FAP911 Posted 11May, 2016 Report Share Posted 11May, 2016 An interesting personal perspective Smit. TBH I think the pricing on this car is somewhat speculative given the ultra low km traveled, and I have no doubt the condition also is reflective of this. Having said this, in the UK where I live 996's are seeing a real surge in value right now, and buyers seem to be willing to pay big $$$ for cars that have obviously lived in cotton wool. You may be right in saying that low km cars 'can' have issues just like other cars, but low km's are still the best indicator of overall condition (sure parts wear when sitting still - but they wear faster when in use). I personally would buy a car with 10,000kms over a similar car with 60,000kms everyday of the week, given all else is equal.You have to also appreciate that there are different Porsche buyers for different types of experiences. I know you have only driven one Porsche (your 996TT) but there are many thousands of owners and enthusiasts that would never own a blown 911 (me being one)! Porsche is well known for turbo engines, but they are even more famous for their naturally aspirated cars. They are all different driving experiences, and although a turbo provides a great surge of acceleration, it couldn't hope to deliver the same kind of visceral driving emotion of a GT3 (for example). The 911 legend was built on it's class leading agility, response and tactility, not just pure speed. I don't mean to play down your amazing car, but on the right road, in the right conditions, that 996 4S may be much more engaging, emotive and rewarding to certain people.I think the value of a car is more linked to the driving and ownership experience one is seeking and covets, rather than it's comparison to other models. The price of a mint 911SC isn't necessarily commensurate to the price of a 930 Turbo. It could in fact be more...Whether or not that particular car sells anywhere near the asking price... I guess the market will decide. Having just purchased a C4S ( as did Hughesy ) I've just fitted a pair of Dansk Super Sound's and much prefer the sound of the NA 996's over the TT - BUT Id love a TT for the performance - If that 34000KM TT from Canberra was still available I would have jumped at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very anemic in my opinion from the outside and in the cabin. So much so that the exhaust was replaced with less than 1 hour of driving time with the original setup. I just fitted a Kline X pipe 2.5" setup with HJS 100 cell cats with the stock X51 tips. Only drove it about 1 hour in total with the new exhaust setup, but very happy with the setup chosen and light and day difference from stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAP911 Posted 11May, 2016 Report Share Posted 11May, 2016 I actually love the side scoops as well on the TT - Compared to the G Series, 993, and 997 Turbos that offer the most phenomenal value in the Porsche lineageWhy haven't people woken up yet ?

Pretty sure he said the owner had knocked back $550k offer from Duttons so I assume the negotiation finally got to his selling price. You could call peter and ask if it's the same car he worked on.

SteamWolf Posted 12May, 2016 Report Share Posted 12May, 2016 Bit "o' normal corrosion. So you like the bumpers then?as normal as it is, 5 minutes with some auto sol and a cable tie would make a world of difference on this car. Also, as noted a $80 steering wheel from Repco to replace the $30 one from Supercheap.The bumpers? I have always preferred IB cars, so yes, I like them. A lot.
