ByronBayChris Posted 12February, 2016 Report Share Posted 12February, 2016 @Claywong, How can you say it's great value? Your statement makes you sound like a used car salesman.It's a 4, so automatically drops in desirability.It has zero information on work undertaken, except to say regular oil changes.It has some great photos taken - sounds like the "photo" is good value.I don't know this car, I don't know the seller, I don't know 996. I don't know much at all.But I do know that any turd can be polished. How can you say, with what appears to be some level of sureness, that this car is good value? I'll go off and yelli at that cloud again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was the whole point of it... a thread where we share our thoughts on what's for sale and interesting in Australia.I think based on what is disclosed in the ad it could be good value and is certainly the first step to bother then checking for yourself. It definitely shows signs of a true enthusiast owner unlike many ads with crap tiny photo/s and no description.Provided it checks out mechanically and it's history is clean, to me or anyone that the modifications are to the taste of it would be good value.To do to my car whats been done to it would probably cost $20K so for maybe a $5K changeover to me it would be good value.Even if we started a thread called "Here are cars for sale with full PPI and Certificate of Authenticity" we could still argue it's merit... "Who did the PPI? They're not as good as X!" Could is a long way from Definitely though!

I would have said that the recent silver 930 from wa was definitely good value, as the car was known to us here. This car, and a lot of others here, are just ads.

tazzieman Posted 12February, 2016 Report Share Posted 12February, 2016 You would like to think a relatively modern Porsche has been cherished , even if a little thrashed at times. But I guess 996s are getting old now and some are akin to the village bike. The photos may belie what's under the skin. So the question that should pop up is "has it been cherished"?. Otherwise, gloves are off in the bargaining ring. It is now , I believe , a buyer's market for most used Porsches.

symsy Posted 12February, 2016 Report Share Posted 12February, 2016 Come on lets buy it, a grand each for the active members on this thread , cheaper than a set of PCCB & Tyres and most 930 engine rebuilds would be the loss at most , we could have it a week each and totally thrash the hell out of it and then sell it as a TWO owner car , the first owner and the PFA community.. what do you call that Porsche polygamy or just prostitution of Porsche.Either way a lot of car for a bit of money … its a Porsche after allShit heres another and its got a set of wheels we can give to ChrisCan you chaps review the copy on this , Im busy surfing http://www.carpoint.com.au/all-cars/private/details.aspx?R=SSE-AD-3833507&Cr=20 I know which one I would by with nearly 50k less KMS and nearly same price .. I will grab a spoiler of flea bay Ah just had to do an update after poppoing out to the garage , Chris talking of bent rims , if you can get a job lot re rolled , I got 8 in the garage , you could have the 4S ones and we could roll your guards out a bit and make that fresh car of yours a bit more gangsta, you can slap me down on Valentines day C+ C with your gold knuckle duster Rob, GUT and Brow 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
