wasserkuhl Posted 11October, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 11October, 2013 993, sheesh. Did you not notice the exhaust and that its orange? Yes, still looks wicked though. Not 85k wicked for a 2.7 IB though. thought it seemed reasonable, don't mind me............... No thats fine, please forgive my Rain Man-esque stats. This, looks far more value to me. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1988-Porsche-944-Turbo-/321225676839?pt=AU_Cars&hash=item4aca8ad827 Working A/C, 250Bhp, Superb Handling, astonishingly practical. I'd buy a 951 like this any day of the week. hugh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter M Posted 11October, 2013 Report Share Posted 11October, 2013 Who would choose an IB over a 993? Wass, I did as I got cold feet with the potential running/repair costs of a 993. Doesn't stop me wanting one though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasserkuhl Posted 12October, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 12October, 2013 Wass, I did as I got cold feet with the potential running/repair costs of a 993. Doesn't stop me wanting one though! OK well that is probably a good strategy! Although, I'd not expect the costs to be much higher than a C 3.2. Providing the cars are in the same mechanical condition to start with. 993 does pose some extra items that could be costly. I guess I would go for a 993(and will if I can get my early 911/912 fetish sorted out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Posted 12October, 2013 Report Share Posted 12October, 2013 don't see many of these around............ http://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/Porsche-911-Carrera-1985/AGC-AD-14512407/?Cr=20&sdmvc=1 There's one identical to this (genuine or not, not sure) lurking in a garage in Mornington. Owner backed it out coughing and spluttering recently and took off up the street. Looked pretty neat i hadn;t seen a CS in the flesh before.

I often see it driving down the Nepean, it may well be the same one? They are a sweet 911. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owner backed it out coughing and spluttering recently and took off up the street. Looked pretty neat i hadn;t seen a CS in the flesh before. I am pretty sure they weren't sold new in Oz, so the only way a genuine one could be brought in and registered is by Private import from the UK(RHD). I spotted one at the Adelaide Targa a couple of years back, it was a G50 car as well. I asked the driver if it was a real CS and he replied 'I dunno, does it make a difference?' Probably not. Except for the extra 50k its worth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
