This is where people come unstuck with pricing and diminished value. As soon as you get pricing crossover to a newer model people will ignore yours. sjm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question - has anyone ever seen a 997 in Aust in an interesting or unusual colour? A mate has a brown one, can’t recall seeing anything else like it.

It'd then be yellows, or some of the metallic blues that were factory available such as (Aqua, Ice Blue Metallic) then I suppose anything of the standard palate that may have also been ordered in low numbers (macadamia etc) then paint to sample.

The car owes money to Mac Bank with registered interest until 4/2024 (that is unless it's just paid off). I paid for a separate PPSR check and wouldnt be worth the headache. Owner also mentioned car came into Australia in 1990. From my understanding, Australian import compliance plates started in 1989 and it hasn't got one. No big deal, but just left me with some concern. Biggest issue it had registered interest. twro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty ordinary when the ad states the following: This vehicle’s VIN has been checked against the Australian Personal Property Securities Register, and there is no security interest or other registration kind logged against the serial number. This vehicle has been checked through the Austroads NEVDIS system, and there are no markers under the written-off or stolen databases. twro and Bondiscwb 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjm Posted 8June, 2022 Report Share Posted 8June, 2022 Anthracite Brown was only available in the 991.1 series. Yeah, it was probably Macadamia on the 997.2. So many bloody colors on the Porsche colour chart. Definitely have Anthracite over Macadamia Though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
