turboT Posted 18January, 2016 Report Share Posted 18January, 2016 looks a lot of car for the money. The high kms and import status will make it a complete arse to sell on though. I think an Australian delivered 04 or 05 997 s could be found for a few more dollars. I had an 05 carrera S which I loved. Great cars and as reliable as granite underpants. a friend picked up an 06 997s a few months back for $95k (aussi car) with less than 60,000kms. A really great looking car. Well worth the few extra dollars. GC9911 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLD Posted 18January, 2016 Report Share Posted 18January, 2016 Has anyone looked at this: http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/cooroy/cars-vans-utes/1988-porsche-928-coupe/1100870619It's dropped from $15k to $13500 already.

Paint and seat though.....I have considered and he has dropped his price quickly, maybe a bit eager to sell?May get away with just one seat but more likely 2, say $2k? Rest of the interior looks good though. Plus paint and what ever else you find, if you can get cheap enough could be a good one?? He is selling a heap of 928 parts as well. There are a couple more S4s for sale out there, but why do just about all 928s for sale have such shitty photos in the ads!!?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you bought it, you would be getting it for a fair amount less than an Aus' car. You just have to factor in that when you sell it you will have to sell it cheaper too. It will always resell though, as you would have the benefit of being the cheapest 997 on the market. It is built in the same place, and as long as it is rust free you are getting the same car for a bargain, just because of a perception.

Anyone who'd let a seat bolster get like that and then advertise the car doesn't deserve a Porsche. Rest of the car is commensurately poor - if it looks that bad in photos, it's much worse in the flesh... KGB and ANF 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

911 Snake Posted 19January, 2016 Report Share Posted 19January, 2016 (edited) hi snake, i have watched this car, I think it's cheap mainly due to the Kim's on it. But having owned a 997 I think they are a great car. It looks clean but until you eyeball it in the flesh you never know. I had a very quick look at it the other day, but it was in an indoor car park with poor light so wasn't able to judge the paintwork. I also didn't drive it because I had my toddler with me. Exhaust sounds pretty good on startup (although my toddler said it was too loud and that I therefore should not buy it!). Interior looked ok and has extended leather. It is at Clayton Bespoke (http://www.claytonbespoke.com.au). They seemed ok and would probably send you more pictures if you wanted them. It was too many kilometres for my liking. On on the subject of 997s anyone know anything or have any views about this (including the price)? http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-911-Carrera-2007/SSE-AD-3663032/?Cr=20 Really appreciate the feedback on this one guys.I emailed the dealer and explained that I'm in Melbourne, so admittedly before I decided to book a flight up to view the car, I had a few questions about service intervals, import history and overall condition... certainly within my right to ask these question and expect some feedback. Unfortunately their reply didn't acknowledge a single question I had and simply stated:"I suggest you book a pre purchase inspection with Porsche South Sydney or State roads vehicle inspections." This left a very suspicious and sour taste in my mouth...so I've decided to walk away. Moving on! In Melbourne, Weltmeister have a Carrera with a couple of goodies. A bit of a higher price, but much lower Kms. Any one have any recommendations/thoughts or insight on this one? Looks clean so I may view on the weekend http://www.weltmeister.com.au/sales/detail/93/porsche/911.htmlcheers, Edited 19January, 2016 by 911 Snake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomo Posted 19January, 2016 Report Share Posted 19January, 2016 Correct Answer;"I suggest you book a pre purchase inspection with Porsche South Sydney or State roads vehicle inspections." He is a car dealer not a mechanic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
911 Snake Posted 19January, 2016 Report Share Posted 19January, 2016 (edited) Correct Answer;"I suggest you book a pre purchase inspection with Porsche South Sydney or State roads vehicle inspections." He is a car dealer not a mechanic That is true tomo, he's just a $alesman.However considering I'm a potential sale (customer), asking some basic questions from interstate and looking to spend money to fly up and visit the dealership... I would have thought a little more effort on the customer service front (I'm talking a simple email here) would have been appreciated. Certainly not asking him to pull the engine out for me and give me a full analysis.

Agree re the interior colour. Looks a bit cheap and is a bit much on a silver car. Assume yours is the black one in Centennial Park. Looks very nice, I just couldn't handle another black car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks very nice, I just couldn't handle another black carit is mate - i just didnt want to be flaunting around the advertising rules on here.i love the car, but renovations mean i am garageless for 6months and i cant do it a- to this car and b- to a black car!!I looked for 9 months or so and really only came across black ones that were to my level of comfort on km and condition.although that 07 997 GT3 is tempting....
