Why?? - Surely these petty things are just a minor omission..😁 When people don't even bother to drive the car out of the garage for some half decent photos of the complete vehicle, you generally assume they are hiding something. You can spot the engine in one of the photos - sitting on the floor adjacent to the rear LHS of the car. LeeM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregDash Posted 9February, 2021 Report Share Posted 9February, 2021 I'll take the 20k 996 over an 82k 987.1 Cayman S... https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2008-porsche-cayman-s-987-manual-my08/SSE-AD-7048103 Looks nicely kept and all, but just a touch ambitiously priced.

Yep, it was back in Nov when the 997.2 turbo S showed up by a dealer in Rosebery for a day for $149K. I had seen it getting washed at Fine shine Zetland mall, so I called the dealer and arranged for an inspection in an hour as I had work meetings. Mid way through my meeting the car showed up as hold and sold the same day, so definitely a flip. Or who knows maybe the seller found something wrong with the car after his impulse buy.

Someone should start a "Dreamers & f&^%wits" thread for a good laugh ‘I know what I’ve got’ Is the red targa an local delivery, converted, uk or something else? Seems good value, looks unmessed with.

There’s a GT2 on Carsales in WA with the same updates. hugh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-Kay Posted 9February, 2021 Report Share Posted 9February, 2021 They did do a semi update with the 997 between gen 1 and gen 2 Have not sighted this car, but the 'mid model' had the updated PCM and I can't recall the other tweaks, although I think that was the crux of it. Bottom line no PDK and changed ltail light design, then .1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P-Kay Posted 10February, 2021 Report Share Posted 10February, 2021 @911virgin Just went back to take a peak and I am not sure whether we were delivered these. I thought they were European only - I could be way off, but if you are keen definitely check the sticker in the book to double check C23.....just read the ad, it's an import If it was me and my coin then --> https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2010-porsche-911-turbo-997-series-ii-auto-awd-my11/OAG-AD-19378586/?Cr=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
