Written Posted 24July, 2016 Report Share Posted 24July, 2016 Such a shame this car was left outside to deteriorate, it was in great shape in 2010. Here is a pic back thenIt is a real shame Francis is a decent bloke though despite the condition of his car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turboT Posted 24July, 2016 Report Share Posted 24July, 2016 There was a rumour going around that it sold for $30k this week, but secretly I hope it stays in the neighbourhood forever. Kind of brightens the place up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozvino Posted 24July, 2016 Report Share Posted 24July, 2016 (edited) Absolutely Tom that's a nice looking 912 - if you could pick that up for $45k Aud and spend $15k getting it here and on the road you would still be miles in front Edited 24July, 2016 by Ozvino LeeM and turboT 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Written Posted 24July, 2016 Report Share Posted 24July, 2016 (edited) Did you buy it?No, I passed on it at $29,000. At the end of the day, it is a non-matching numbers car that needed a lot of work and TLC...In retrospect, when you have others asking double that for a car in similar condition, it isn't such a bad deal but it just wasn't the right car for me at that price. Would've needed to be a bit cheaper for me to grab it. Edited 24July, 2016 by Written Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 24July, 2016 Report Share Posted 24July, 2016 Wish I could buy it at 29k. Rip the engine out and shove in a $15k 2.4 with gearbox, $5k scratch up paint job and a bit of bog, then voila, instant 911! Not a dumb idea for those of us that don't mind an early hot rod TOM!

JLD Posted 24July, 2016 Report Share Posted 24July, 2016 I think $29k is a bit high for that car... It needs a lot of work! I do like the hotrodding idea though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue964 Posted 24July, 2016 Report Share Posted 24July, 2016 (edited) This exact car was sold to this owner with 158'000kms in 2013, now advertised with 58'000kms.......things that make you go hmmmmthat's why the asking price is $99k...it's not an easy task to wind back an odometer and forge a service history Edited 25July, 2016 by Blue964 Robert930 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like the hotrodding idea thoughDon't take this as a personal attack please. Its a generalisation Not having seen it, I can't say exactly how much it would cost to repair the body and paint, yet again, I'll repost what I said about the slate grey one for 80kIt needs bodywork and a full paint job, who knows what the engine is like, and contrary to popular belief, its a converted car. So that leaves this one. $29k for a base, strip it yourself and get a $5k to 10k paint job. Rebuild the engine 10k (or preferably the 2.4 and box conversion for 15k) There's $50k to 55k. Add some nice wheels or tart theses up with getting them widened and painted for $2k or so. (I was quoted $200 per wheel, and I painted them myself for $30). New floor pan bits $1000, fitting them another $1000 etc. So lets see. An $80k car that needs anywhere from $20k to $40k worth of work that will still only be valued at 100k ish, or one finished for under that amount? Knowing what I know now about these Porsche's, I would be snapping that up ASAP and hot rodding the hell out of it! Personally, it's getting a bit tiring when people want something for nothing, so to speak (again, not aimed at anyone in particular). If anyone wants a car with the correct washers on the seat base, you pay for it. This car is 50 years old, and looks pretty bloody good for being left out and neglected. I don't care who it is, they shouldn't own the bloody thing. Stuff the originality, I hope it gets bought by someone that will do it justice poetry911, symsy and tomo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the rust on it will be a lot worse than can be seen. It's s left hooker, it will need interior work and I think they'll be a lot of unanticipated heartache. The $9k buffer will be swallowed up pretty easily Edited 24July, 2016 by jldmelb LeeM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Posted 24July, 2016 Report Share Posted 24July, 2016 How's that occur Mr Kay? Or do you mean power steering pump? Or could it be someone has just split oil topping up since "it doesn't look current"? Jonathan,I wouldn't rush this purchase until you know for sure the cause. Could also be RMS or a sign of worse to come.thanks for your advice Peter. The car has only done 30,000ks and is owned by a mate who's had it for the past 4 years. Whilst he has not kept up with regular servicing schedule the car does not get used a lot and when it does it's longer trips.i am thinking if he will get the things done I want him to I will also organise a PPI at Brighton as that's who has done the servicing.trying to find that balance between emotion and common sense,as I have negotiated a price a good $10k under anything else in the market.regards AMG and Peter M 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
