Call me cynical, because they know it negatively affects value and are hoping to find a buyer that doesn’t think to ask.

3legs Posted 26June Report Share Posted 26June What's going on with the Macan market? Seems to be a few very nice Macans for sale with reasonable low kms for some really good prices. I was thinking of getting a Cayenne but i'm being tempted by the Macan ( diesel preferably ). Am I missing something about the Macan market?

Spets87 Posted 26June Report Share Posted 26June Both Macans and Cayennes have definitely dropped 20% or more over the last 6 months, along most other Euros. 3legs and ScottyP 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, seems like the real question is “what’s keeping 911/Cayman/Boxster asking prices so high?” (and will it last) … they seem to be adjusting, but much slower.

Such a shame hardly any new 987.2 or 981 caymans are coming onto the market.

When you see it in a graph its pretty jarring. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M1SL Anyone who thinks interest rates are going down are kidding themselves. Short term desirable cars should drop, long term they're only going in the other direction. JWM, tomk86, kov and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doubt he drove it much if at all and I very much doubt he cared about it. He would have had plenty of much more interesting vehicles.

LeeM Posted 17July Report Share Posted 17July Old client of mine had loads of Brock gear (helmets, race suits etc), as they were good mates. SS Brock with 20km (twenty, not twenty thousand) on the clock. Hasn't touched the ground since it was parked, so I imagine that would fetch a pretty penny or three. Also has an original XU1 driven by Brock and the first E type in Oz. Stepo, micknine01, P-Kay and 5 others 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Lee I saw your info about your "Brock" client having the first the first E type in Oz. I used to have the the first E type Coupe delivered in Oz; so I was curious if his and my old E Type are the same car. Have you seen it? What colour is it?

Hey mate I have seen it, and even have a photo of it 😁 I should have added it was the first E Type delivered to Australia that he bought new in the UK, (or ordered from here) and imported himself. It was a few years ago, so I can't remember exactly, so the 'legit Aussie delivered' may not be correct Other than that, the suits and helmets in the background are Peter Brock's, the speedway car was powered by a Renault engine (I think...it was European anyway). The model car collection was massive, and all cars were perfectly aligned and spaced. The gent was building a metal 1/24 scale replica of a GTR XU1 Torana from scratch, including a billet engine that had been handmade. It was nuts! He has quite a collection of speedway bikes, which I think one was (don't quote me on this) NZ's icon Ivan Mauger and also one of Aussie John Boulger' bikes He was (think he still might be in his late 70's) racing an 'Australian made car from the 70's', yet he did ask me at the time to not publish a photo of that one tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
