red clubbie Posted 25February, 2016 Report Share Posted 25February, 2016 (edited) Just got a 'Porsche Edm' from classic throttle shop suggesting they have a very low km silver 85 930 on the way. Nothing on their website but might be worth giving them a call if you are interested in setting a new AUSTRALIAN record (and increasing the value of mine at the same time...it read This rarest example is the best we have ever seen. Representing the last model year the 930 Type 911 Turbo was sold in Australia, the 1985 model has covered just 23,000kms and finished in Silver Metallic with Colour to Sample interior & Sports Seats.I know the Owner of this car and it lasted three days before a sale was made. It didn't even make the Website.Full asking price was agreed.Cheers,Geoff. Edited 25February, 2016 by red clubbie turboT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ByronBayChris Posted 25February, 2016 Report Share Posted 25February, 2016 $35k price drop on this babyhttp://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/Porsche-911-Carrera-1990/OAG-AD-12221324/?Cr=1 So, in reality, this is a 964 C4 manual which has had an engine rebuild. $100k for that ($75 if you ask Troy....to $130 if you ask Tom). Let's settle on $100,000 for the same car.So, by adding a few panels, changing the wheels the value of this car goes UP $100,000 ?What am I missing........perhaps I WILL backdate my 993. I could spend $30,000 on the panels and make $60,000 profit. T-Man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red clubbie Posted 25February, 2016 Report Share Posted 25February, 2016 Do we know what was the asking price?Yes I know what it was, but as I'm not the Owner, it's not really my place to say what it was on the Forum.The purchaser made an offer which was rejected, so the purchaser then agreed to the full asking price.If you're interested, PM me.I was involved in the purchase when the seller bought the car out of Melbourne.It was a special order exterior colour and special order interior colour.It would have been a very expensive car in it's day.Cheers,Geoff. turboT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the price of donor cars and if you are mechanically incompitant like me, $150k is a good price.the issue is reselling a backdate cos everything I have looked is not quite to my taste and that's probably why they are harder to shift.

turboT Posted 25February, 2016 Report Share Posted 25February, 2016 You guys are tripping ... enough with the conspiracy theories already.Tell me why would someone who has been trying to buy a 930 for a year in a red hot market and saw the CTS edm for the silver 930 sit and wait for it to officially appear on the website before making a play?What's so implausible about someone with big balls and a wallet to match calling up and offering a deposit sight unseen based on their description?It happens all the time on carsale with utter shitboxes thousands of kilometres away, let alone a mint 23,000klm, last year, silver 930 from a reputable dealer.Quick or the dead.And besides, who cares anyway??If you have a P car it's pushing the price up so you actually owe them a beer ...If you don't have one, then clearly you're not playing hard or fast enough to deserve one.And don't give me some whine about ethics ... all's fair in love and war. well I know you been looking.....so....did u get it ???

AH don't presell their cars. They email their clients on this "email list" telling them they are about to list the car on the web site. Obviously, none of these people on the email list respond - they just wait until the website ad is up and then quickly buy it then. Makes sense to me. </sarcasm> Dreamr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJM Posted 25February, 2016 Report Share Posted 25February, 2016 @DJM This 968 looks like it could be a bit of cheap fun!http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/moonta-bay/cars-vans-utes/1992-porsche-968/1105236472?ea=5975478&utm_source=trigger&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=saved_search good idea. Buy it for $30k, throw some hard back seats and suspension at it and you've pretty much got a CS for $35k rather than $80k! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sale for PFA members first for just $195,000. Must be more if it had the third pedal What am I missing........perhaps I WILL backdate my 993. I could spend $30,000 on the panels and make $60,000 profit. Well, for one having a proper full glass out, bare metal respray - if no filler, bog, etc. is found, you will need to spend $20k-30k. All of this is on top of the costs of obtaining the steel panels, windows, fibreglass bumpers, wheels, interior, exhaust, labour... I'd say you want a GOOD backdate you're looking at 60K+ alone.

Hughesy Posted 25February, 2016 Report Share Posted 25February, 2016 (edited) BBC the front end look unfinished on that. The interruption to the bumpers horizontal line overly detracts from the aesthetics IMOIT DOES LOOK GREAT OTHERWISE. SYMSY would have a much wiser vision than me though. The force is strong with that one. Edited 25February, 2016 by Hughesy TYPO symsy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
