Dreamr Posted 31January, 2015 Report Share Posted 31January, 2015 Nice C3.2 but not much change out of $70k!http://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/Porsche-911-Carrera-1988/OAG-AD-867262/?Cr=24Can't imagine how it could have needed new P&C's at that mileage though.And you were asking me where all the 3.2's went! See what happens when you actually look ....Regarding that 3.2 above .... go and have a look at the "for sale, barter, trade or swap" forum .... it is being sold by a member here ....

DJM Posted 31January, 2015 Report Share Posted 31January, 2015 Tazzieman, where's the sweet spot with 928s. Early 4.7 S for $10k (I'd have nearly that much in gold coins in my centre console!)http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-928-1981/SSE-AD-3038405/?Cr=1 Or the silver one above for $22k Or later 5L for $17khttp://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-928-1986/SSE-AD-3154716/?Cr=10 - green doesn't suit but looks tidyhttp://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/Porsche-928-1986/AGC-AD-15576632 Since I was a kid I've loved these things. Has to be the original shape not the later ('89 on?) update. Pacha interior is even better for 80s retro. First one i saw in the 80s seemed like it was from Mars. At these prices, almost worth sticking one in the garage for a bit of fun, especially at $10k. Very cool and cheap way to run around town provided it keeps running. But I have fears of Rover-esque non starting, flickering dash lights, electronic gremlins and very expensive repairs. Please convince me it's a bad idea...... And are they great to drive or more a boulevard cruiser? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spirit of Racing Posted 31January, 2015 Report Share Posted 31January, 2015 Mike,I'm not entirely convinced that it's an import .....I can't see any telltale signs of being a convert, and unless it's a UK import, someone might have just got an Oz delivered bargain of bargains (UK delivered cars don't usually have air cond.)Maybe someone else can see something I've missed ...... Bargain of a lifetime - but missed opportunity. Aus del, matching # clean car, sold for above advertised price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazzieman Posted 1February, 2015 Report Share Posted 1February, 2015 Tazzieman, where's the sweet spot with 928s. Early 4.7 S for $10k (I'd have nearly that much in gold coins in my centre console!) But I have fears of Rover-esque non starting, flickering dash lights, electronic gremlins and very expensive repairs. Please convince me it's a bad idea...... And are they great to drive or more a boulevard cruiser? I cannot choose your favourite "wine" Like 911s you just have to go and sample a few , and expect some are better set up or fresher. e.g. 25 year old injectors might be clagged and the car feels sluggish...autos different from manuals... This is classic car territory , classic supercar territory and these cars are quite sophisticated . Pretty much the only reason they are "cheap" is inverted snobbery from 911 owners. If you can't do any work yourself , as with a Ferrari or Lambo you are at the mercy of your local mechanic, and most do not work on these rare cars (they must have the factory workshop manual for a start). As with any water cooled car you are going to require waterpumps and timing belts. Unlike some classic Ferrari's, it is not an engine-out job. I would approach a purchase exactly the same way I would for a 964 or 993, similarly complex and expensive to repair. 911 engine rebuild? - 20-30k+ 928 engine rebuild? - 15-20k? Buy a cherished one and you will have much much more than a boulevard cruiser , and it won't be a garage queen like 95% Ferraris. Daily drive? Occasional weekend drive? These cars begged to be driven often, otherwise they can get grumpy. Here's an experience from Rennlist "Sabrina has just clocked 450 000km! In the 370 000km and 15 years that I have owned the 928S, the engine has never been opened, she still runs with the original exhaust system, no suspension bushes have needed replacement and the paint is largely original except for a few touch ups here and there. She has only ever broken down twice - once with a failed air flow sensor, and the second time with a failed starter relay. So far I have had to replace 2 sets of engine mountings, 6 sets of tyres, 1 set of brake discs (new fronts now required), 4 reverse clutches, 1 auto gearbox seal kit, 1 set of gearbox mountings, 2 heater valves, about 100 liters of engine oil, 45 liters of ATF, 1 dashboard, 2 headlight height adjusting mechanisms, 1 set of shocks (well overdue), 5 cambelts, 2 sump gaskets, 3 windscreens, 1 instrument cluster motherboard, 1 aircon compressor, 1 visco fan, 4 front spoilers, 1 set of injectors, 72 spark plugs, 19 oil filters, 7 auto gearbox filters, 7 fuel filters, 2 door handle mechanisms, 2 sets of side window seals, 1 side window channel, 2 driveshaft joints and boots.......I suppose I've rebuilt the car.This is undoubtedly the best car I have ever owned and still enjoy driving her at every opportunity." I would say the early 928s are "all $15-20k cars" and S4s and GTs "all $25-50k cars" one way or another. Your buy in point may seem attractive , and there are some bargains as people seek to offload to a small market negatively biased by adverse internet reports. The good thing is we don't have cars from frozen climes subject to salt. My '82 doesn't have a skerrick of rust and I have sorted just about every electrical item , most of which are related to cleaning ground connections and finding chafed wires. The 928 is a wolf in shark's clothing . As a useable and very rapid luxury classic , for my mind it ticks all the boxes - which is precisely why I bought one! 911 - white wine 928 - red wine = completely different drinks, but from the same house of quality.
