Again, not stirring the pot, but bore scoring sounds like a pretty serious problem to have to fix when you're dropping a fair wedge of cash on a Porsche My 2006 4S had a sooty passenger side exhaust tip and much more oil consumption than my current 2005 997 S. That’s why I had the S scoped during the ppi when purchasing it. The 06 was totalled by a marsupial misadventure so a moot point anyway. Just beware if a Meteor Grey 6 speed with black interior comes up for sale with around 82k and a wovr status. 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Posted 10October, 2021 Report Share Posted 10October, 2021 I can see 991.2 GT3 all being around this price by Feb or March next year when the new 992 GT3 start landing down under , should be some great cars up for grabs if someone is in the market for a 991.2 GT3 , that one was a lovely example ..

I'd love to know numbers delivered. Supposedly more RS were sold than GT3 - one thing is for sure, neither is a rare car globally.

Again, not stirring the pot, but bore scoring sounds like a pretty serious problem to have to fix when you're dropping a fair wedge of cash on a Porsche I look at it like the old air cooled 2.7 engine issues that plagued the mark in the 70-80s - they were the subject of thermal failures at the head stud which resulted in all kinds of issues - it was an expensive fix then (and still is now) In truth it was US only cars with pollution fixes (5 blade fan, different exhaust etc..). It only occurred in a fraction of cars, but it tarnished the generation for may years. Time has been kind to the 2.7 overall and we just understand that the 7R case needs to be time-certed during an inevitable rebuild. The risk in the 996/997 generation is a failure of multiple independent technicians taking up the work - this does make the fix more proprietary and expensive (Jake Raby gets rich) but so be it.

JDM_Damo Posted 11October, 2021 Report Share Posted 11October, 2021 Hi all, I'm new here and have lurking for a bit. Does anyone know this car? Prices seem all over lately! I'd like a 356 hardtop or spyder replica ideally but a 912 would get a tick in the household too. https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/1970-porsche-911-t-manual/OAG-AD-19009622 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mc968cs Posted 13October, 2021 Report Share Posted 13October, 2021 Agree. Good buy though rally rego only is not same as road cars, so hard to see it being much more. Yeatesy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cafe_racer Posted 13October, 2021 Report Share Posted 13October, 2021 Guess if you want a Porsche cup car for track days it is a great buy. Race car feel but road car servicing and no nasty cup car maintenance schedule. ps. I’m envious I missed it!

Yup... these kind of cars are always difficult to value, essentially a road car that is as capable on the track as one with full rego, but the hassle & limitation's of rally rego puts it in the same basket as a trailer only full track car, yet its nowhere near as light or fast as a Cup.
