ANF Posted 15March, 2015 Report Share Posted 15March, 2015 Adam,I don't mind the earlier ones too but I think it would be best to buy the best condition for the price irrespective of year.The cheap dealer one looks a can of worms to me.This one is still my pick: http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-928-1990/SSE-AD-3195943/?Cr=11It been for sale for a while too and suggest the owner may be ready to talk turkey.As for 928 prices firming, I haven't noticed and still think it's a buyers market despite Tazzie's superhuman efforts of promotion.I still like the earlier S 4.7 and S3 5.0 and when everything is aligned that will be what I look for. From when I was serious about buying one 2 1/2 years ago (before shit did happen) to now, prices (well advertised prices) have risen - not by much but a couple/ few thousand (hard to accurately judge as all cars condition is different). I better get in quickish before they really take off..... Better keep talking them down Tazzie Peter M 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANF Posted 16March, 2015 Report Share Posted 16March, 2015 A 968 for $15K? Yes it's an auto, of course, and you don't bother to wash it when you're asking only $15K... or clean the interior... http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-968-1995/SSE-AD-3301858/?Cr=0Could be a nice daily driver, but why would you not clean it??

Coastr Posted 16March, 2015 Report Share Posted 16March, 2015 An unfinished project, all that is needed is a good cut and polish to bring this beautiful car back to life. AKA that'll buff right out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was in the market he would got a call from me. if it is a local car with matching numbers and if it had recent engine and gbox work and has good PPI and service history, its a bargain at this price, if not, it can become a money pit ..... considering engine and gbox rebuild at about $25k to $30k ... and there are few good cars around the $60k range 9++ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzieman Posted 16March, 2015 Report Share Posted 16March, 2015 In other words. AC engines are considered tired by 250-300,000 km and the purchaser should have contingencies for a big $ rebuild , or will be driving the car less and less to stave off the inevitable big bills (Ferrari syndrome!) or will be looking to find a 2nd hand (strong but less tired) unicorn . I suspect quite a few people get burnt in the emotional turmoil of buying into the brand. Chris-p and Fraz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 16March, 2015 Report Share Posted 16March, 2015 $30k for an engine/box rebuild sounds high! But as a worst case scenario, yes. You'd get most of the money back at sale time if it was done properly though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraz Posted 16March, 2015 Report Share Posted 16March, 2015 I have seen that Dark blue 928. Looks good in the pics but really ruff in person. Has dents in rear quarter and is loosing coolant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd get most of the money back at sale time if it was done properly though.Asked the question of Cost at Autohaus the other day. About $12K for 'half' an engine (top), $20K for full, and ends up being around $30k if you also throw in the G-box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazzieman Posted 16March, 2015 Report Share Posted 16March, 2015 Does look nice, agree the Carrera sticker does not suit! Just a general question , posting pictures of the owners manual including previous owners and their addresses , is there any breach of privacy issue , or not? I can't see it adds anything to the ad.
