reggiegums Posted 13July, 2016 Report Share Posted 13July, 2016 I suspect there are 2 things going on here. First, Duttons claim to have a reach into other markets, like SE Asia. Second, there is a much anticipated change in the law which, if stories are correct, will come in from the beginning of next year, which will allow cars to be imported with a lot more ease.It's interesting how Duttons told me just how undesirable UK cars were and how little they wree worth, offering me $150k less for my 964RS and then kindly sharing their valuation with every known Porsche specialist - "have you been offered the red RS which we value at x because it is a dodgy UK import". Having done that, they then called me back to see if I had considered their offer which they were sure was fair and what others would pay.......Thats a dog move Mike D'Silva, Ozvino, GUT and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonN Posted 13July, 2016 Report Share Posted 13July, 2016 agree and rob is a fair dealer from what i hear. however the rarer cars with good clean history almost sell themselves. it's the shady dealers and private sellers that usually stuff it all up. some of these main player dealers forget that some owners and buyers actually know more than they do about these carsTrying to be rational about this, as most of the dealers are really selling on consignment (even when they are not allowed to) the fact is that on rare cars which are hard to value, they try to get the price down to make it easier to sell the car. Where there are a few cars of a type on the market, these guys are usually very good at achieving the highest prices, but when you have a type of car that hasn't been on the market for a few years, they have to create the market.

Is yellow the only thing that's wrong with the car or just dealers trying their best (along with CTS) to push 930's close to the $300k mark and not finding anyone liking to play ball?

clutch-monkey Posted 13July, 2016 Report Share Posted 13July, 2016 (edited) Isnt that tell tale drip an indication that these cars still run and that its not a polished veneer , its the only way to know really, when you take the museum/garage queen tape off em.. Oil drips are like cars tears of joy in an air cooled , when the beast is let out of its cage The opposite is true, leave a car sit and the seals perish and leak. Used regularly and up to temp and you should not have a problem, I'd be ropable if my car dripped oil on a track. if it drips, someone has skipped corners somewhere (or let it sit too long!) etc Edited 13July, 2016 by clutch-monkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that is why it is priced the way it is, because I am sure if it were manual, it would be a 6 figure car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that is why it is priced the way it is, because I am sure if it were manual, it would be a 6 figure car.Porschie,Yeah, worth a look.I've noticed potential 993 owners are still very sensitive to km's that isn't so prevalent with buyers of the previous models. The non standard bits like the wheels, brake calipers (painted only?) and front indicator lens would also scare them a bit too. Are any of these things a showstopper? No, they are hardy, those km's aren't a worry as long as it's been looked after. Just keep your eyes open to deferred maintenance and repair items . They are still a simple car and parts are reasonable except when it comes to internal engine items. If it was a manual and was advertised to sell rather than the many current dreamers on Carsales it would be priced at probably $115,000 to $125,000. I couldn't afford a manual when I bought mine but haven't regretted buying my Tip for a moment, especially when the alternative was not owning a 993 at all.If you're serious about buying one, have a look and if it checks out OK, make him an offer. He can only knock you back! Edited 13July, 2016 by Peter M sandy468 and TINGY 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
