turboT Posted 6August, 2015 Report Share Posted 6August, 2015 Sorry if already posted (I haven't read the whole thread)... While it's not a Porsche, it's very much part of the family (both in the VAG sense but also the Porsche involvement in the development of these. Note the brakes too!) and fits the "interesting" category pretty well I think!!http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/_/SSE-AD-2361605964 mirrors?? Cup wheels. Front blinkers also look familiar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monty188 Posted 6August, 2015 Report Share Posted 6August, 2015 Yesterday I went in to the panel shop across the road from my office to see the guy about fixing a little bit of rust. He has a red SC targa in there, which, as it turns out, is for sale. Red duco of a reasonable standard, with red upholstery, a tail, and what I think were cup wheels. Needs a little work. Don't know if it's Aust delivered or import / conversion. I didn't get any details, but if anyone is genuinely interested PM me and I'll ring him (not back in my office for a couple of weeks now) and see if he can put you in touch with the owner - out of courtesy for the business owner so he's not fielding calls about someone else's car.No connection to the car, owner, or panel shop.PM sent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coastr Posted 7August, 2015 Report Share Posted 7August, 2015 well, let's just be thankful for small mercies that the 350 didn't come out of the jag and into the back of the Porsche.$30k for a non-runner, non-rego'd LHD is a bit steep, I think. But then I don't know what a fair price would be. $20k? At that price you could do a lot of engine work and not go too far underwater, assuming $40k-ish is about the going rate for a good leftie here.

GUT Posted 7August, 2015 Report Share Posted 7August, 2015 That's a bit early for a top end rebuild isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomo Posted 7August, 2015 Report Share Posted 7August, 2015 (edited) Top end rebuild Might have been a Top end reseal. $109000, Does a driver come with that, Edited 7August, 2015 by tomo spelling Peter M 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 7August, 2015 Report Share Posted 7August, 2015 I thought it was common knowledge that the 964 engine was more demanding than the 'ol 3.2 it replaced. Issues like leaks and, well, leaks. Didn't they not have a head gasket or something?I guess it depends on how thick the oil was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter M Posted 7August, 2015 Report Share Posted 7August, 2015 (edited) DEPOSIT TAKEN - PLEASE NO ENQUIRIES UNTIL FURTHER NOTICEIs this the first $100k+ C3.2? As for bulletproof, surely the C3.2 engine would have to be Porsche's hardiest engine in their history? No, I didn't say leak proof... Dunno , but this statement should send a big shiver through all those newbie investors; these cars are not bulletproof say the pros.Now Tazzie, you're not starting to take the word of salemen's are you?

turboT Posted 7August, 2015 Report Share Posted 7August, 2015 DEPOSIT TAKEN - PLEASE NO ENQUIRIES UNTIL FURTHER NOTICEIs this the first $100k+ C3.2? might be right Pete. Certainly advertised. This was a good looking machine though and colour combo will always be popular. I am sure the engine rebuild was 'preventative' rather than truely needed. Makes sence if cars are getting good money and it helps dispel old car worries to get it sold with a warranty from the mechanic.

tazzieman Posted 7August, 2015 Report Share Posted 7August, 2015 Now Tazzie, you're not starting to take the word of salemen's are you?Do your own research before accepting the salesman's mechanic's advice you actually need a "top end refresh"!Or, trade up to a 928 , where 160,000km is regarded as "just run in" by those in the know And rebuilds generally don't happen unless the timing belt service is neglected (but only in the later models) Peter M 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsujack Posted 8August, 2015 Report Share Posted 8August, 2015 Why hasn't this Zag build sold yet? Looks amazing and priced well too.
