symsy Posted 19October, 2015 Report Share Posted 19October, 2015 Hard to tell Symsy. On the other side is it a price correction to an extent? Have they been cheap for too long?I’m going to list my car in a few months to scratch my build a AC Cobra from umm well scratch itch, so I can ask 150k right?? I guess it all comes down to how you feel when that garage door goes up and the smiles it brings.. For me having now owned quite a few cars , I guess I have a limit. I ven have a limit on what I own now 993TT 300k - many reasons to have one but not at that price. They just aint that spesh.. the same can be said of many of the AC cars. I like the chase, sometimes the build, definately the drive and really on the most basic level not to lose money..making money .. well thats nice but really if I can buy and sell in the same market without a stretch and change into what I whilst geting my caring ownership valued it all seems ok . I reckon there is a whole book of counselling and philopshy on the buying and selling cars out there ..waiting to be written.Having been out driving the MK1 Escort most of the weekend , consuming as much fuel as the 993TT with the webers always roaring, I reckon its got that same petrol head healing qualities… with your build background I can only imagine a monster of mass consumption and extreme tarmac terrorism qualities to emerge GUT, BlitzKonig and clutch-monkey 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Posted 19October, 2015 Report Share Posted 19October, 2015 I’ll still own a Porsche, it will just have water in it that’s all. Well, I say that now but if I achieve my 2:1 power to weight ratio I’ll prolly struggle to part with it. In the last 61 cars I’ve owned I’ve lost money on 2 but I knew that going in so maybe I should write that book! LOL I just had a quick think about it. The damn book is only about 25 pages long. I’ve spent too long making it a conserve and not a soup! Anyone know a good ghost writer? ByronBayChris and symsy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i had to get back into aircooled stuff i'd see myself doing it to build a 910 rep.

Dreamr Posted 20October, 2015 Report Share Posted 20October, 2015 Good flip. Car came out of NT 12 months ago for ... well let's say a lot less than asking. It's got to be sold first for it to be a good flip .....I can see it sitting for quite a while at that price .... it's too pricey! ...... LHD, non matching numbers and a targa ... Now, if it had been owned by Steve McQueen, that would be different! symsy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coastr Posted 20October, 2015 Report Share Posted 20October, 2015 Crikey. Mine has 30k less km on than that one and must be one of the first G series cars sold in Oz (built Jan 87). Must make it worth $100k technically a g-series is from 74 to 89. I think you meant one of the first g50 cars. /pedantry Mike-S 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
