Peter M Posted 3April, 2015 Report Share Posted 3April, 2015 http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-911-Carrera-1996/SSE-AD-3044365I've ogled that one every time the owner puts it up for sale which would be about 3 times in the last 2 years. He seems to advertise for a few months then pulls it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Man Posted 3April, 2015 Report Share Posted 3April, 2015 I've ogled that one every time the owner puts it up for sale which would be about 3 times in the last 2 years. He seems to advertise for a few months then pulls it down. Looks like the seller forgot to change the details from the last add. Now has 122,000 for $78K. "Seller's Comment Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe with varioram 3.6.engine. Last of the aircooled. 118000 km.

With that sort of price increase for four thousand kilometres, he should have driven 8000 more and put the price to mid 80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
withers Posted 3April, 2015 Report Share Posted 3April, 2015 Buy 2 for that price! You might need two, says it has 'engine problems' and we all know what that can potentially be! If IMS, then its not even worth $8000 IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mqc993 Posted 3April, 2015 Report Share Posted 3April, 2015 Fyi anyone interested. I offered to buy the black 993 in WA sight unseen late last night and never heard back from the seller until early this morning. A local guy in WA went and saw the car last night...and pending final payment, bought the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter M Posted 3April, 2015 Report Share Posted 3April, 2015 Never mind, yours will turn up soon mqc.Might be worth a phone call to owner of the silver one. You never know he may want to sell this time round! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mqc993 Posted 3April, 2015 Report Share Posted 3April, 2015 Gutted...i was so nervous making the decision to buy without seeing, but honestly as mentioned the seller was more than patient and oblidging in giving me what I needed to make my decision. If I were him and met someone face to face I guess I would go with what would seem an easier transaction. Best of luck to the new owner!

ByronBayChris even bought his from the USA through emails alone.As someone suggested earlier, as long as you do as much due dilligence as is possible from the comfort of your computer and phone, you should be ok ..... calling the servicing mechanic, looking at as many photos as possible, and most importantly, getting a "gut feel" from the owner. Also, there are forum members that would be only too happy to check out a prospective buy for you.There is always a risk buying sight unseen, just do what you can to minimise them ....

mqc993 Posted 3April, 2015 Report Share Posted 3April, 2015 You're right. Although I dont know anyone personally in this forum, reggiegums offered his services for a viewing and report on my behalf and I must say I am extremely grateful. I too will happily offer my time when possible for PFA members if required in Sydney...40 odd cars in roughly the same years on earth (only two 993's) hopefully I could be useful to somebody for the same reasons reggiegums offered his/her time.

JV911 Posted 4April, 2015 Report Share Posted 4April, 2015 I had small spot on the rear window rubber and another small spot on the front. I have been told it is apparently quite nornal in those places. Correct. 964s tooand pending final payment, bought the car.

TINGY Posted 4April, 2015 Report Share Posted 4April, 2015 Got to go with your gut feel mqc993, you will be right 9 times out of 10. Bad luck missing out on the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
withers Posted 4April, 2015 Report Share Posted 4April, 2015 mqc993 - the seller sounds like the perfect type of guy to buy off if you are doing the sight unseen thing. You have to trust them and if you get good vibes, then the car should also be full of good vibes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
npvpositive Posted 4April, 2015 Report Share Posted 4April, 2015 Anyone happen to know anything this Gen 2 Cayman S in Canberra?
