MFX Posted 14February, 2015 Report Share Posted 14February, 2015 Don't know if this has been discussed.http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-911-Carrera-2000/SSE-AD-2795595/?Cr=0 That car has been on the market for several months now at least. I am pretty sure he wanted mid 40's when it first went up. Kms are what has held it back in the past, but I think now it is on the money.

Certainly would be cheap entry to porsche-dom Almost seems too cheap, particularly for a manual coupe even with high kms. Would have thought closer to 40. I've read on some other sites that air kits on the 996 like the Evom can reduce the lifetime of the engine so I wonder how long it's been on there for. Correct me if I'm wrong.

BBC Posted 15February, 2015 Report Share Posted 15February, 2015 Hi Everyone, I am new to this forum. Been enjoying reading your posts a lot. I am looking for an air-cooled 911 coupe. Has anyone dealt with this dealer in Melbourne before? Doesn't sound like they are Porsche specialists. http://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/Porsche-911-Carrera-1994/OAG-AD-829506/?Cr=3 It reads like some work has gone into this car but the ad is missing vital photos of the interior and engine bay. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. I don't know this dealer and guess they aren't Porsche specialist, but Weltmeister (who did the $14k work they talk about) are one of Melbourne's best know independent Porsche specialists, maybe they might be able to give you more details on what they know of the car?

BBC Posted 16February, 2015 Report Share Posted 16February, 2015 Thanks Scott and Chris, I called Weltmeister and things seem to check out. Who would you recommend for a PPI in Melbourne? I didn't realise the ad has gone stale already. I wonder if it is a price or condition problem or may be because it is a tip. Has anyone in Melbourne seen it in person? Hi ByronBayChris, I should have added some random numbers to my initials. Did't think. There seems to be no easy way to change my user name under my profile, once registered. Maybe the administrator can help changing my user name so as to avoid potential confusion down the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugh Posted 16February, 2015 Report Share Posted 16February, 2015 If Weltmeister have previously done the work on the car I would recommend you use someone else. Try these guys; http://harrisonsrrr.com/ BBC and Mike737 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks.Nice looking car! Some say that a midnight blue 993 is the height of good taste in motoring circles.It is interesting that the engine "rebuild" they describe is actually just an engine drop, the replacement of some seals and a decoke.Talking to Weltmeisters and getting a PPI will set you up nicely to make them an informed offer lower than their asking price.Good luck!Peter BBC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coastr Posted 16February, 2015 Report Share Posted 16February, 2015 It's a nice looking 993, I'm very partial to dark blue metallics. I knew that $14k was not a rebuild on a 993 engine at workshop rates, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBC Posted 16February, 2015 Report Share Posted 16February, 2015 The dealer's name is: Melbourne Motor Company. They are sending me photos of the interior and engine bay for the 993. Has anyone dealt with this company? A quick google search on customer satisfaction turned up nothing. They sell used European cars. Since a seller almost always has information advantage over a buyer, I am quite particular about dealing only with really honest people as I will almost certainly lose otherwise.

Coastr Posted 16February, 2015 Report Share Posted 16February, 2015 The key to that is the PPI - then you've got more facts than the dealer - but you have to pay for them. Marvin55 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
