t888 Posted 27July, 2016 Report Share Posted 27July, 2016 Agree, thats seriously lot of car for the money, dump the side signage & you're in business. on one of the american forums they are talking about how the base 991 is starting to fall below well specced 997.2s. I wonder if we'll see the same here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GC9911 Posted 27July, 2016 Report Share Posted 27July, 2016 on one of the american forums they are talking about how the base 991 is starting to fall below well specced 997.2s. I wonder if we'll see the same here. I had a new 991 3.4ltr & it was dissapointing in the power stakes so i sold it & bought the S, they are like chalk & cheese. If you're thinking of buying a 991 3.4ltr DON'T. I would take a 997.2 3.6ltr over the 991 3.4 any day, S is a different story though. symsy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a lot of car for the money. These things dont run in properly until about 6,000ks from my experience.

DJM Posted 27July, 2016 Report Share Posted 27July, 2016 Less time talking km's more time making them I say. Hugh, the voice of reason.Why anyone would buy a car to park and ogle has me perplexed. Buy a piece of art, at least you can hang that in your living room. cars are for driving, These guys have it sorted:http://rennlist.com/forums/996-gt2-gt3-forum/826272-highest-mileage-gt2.htmlI doubt I'll ever catch up to their "high" kms - my car gets limited use but that's nothing to do with "preservation" and more to do with ~580hp, no TC/SC, less than optimal tyres and wet Melbourne weather. Bring on Spring.... hugh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozvino Posted 28July, 2016 Report Share Posted 28July, 2016 Did you notice it was LHD converted?No - as I said a half a dozen pages ago, I thought at the time "I like it but if I buy this I will never be able to sell it, who the hell would pay $50k for a 964 backdate"Don't take investment advice from me is the lesson - but I have heard that Ansett, Enron and Dick Smith are good stocks to jump onto if you are looking for a tip itsujack, TrevMcRev, DJM and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine being a G50 though.I sure hope they get somewhere near this money for that car, because that really would be a benchmark for the 3.2's. Would it be worth more as a G50? If CTS were selling a g50 car, they would say it is a better buy, but while they are selling a 915 car, I am sure they would argue that it was a purer experience I see the 2 gearboxes as being like great Single Malts - some are more of an acquired taste than others, but once you acquire the taste..... poetry911, Peter M and Diamond911 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
