tazzieman Posted 18March, 2015 Report Share Posted 18March, 2015 Seats, mirrors, windows and maybe central locking. Hilarious! I've got the partial delete option on some of my Porsches I guess. I've got a built in seat heater which I carry from car to car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozvino Posted 18March, 2015 Report Share Posted 18March, 2015 Shitbox (can I say that ?) 3.2 condition wise in the 30's that probably needs $15-20k minimum spent on it between paint and mechanicals and people are in a frenzy bidding for it.....or that 2006 Cayman S for $54k.......let me think for a nanosecond I love P cars especially the old slow ones but this is crazy. So much better value in either modern far more powerful and comfortable P cars or dare I say it other marques.... I know they aren't making anymore of them but you could say the same about Leyland Marina's or Hillman Imps.... Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong - your 930 is beautiful and I love 3.2's, I was talking more about the fighting over the scraps that seems to be going on....

It does seem crazy, but i guess the reality is that a good 3.2 is worth $70K + so a shit box at $30k still has potential even if you have to throw money at it. On the other side it is nice to own something that appreciates over time. My new (ish) 997 TT loses $30-40K (at least) in value every year. That hurts...

tazzieman Posted 18March, 2015 Report Share Posted 18March, 2015 These old bangers provide huge entertainment for the lager lads who race them. Which is quite amusing , because this is not quite what the maker intended. The Imps were surprisingly advanced for their time , even compared to the Professor's sports beetle of the era. I digress , slightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

9++ Posted 18March, 2015 Report Share Posted 18March, 2015 In ur opinion 9+ has it been stacked or just rough and neglected? Both...agree will take lots of $$$ to get it up to speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugh Posted 18March, 2015 Report Share Posted 18March, 2015 12k long hoods and 27k 3.2's all in the matter of a few days? Only natural that the lawyers have been called in to make sense of it all. I look forward to them both being re-listed shortly at largely inflated prices to restore the balance! turboT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraz Posted 18March, 2015 Report Share Posted 18March, 2015 I am with you Dave. I just can't get my head around paying top dollar (in my mind) for some puss box that still needs more spent on it. I just want to drive it and enjoy. Found myself looking at this tonight. http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-968-1993/SSE-AD-2442878 Ozvino 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian Posted 18March, 2015 Report Share Posted 18March, 2015 Hillman Imp - Made In Scotland At 3.09 a reference to the closing of the factory where the Imp was made "Linwood no more" . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamr Posted 18March, 2015 Report Share Posted 18March, 2015 I am with you Dave. I just can't get my head around paying top dollar (in my mind) for some puss box that still needs more spent on it.Without seeming argumentative, and not entering the whole ethical selling tecnicque of the seller, I wouldn't write off the 3.2.Even if you paid $35k and spent another $30k (over time) you would not only be ahead, but would have a car that is going to gain, be more collectible / sort after, and put a much bigger smile on your face every time you drove it ....While I take on board your previous comments about wanting something to drive and enjoy, this one certainly shouldn't be written off.

Tit Posted 18March, 2015 Report Share Posted 18March, 2015 He flew to Melbourne (I think) to inspect it. He said the owner flogged the car pretty hard during the test drive and didn't get a good 'vibe'. I also spoke to that owner. He seemed to know his stuff. 964 C4 for $78,900: http://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/Porsche-911-Carrera-1990/OAG-AD-959254/?Cr=33 Is this the one that was for sale about 18 months ago that Hepcat upset the owner with an assessment of its condition at the time? Don't mind the colour combination at all. Just need to remove the side sticker though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzieman Posted 18March, 2015 Report Share Posted 18March, 2015 I am pretty sure we had one when I was a kid. I can't remember the word 'advanced' being slipped into to any conversation though? When the AC 911s were being driven around the 'hood by their new proud owners , I doubt the word "quirky" was ever used either. Imagine the dealer explaining the heating system , or perhaps trying to explain away its failings. (if you don't live in a cold clime it wouldn't have mattered though , but you'd be left wondering why you couldn't get cool in summer). Nah, the Imp was visionary!
