hugh Posted 17June, 2016 Report Share Posted 17June, 2016 Suspect we were all either speed dialling ( including me) , and felt too furtive/guilty to post our findings here or maybe we were right royally jacked by mr fingers ... Cue turbo there could quite well be some truth to this, I've definitely been guilty of it in the past. Word on the street, said 74 Carrera Targa is missing compliance plate, books, etc Maybe the owner was trying to create an auction frenzy all along so people wouldn't do their proper checks? Saw it coming a mile away.......Stems from my jaded gumtree experiences. Not sold. Dutch auction running, but most likely soon to appear on ebay.No surprises there, will be watching how it plays out with interest. You know what they say, "if it's too good to be true......."

smit2100 Posted 17June, 2016 Report Share Posted 17June, 2016 (edited) Something that continues to amaze me is people not bothering to make a decent ad with decent photos,....??!! http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/adelaide-cbd/cars-vans-utes/porsche-928s4-t-bar-auto-5lt-v8/1115801863"All serious buyers should make me an offer" well go on then Anyone having trouble with carsales of late? I cannot get into their website and have had a few issues over the past couple of days? Just to balance the ledger, in terms of decent ad photo's, note below linkhttp://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/SSE-AD-2173864?WT.seg_4=PriceAlert&wt.z_driver=Email_PriceAlertYou may be on to something. Note the link appears to be shades of a winter campaign #1 based on a suite of new pics. If you trawl about 150 pages back on this thread (ala 6 plus months ago ), you might find this same car under its summer campaign #1 along with some associated sunstroke induced hysteria commentary. The main photo in this newly invigorated campaign is definitely an improvement (sloped on the angle of a hill could be channeling a little insight into its history). However, I expected to see a bit less Blue Sky in the background along with the campaign equaling all time high blue sky pricing second time around. Circa 139k seems to be common number now daysYes, can I attest to having carsales trouble / issues as of late, but mainly concentrated around the car above. I'm going to nominate that car for a blue diamond award. Most number of price changes in one week for any Porsche referenced in this thread to date. eg Summer campaign started at 130k, peaking at 139k and ended around 124k. Then this week, shifting to a winter campaign blitz with new pics, alert 1 at 119k, alert 2 down to 109k, alert 3 up to 119k and wait for it, alert 4 back to an equaling campaign to date high of 139k. Isn't that interesting? To me that is so interesting, I going to try and attempt to rationalise it and the broader market ?Enter the realm of the BOT on car sales infecting the psyche of the seller's price setting via artificial intelligence that is triggered by an automated please confirm digital message from car sales to agree to advertise at this price. I reckon the BOT (algorithm) used by a possible insider trader / manipulater of the lithium stock I brought resulted in stock prices this week that are a near perfect correlation to the movement in the above advertised prices. I have a feeling the BOT has been licensed to car sales and I have caught out a live pilot program being rolled out, hence the reason for troubles of late on the site.I also think I have some insight on basis of algorithm. I am going to coin it the "9XX UV duco index" factor. This week, looks like a few clouds in the sky at the start of the week, low levels of UV absorbed on that blue duco and the price drops. As the clouds and buyers float away, blue skies are upon us and the duco is exposed to higher levels of UV pushing up the index along with the advertised price. Bit of a heat wave experienced earlier in the week comparative wise for this time of the year, but now the chill has set in. The blue duco on the 996 has been insulated in the garage and is still glowing from its overdose of UV during the week. I'm predicting the price will soon be realigned with the algorithm's prediction very soon. Not up folks but back down again, probably to 119kIrrespective of whether the BOT's in play or the new photo bomb campaign cuts the mustard, the problem with BOT's and artificial intelligence and the new winter advertising campaign is that their is no substitute for getting up close and personal. The downside of getting into bed with a faraway princess after being attracted from a far, is you discover the crown jewels up for sale are not worth as much as what her siblings and cousins are sporting. Also worth substantially less than the next model up, yes the Queen and whats available from her top shelf. Just not as shiny and sparkly when you take a closer look and when you delve on the inside, it may indicate a colourful past and the bling factor is lost. You also get to find out that the duco can be manipulated to artificially inflate the UV readings. The princess in this case has been overusing the Porsche UV factor 40k plus on the duco which easily rubs off and probably not very effective when the clouds set in. New revision to the algorithm to take out the effects of the factor 40k plus and some acceptance by the owner by hititng the confirmed button and we may not have to endure a Summer Campaign #2Could it be, the Insto's with those shiny illuminated light filled show rooms are artificially upping the 9XX UV Duco Index as well. Winter's setting in folks and good time to lower your offers on those examples stored in cold and dark garages that will see lower levels of UV exposure on the duco's due to lower temperatures and more cloud cover . The algorithm is predicting a moderate growth in advertises prices as we approach the summer of 2016/ 2017 and sellers taking up ANF's advise with more photo's being taken in blue skies along with matching blue sky high advertised prices (but not to the extent of last summers prices)I think TurboT's a wise man and cottoned on earlier and adds a new dimension to the algorithm not yet included by the BOT, eg buy counter cyclical during the autumn / winter months in OZ and that may entail keeping an open mid on O/S delivered examples and travelling abroad to get your hands on some duco that isn't affected locally by over application of the Porsche UV plus factors even after allowing for any FX anomalies whilst also tinkering into the sea container acquisition businessThe obvious and tell me something I don't know mantra for which the algorithm is founded upon is:"Buy dull in winter based on offering lower prices ( Porsche UV Duco index factor at is its lowest) and advertise shiny in summer at a highs (Porsche UV Duco index factor at is highs) based on a 10% discount to the insto's. This blue 996 turbo is now tarnished with same brush as the heavily modified 996 turbo in Perth as I see it. Two peas in a pod, sporting the wrong shells. I can feel a strategic alliance coming on. Eg Mutual meeting in Adelaide (1/2 way between Wollongong and Perth) for a two day drivetrain transplant. Modified motor much suited in the blue 996 turbo. Then need a rubber mallet to assist with banging each owners head together to come up with a new marketing campaign to actually convert the cars into some cash. I reckon 2 for 1 offer. Buy the Highly modified blue 996 turbo for 200k (yes dyno sheet to show three runs at over 700hp are available on request) and well throw in a stock silver 996 turbo as a spare Edited 17June, 2016 by smit2100 symsy and JonoF 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
