turboT Posted 26May, 2015 Report Share Posted 26May, 2015 You really should have been around before longhoods took off. That was where the money was!yeah, and now I am joining the 'backdate crowd' and molesting original cars to get me a long hood.

tazzieman Posted 26May, 2015 Report Share Posted 26May, 2015 Be sure to contact me if you ever need lessons. If I sell my 944 (for a start) I will realise an eye wateringly large profit And the fully restored (all by me) Land Rover cost me $1 . Profits are made on the way in , as you well know!

Dreamr Posted 26May, 2015 Report Share Posted 26May, 2015 Well, not for sale anymore .... but a must read advert on carsales .... 1998 Porsche 996http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-911-Carrera-1998/SSE-AD-2905413/?Cr=125Have cut and pasted as the advert will be coming down soon .....The Ultimate Silver Bullet. NOW SOLDTo Kris, the new owner, well done mate, you deserve this amazing car. Thanks for being a straight up guy who did what he said he'd do. Have fun with this spectacular car on those twisty alpine roads.To the guys reading this now who've checked this page for the hundredth time and not called, don't procrastinate, take action when you like something, it won't be there for ever.To the guys who don't yet have a Porsche and are thinking about getting your first one, stop thinking about it and do it already... you won't regret it. Life is short, you need a Porsche in your life, especially a 911 (or a Cayman)To the guy who came and test drove my car, crunched my gearbox, tried to invent a dent on my perfect paint, then told me my rims weren't original (der) so he wasn't interested (after discussing the $5000 deep dish aftermarket rims with him on the phone first), you truly are a wally. It feels better saying that, I hope you're still checking the ad.Mr "Still arranging finance after 6 months", get that sh*t sorted first before stringing people along for months, saying you're buying it, saying you putting a deposit through, then not returning calls. Surprised you emailed me again last week... seriously? That also feels better saying that.To the ex president of Porsche club WA who came by to check out my car a month ago, and told me "its the best 996 Carrera in Perth by far and a steal at that price", thanks for the compliment, I hope your son gets his first 911 soon and its a shame you didn't take action quickly, because I would have loved to keep the bullet in Perth.And to the current "El Pres" who would regular send me funny enquiries on my carsales ad every week (no joke) you are a legend, a super funny dude, and the Bullet will never likely have another running mate like your previous Targa 4S. Amazing times.I will pull this ad down in the next couple of days if Carsales doesn't ban me first. I hope some of you get a laugh out of my Carsales experience with the Silver BulletI will miss this car terribly. What a legend it was!

Coastr Posted 26May, 2015 Report Share Posted 26May, 2015 You asked. Hopefully I have now proved myself as an irresponsible driver who intends to enjoy his cars not lock them up, but as far as car ownership goes and value for money a well bought air cooled makes a lot of sense.I advise you to look into a nifty little program called SnagitIt hurts my brain to see screen sharing this way.

tazzieman Posted 26May, 2015 Report Share Posted 26May, 2015 Need to factor in new tyres above, these cars need new tyres every 3-4 years. Well that's the standard to which I maintain them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of this quote on stock markets: One of the funny things about the stock market is that every time one person buys, another sells, and both think they are astute. william feather In this market for P cars we won't know until some time who is the astute one.
