hugh Posted 7March, 2014 Report Share Posted 7March, 2014 how cheap do you think it would have to be to make it worth the punt? Depends on how much your prepared to take on. Its definitely got potential, I'm not brave enough though unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coastr Posted 7March, 2014 Report Share Posted 7March, 2014 Are the issues oily, rusty or dusty? I like the look of it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel Posted 7March, 2014 Report Share Posted 7March, 2014 Are the issues oily, rusty or dusty? I like the look of it as well. D. Probably all of the above good pricing helps a sale. Though a recent thread compared this car against a blue oz delivered car. Similar pricing, blue car after a long run of forum chatter sold to a very appy chappy hugh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel Posted 7March, 2014 Report Share Posted 7March, 2014 Another one that has been sitting for a while? Probably sit awhile longer till people realise the value in a 914. While on the high side $ the current owner is fastidious with his cars, judging by his last 356 and a more recent purchase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

withers Posted 7March, 2014 Report Share Posted 7March, 2014 There's just something so incredibly appealing about these cars to me... love the cookie cutters, needs what looks like a good bit of TLC.. paint a bit fadey, price a bit exxy but still... click here what can I say, they just do it for me! Funny brake light action at the back too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
withers Posted 8March, 2014 Report Share Posted 8March, 2014 The cheapest 996 yet at just $23,990???? http://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/Porsche-911-Carrera-1998/AGC-AD-15469506/?Cr=64&sdmvc=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't imagine it will last long, has a lot of appeal to someone on the hunt for a newish 911 on a budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugh Posted 8March, 2014 Report Share Posted 8March, 2014 I'd say 40k is a stretch for that SC, lack of interior shots always worries me. Give him a call in 6 months Amanda and offer him 30k based on an ok PPI! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give him a call in 6 months Amanda and offer him 30k based on an ok PPI! 40k is Coupe money. That's what RSR wanted for the black SC, I drove that car and it was gorgeous. Pfft I wouldn't pay $30k for it either Hugh... I'd pony up a bit more and get the Lorbeks 993 Cab with the 303k on the clock. Serviced every 13,000km that car has and it looks brilliant in the pics! hugh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike D'Silva Posted 8March, 2014 Report Share Posted 8March, 2014 is that 993 cab still available? I might be in the minority, but I really like targas.. especially old ones.. like this one on carsales.... http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/_/SSE-AD-2499524 It's been on the market for a while.. but what's the general consensus for something like this? ex usa.. (supposedly dry and rust free) converted to rhd non matching engine from a E model What's with the webers? Is that a good or bad thing?? By the way, my partner says she doesn't like targas and they are at the bottom of the list for her.. so I guess I won't be an owner any time soon...

withers Posted 8March, 2014 Report Share Posted 8March, 2014 As you know Mike, I LOVE Targas. I think that one you've posted is gorgeous. I'd say give the owner a call and speak to them. At this price range, age of vehicle, the fact it's a Targa (and therefore less popular) you'd have to rate the car on it's condition now.. and go from there price wise, to work out if it's over priced. It doesn't seem like a silly price to me (and my 2 years of watching the market daily - so take that with a grain of salt) PPI will show issues as you know.. if you like the car make an offer knowing it's been around awhile, if you don't ask you don't get. I think this car and your 987 would make a lovely garaged couple of Porsches EDIT: I wonder what is under those sheepskin covers - I could see this car with houndstooth inserts and a prototipo style steering wheel!

Coastr Posted 8March, 2014 Report Share Posted 8March, 2014 I like the red targa. pity about the non matching engine. Converted RHD drops price now, but give it another 10years and it will be worth converting back to LHD in a general resto. I only like the chrome bar targas.

Russ Posted 9March, 2014 Report Share Posted 9March, 2014 you can make any targa a 'chrome bar targa' - the targa bar is stainless so just strip the paint off and polish wonder how you'd go finding the original engine? I'd still buy it! but i'm always worried about rust in earlier cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think once you get into the '80s Carreras the black looks better. Original engine - jeepers, that sounds like quite the hunt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted 9March, 2014 Report Share Posted 9March, 2014 I've seen it happen on a forum before, and I think magnus got his original engine for one of his cars back withers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
withers Posted 9March, 2014 Report Share Posted 9March, 2014 Thats super cool Russ. I suppose the P market here is small enough that if the engine is just sitting somewhere, that it might be traceable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
