HK100 Posted 2May, 2021 Report Share Posted 2May, 2021 2005 Porsche 911 Carrera 997 Manual 86,000km $98,000 Link here to the Carsales ad. What is so horrible about this that I am missing? Is there a VIN Check website that I can view that shows the options, etc for the vehicle? For Mercedes I use a Vin Check site that shows me the entire data for the vehicle with everything from VIN, engine number and country of delivery, right through to all the options.

I think Stuttcars only lets you decode the VIN (build factory, model etc) but it does list the option codes which you have to get from either options decal or service book, or from PCA etc tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HK100 Posted 3May, 2021 Report Share Posted 3May, 2021 Thanks for the feedback. I hadn't realised I could get a free check from Budget Direct (and I am already a customer of theirs). On the plus side, the PPSR shows that it hasn't been written off. Although, from the photos, the front bumper does look like it's been resprayed. This car looks like it could have a couple of options, but it is hard to tell (and options can add up). I had tried to use lots of google-fu to find a good VIN Decoder like with Mercedes, but seems like the Mercedes on is kind of unique. The price isn't fantastic (I am looking in the $80-120k range), but I have been looking for a better than average 911 and this one ticks most boxes. So at the right price, although I am not clear on what this should be, I could get more interested in this. ESR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafikdous Posted 3May, 2021 Report Share Posted 3May, 2021 Price dropped to $97,997 so you can get your own paid PPSR @HK100, I see you are in Melbourne where the car is, why don't you go and check it out in person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a stunning car @LeeM have you driven this car ? Curious as to what the driving experience would be like. I'm finalising a deal on my 99tt and looking for my next P. As much as I love my turbo, I can't take it out these days without worrying about getting camera fines or risking loss of licence. Hence looking for an earlier more " raw " P driving experience which still feels like loads of fun but without doing 0-100 in 4 sec. As bizarre as that might sound ! ie. this post / car https://richmonds.com.au/portfolio/1983-porsche-911sc-manual-coupe-my84/ micknine01 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 6May, 2021 Report Share Posted 6May, 2021 @Thommo66 Yes I have driven it a while ago mate A very well put together car that goes, handles and stops as they should. It's a little hard to describe here, as all G series cars feel similar to drive, and Andrew's '84 is not that different to my '78, albeit a helluva lot cleaner 😁 It is possibly a little firmer in the ride and turns better into corners than mine does, yet it has been set up by a Porsche specialist. Andrew is very particular with his car, and if there was anything not quite right with it, he would have it sorted pretty quickly.

Thommo66 Posted 6May, 2021 Report Share Posted 6May, 2021 Thanks @LeeM the write up on the Richmonds website reads really well and it's always great to get personal recommendations here about specific P's and about their owners.
