tk111 Posted 13February, 2015 Report Share Posted 13February, 2015 If it's a "repairable" write off, yes you can. Indeed, a quick Google search has turned up a very interesting and convoluted process to get it done. But if your only paying $80k for a GT2 then I supose you can afford the "time and money" to get it legal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But only if you chose the "cage delete" option. And which red (or blue) blooded GT2 owner would do THAT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugh Posted 13February, 2015 Report Share Posted 13February, 2015 Unfortunately I won't be able to do that as I'm just not in the market ..... Which part do you think I'm dreaming about? The renovation cost or the finished sell price? .... I'm happy to listen to those that know more and to different strategies ...... If your after a project to build a hot rod then this could be a good base. That said 'hot rod' 911's have a smaller market appeal and don't tend to fetch the same dollars as their OEM siblings, it's not going to go backwards though so you may break even or make a couple of bucks if someone really digs your taste in mods. But I don't see this car as being a prime fixer upper candidate, it's just not that material IMO. I always tend to work backwards, if say this car was 100% OEM and perfect I'd say top dollar would be somewhere around 40k. You could spend 15-20k in a heartbeat on a car like this and still come up quite short of perfection if you were looking to flip it for good money in the short term. Long term, who knows as 911 values increase not doubt cars like this will drag up (this car would have been a sub 20k not that long ago) so if your after a 'cheap' base sure but I don't see it as being short term 'investment' car. A bit of a tangent.......... I watched a documentary last night on stray dogs in the US. You can see in an instant how damaged these dogs are at a quick glance and know that a lot (or most) of that damage is unrepairable, that's what I see when I look at this car - maybe it's because it's brown (ha!) but it has all the tell tale signs of being mistreated by its owners. Again, most 911's for that money will be 'damaged' so it's up to how brave you are for you to put a price on it! I've seen plenty of people broken (& broke) trying to make money flipping 911's, it's all about the donor. Dreamr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd make a hell of a track hack though.. That's why I posted it. Seller quotes it as a repairable write off....

Unless you: A) grow some dread locks B ) shop for clothes at the OP shop for that true Rock n roll look C) put different coloured panels on it D) make indie car video that goes viral ^^ = profit JV911, tk111 and ByronBayChris 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonoz Posted 13February, 2015 Report Share Posted 13February, 2015 Repaired write off GT2, $80khttp://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=271774225738 This looks like my old GT2. If anyone here is seriously going to buy it, then pm me the chassis number and Ill give you some information and photos that might help you decide. Ive also got the original books and keys. It crashes well. LeeM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Posted 13February, 2015 Report Share Posted 13February, 2015 I've seen the aftermath of your crashed GT2 - I wouldn't be paying $80k for it. Might be ok as a track pig but I would have thought there are much cheaper starting points if condition and road reg is not important. Forget about it as a road car. I'm surprised it could be classified a repairable write off. It was pretty banged up. Hardly looks well done and cared for either - dusty and dirty and sitting in a garage unfinished for 3 years.

Who wouldn't want to snag a 'urban barn find' bargain GT2 (scotty can't have all the luck) ...without comment on this car BEFORE OR AFTER the repairs, I I would think there are a number of oz companies able to take a high value repairable write off back to OEM spec...or better.

Carrera86 Posted 14February, 2015 Report Share Posted 14February, 2015 I thought i had found and was keen on buying a 996 TT but found out it has had $14000 insurance claim ,owner said it was a scratch down the side ? Must admit this has put me off a bit ...... what would members say when you want to sell it down the track ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel Posted 14February, 2015 Report Share Posted 14February, 2015 Is it impeccably repaired? Doesn't strike me as a deal breaker What's it worth when you sell it? To make sense of that Q You'd need to factor in potential damage occurring under your pilotage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must admit this has put me off a bit ...... what would members say when you want to sell it down the track ? $14,000 is not THAT much relatively speaking. Perhaps they did a partial repaint ? Seeing the before pics would be good - just make sure you buy cheap and, in turn, sell cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonoz Posted 14February, 2015 Report Share Posted 14February, 2015 Mine isn't the only GT2 that met a ghastly end, that's why I made the offer to privately send the chassis number so I can be sure before commenting. I'm not going to say anymore regarding this car or post any photos but my offer to help a serious PFA'er stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must admit this has put me off a bit ...... what would members say when you want to sell it down the track ? I was driving a golf mkiv at slow speed when a guy in a commodore decided to pull out of a parking space without checking. Scraped down the side of the car. Front guard, two doors and rear guard damage, plus one destroyed wheel cover. Total repair cost $6500. Lots of trim parts Damaged and lots of panels to paint. $14000 on a porsche seems easy to add up. Just find out how bad it was and knock the price down a bit. It won't affect the way the car drives one bit. Red911 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

withers Posted 14February, 2015 Report Share Posted 14February, 2015 Has anyone looked at this 964 Cab? Its been on the market a long long time, price not changing. Advert very light on on info but doesn't mean its a lemon. http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-911-Carrera-1990/SSE-AD-935000/?Cr=29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tit Posted 14February, 2015 Report Share Posted 14February, 2015 That's crazy. I was watching a Matt Farrah video this morning where he test drove a 996 that cost the owner USD$9800!!!! He was saying the car was tight, neat and drove well. That's a ridiculous bargain..

It's a lot of km and many people would be put off by that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
withers Posted 14February, 2015 Report Share Posted 14February, 2015 How about this 996 Cab with a recently rebuilt engine? I wonder if that rebuild was related to an IMS issue? hmm interesting http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-911-Carrera-1999/SSE-AD-3021043/?Cr=15 Could be a good buy if all was done with upgraded parts and done right.
