a car in a separate state. Only really picked up when one of the 2 trys to transfer to another state. I forget which states he was referring to. I may have got it wrong. The clip was on utube but was an official news report. Seems too easy to be true tho eh. Perry mason anyone?

My biggest concern is the potential of rust and the paint looks to be a bit patchy in certain areas. The drivers door has leading edge dings but no show stopper, the biggest issue is the potential rust under the paint in the rear passenger rocker panel. The driver side looks clean. I am not keen to drop $80K without many unanswered questions at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The true bidding wont happen till the final day/hours. Irrespective of value there are still questions and it comes down to how risk averse you are.

Where do these people get their sense of 'fair and reasonable market value'. I purchased a pretty much identical car with a rebuilt gearbox and engine with 50,000kms more for less than half of that asking price... I'll happily take $100k off that price and sell mine if anyone's interested 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArthurK Posted 3January, 2021 Report Share Posted 3January, 2021 What I am interested in is how much of a hit an imported takes vs a local car. if the car can be shown to be in good health what level of discount would one put on a UK import. I have seen a number of cars that look very clean in advert nothing inspected in person though. My other question would be what car is more appealing to the masses, 911 coupe carrera sport vs supersport. I must admit I am interested in either a coupe supersport or dare I say it supersport targa. 23 minutes ago, wangan said: Jesus!

911 Posted 3January, 2021 Report Share Posted 3January, 2021 I guess it depends on the person really. For me it's more condition. Two cars identical and one was UK delivered vs Aus delivered, I'd be happier to save some money and get the UK one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With prices not coming down, I reckon some buyers are happy to pay a bit less for an import just to get into an air cooled. There's also those who must have Oz delivered and happy to pay a premiun Paddy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In saying that, the rust issues that are synonymous with UK cars could easily end up costing more to rectify than that difference .. and you'd still have a UK car ..

A lot of personal imports have come in early in their life and are no better or worse that AU delivered cars. You're right, for what ever reason the imports will never be worth a local delivery - but this need not be an issue if purchased at an appropriate discount and an acceptance that it will need to be discounted when off loaded Adrenalin62 and Dreamr 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
