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 ! Makes perfect sense and resulted in me staying with an air cooled for that "sensation" of speed . Thommo66 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBRUT Posted 6May, 2021 Report Share Posted 6May, 2021 5 hours ago, Thommo66 said: @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/ You’re not alone. The guy that just bought my 79 911SC was replacing his 991. Too fast and too boring! He had a SC which he sold it 2 or 3 years and missed the raw drive.

Thommo66 Posted 6May, 2021 Report Share Posted 6May, 2021 Check this out .... what am I missing here ? Asking price seems too low. If it's genuine and all in good order then it seems like fantastic buying in the current environment. https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2009-porsche-911-turbo-997-series-ii-auto-awd-my10/SSE-AD-7046979/?Cr=101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nytelfer Posted 6May, 2021 Report Share Posted 6May, 2021 I don’t follow prices of Turbos but that appears to be a 997.1 rather than a 997.2 (as advertised)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a weird one, a 997.1.5, produced in very limited numbers for the UK market to meet demand. It has with .2 updated led lights and infotainment etc, but .1 engine and transmission etc. (no affiliation) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still haven't set eyes on it, purchased sight unseen and then it was rushed straight off to have some fettling done on the motor.

Techno Posted 7May, 2021 Report Share Posted 7May, 2021 I'm not sure if this has come up for discussion yet. I'm not up with current air-cooled values. Is this legit? https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/mowbray/cars-vans-utes/1988-porsche-930-black-manual-convertible/1271751511 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3legs Posted 7May, 2021 Report Share Posted 7May, 2021 It's an import ( looks like from the US ) therefore has been converted plus it's a Cab.. Paintwork doesn't look the best but other than that it appears to be all there. IMO it's not worth $250k. Probably somewhere around the $150k mark but I'm just going by what I sold my UK 930 for 3 years ago but then again I'm probably wrong and someone will school me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wegentop Posted 10May, 2021 Report Share Posted 10May, 2021 did anyone here see a 997.2 GT3RS that was post on the carsales yesterday ? The Ad is currently "on hold". I found something strange on the car, feel free to message me if you are the buyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
