smit2100 Posted 10May, 2016 Report Share Posted 10May, 2016 (edited) Cobalt Blue personal import 997TT on gumtree http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/coburg-north/cars-vans-utes/2007-porsch-911-turbo-6spd-man/1112080027Pretty close to being on the money on that one in terms of what it sold for, eg a $13Xk number. I posted something on this a few months back as well, eg someone thought they could make a quick buck and much better return than any blue chip stock but a would assume that the interest cost is starting to erode a little bit of the expected profit. A few on here called me a procrastinator after my first post and I thought what the F$%$, given a couple of weeks earlier, I essentially got off a plane after travelling for nearly 24 hours, but I was suffering a bit a jet lag and dropped off upright on the couch about 10.30pm and woke about three hours later and thought I'll check my emails to find an email from off symsy (who forwarded me one of his alerts / or was in one of his look and see whats on offer late at night jaunts), From Symsy's car sales link, within 30 seconds of seeing a blue car pop up on seeing 997 turbo manual, with 33 ish km and 129,995 with tune and exhaust, I hit the seller contact box and was double index finger texting (bit late to call at 11.30pm to Gold Coast) an offer to buy it at the advertised price ($129,995). Before I went to bed, I was thinking what a great early Christmas present (eg not much was selling straight away) if I could land that, but woke up at 6.00am to find a text to say thanks for your offer, I have had lots of offers since last night, but sold it shortly after the ad went on car sales and I'll let you know if the sale falls through. Eg Someone a lot smarter than me beat me (I'm blaming the jet lag) to it and I forgot that not many buy Porsches sell at their initial advertised prices and I didn't even consider to put in an OVER offer. So car sales said sold at $139,950 and the seller said someone offered more than what he had asked.If someone is interested in it, PM with your email; address me as I have a screen shot of the original car sales ad tfrom the actual personal imported so you can see the extent of the colour added based on the current ad.

LeeM Posted 10May, 2016 Report Share Posted 10May, 2016 That front bumper is hideous! I wasn't that keen on driving the 912 being as it was LHD, and always thought I'd hate it and never get used to it. Having driven it a few times now, its just quirky but you do get used to it pretty quickly, and you stop trying to change gears with the window winder TrevMcRev, MFX, turboT and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 10May, 2016 Report Share Posted 10May, 2016 When the day comes to advertise my car I will make no apology or plea to make people accept LHD. It is what it is. Some people are scared of it and they will never buy one. Others have already come to terms with it. No point in trying to convince because. Minds get made up hard on this subject.i have given plenty of people a drive and every single person has managed it without issue.

tazzieman Posted 10May, 2016 Report Share Posted 10May, 2016 Pure evil , and extra concentrated. A stealthmobile if ever there was. You would get plenty of attention at any classics show , especially if you did the Sandman treatment on the interior. Which would we a travesty as they would make the perfect tradie car and of course no one would question you parking in a disabled spot.
