Coastr Posted 31March, 2021 Report Share Posted 31March, 2021 I think the rust is holding it back. People just want cars they can get in and enjoy right now. Not that rust should stop you enjoying the car. Unfortunately confirms all the uk car stigmas. Adrenalin62 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3legs Posted 1April, 2021 Report Share Posted 1April, 2021 I don't care how effing good that car is but no 3.2 is worth near on $300k and if he gets his asking price I want the new owner to adopt me and spend his squillians on me. Having said that I would love one in my shed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could buy at least 4-5 for the same money and tuck 3 away until everyone finally realises just how damn good they are!!!!

drmurugti Posted 1April, 2021 Report Share Posted 1April, 2021 @TwoHeadsTas yes the very same dentist. Dr Chau. He also has a 599 for sale and a 997.2. He is in his 80s now! Yes I do think 295k is steep though but willing buyer willing seller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh you'll care... I'd be keener on a well repaired collision write-off than a "weather" related write-off. Be super sure it's not a flooded car (and there will be dozens of them coming up after the recent rains) Sure you can clean up putrid estuarine water from a car - but it will fail somewhere as a result of early corrosion.

My guess is that it’s a write off from a long while ago .. I was under the impression that there is no more “repairable” write offs and you cannot register them in Oz anymore. Happy to be corrected .. @Jim45 ... I reckon people will still care. Its always been a bad stigma and always will be .. probably care more due to the money involved.

Would want to be substantially more discounted compared to other cars to gain my interest. And I would still care. Or, just avoid the whole WOVR drama and for a little extra you could buy a very similar 997C2S from a known PFA member. @wilburforce Fishcop, wilburforce and firstone 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the flooded Cayman been a manual, I'd have been tempted to grab it off the local owner for a track project. As it is, so long as parts are well cleaned, the wreck will go on to give other Boxter/Caymans some handy parts. If anyone ends up look at this car at the auctions, it got brackish water up to gauges through it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel Posted 4April, 2021 Report Share Posted 4April, 2021 It appears that New South Wales is the only doofus state, to not allow repairable write off’s to be registered remember that many people , If it is in their interests, example, late model & expensive will cash settle with an insurance company So there are likely many happy self-satisfied Porsche and other drivers banging around in crash damaged but nicely repaired vehicles and none the wiser firstone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakroo Posted 4April, 2021 Report Share Posted 4April, 2021 3 hours ago, Dreamr said: ....... There are some exemptions in extreme circumstances, but nothing that will help the average punter. ..... Not quite true Dreamr. Exemptions can be granted in 'limited' circumstances, not as you state 'extreme' circumstances. For example, a vehicle that has been significantly hail damaged could be given exemption as would a vehicle keyed on all panels and had the windows busted. Substantial water inundation while it floated at high speed in to a bridge pier is not one scenario that is likely to allow it to be granted exemption. My Evo was close to being written off after being keyed on 6 panels, and other than weighing a lot more due to an extra coat of paint, there was nothing wrong with it. With prices of spare parts and labour at the spectrum indicator level of of 'gouging', it really isn't too hard to 'financially write off' a perfectly functional car. Note the last 'exempt category'.....of course, once it's been re-registered by the owner at time of repair then it's free to be sold and registered just like any other vehicle. I would argue that many of the restored but previously rusted out air cooled cars with bits and pieces cobbled together and bolted and welded on, donated from several other vehicles and then repainted with an engine rebuild at the cost of many times the initial purchase price are probably just as 'dodgy' as a more modern car repair. ++++++++ https://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/roads/vehicle-registration/written-off/re-registering-a-light-vehicle.html#Whichwritten-offvehiclescanbere-registered Exempt categories (and only once it's been established that there's 2 or fewer non repairable damage areas as per the criteria) Transport will only consider applications to repair and re-register written-off light vehicles if they fit one of the exempt vehicle categories: - hail damaged, where you were the registered operator immediately before the vehicle was hail damaged (contact your insurer) - inherited in a will or letters of administration - registered in your name for more than 28 days before the damage that caused it to be written-off. ++++++++ The item has already been discounted so like any other issue (such as private import) that seems to afflict Porsche drivers the it's cheap in and cheap out and this is perfectly acceptable. So back to the original question - just what made it a write off. Fishcop and firstone 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned, people will always care, but that doesn't mean you should never buy a vehicle on the WOVR. Firstly, as long as the repairs are done well and the car is good otherwise, you just want to make sure you get it at least 20% below market as you will take at least that much (even in 10 years time) when you go to sell it again. You also need to acknowledge that it is going to be tougher to sell, as many would never consider it no matter the price. I have owned a few written off vehicles and as long as you go in with your eyes open, you can save yourself some $.
