Coastr Posted 3August, 2016 Report Share Posted 3August, 2016 it says original radio and is sporting a Blaupunkt Toronto SQR46 which was installed for US cars, not sure about UK.not an American car. Or, if so, considerable time and effort to convert and remove traces of US delivery. Unlikely to have been done and keep It a bog stock white targa.Highly likely to be a UK car. Looks nice, get ppi etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond911 Posted 3August, 2016 Report Share Posted 3August, 2016 The Blaupunkt Toronto SQR 46 was installed in UK cars. I know, mine has one. The Blaupunkt Reno SQR 46 was installed in US cars. I know, mine had one.I'm sure you're right and it appears that that car has a Blaupunkt SQR46 Toronto or Bremen in it in the photo so likely a UK car. Anyway, that aside it looks like a nice car and I really love targas. I know it's been on the market a while though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel Posted 3August, 2016 Report Share Posted 3August, 2016 (edited) This looks pretty nice for the money:http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-911-Carrera-1988/SSE-AD-4065707/?Cr=4 So tracking back 24 hours... if we agree its an orig RHD and KMs (140k?) and condition good, isn't this already marked down to reflect import status and it being a Targa . If so then what's a comparable oz equivalent worth? Edited 3August, 2016 by michel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PK010 Posted 3August, 2016 Report Share Posted 3August, 2016 So tracking back 24 hours... if we agree its an orig RHD and KMs (140k?) and condition good, isn't this already marked down to reflect import status and it being a Targa . If so then what's a comparable oz equivalent worth? Good question - personally (and I hope this isn't too controversial), I'm not really sure an Australian equivalent is really worth any more than the asking price of this one and suspect this one is over-priced, even if it is as it looks - I know we have all thought it is a strong market and a number of cars are listed at quite 'ambitious' prices - which often stay listed for a significant time (especially at the dealers we all know and love), but who really knows what they ultimately sell for when all is said and done other than those involved directly in the deal?The price of this car isn't so much 'marked down' as marked up to the absolute maximum that the vendor thinks he can achieve? Yes, there will always be people who pay a little over the odds, just as there will always be cars like the miraculous yellow Shannons 911...I'm just not so sure the market is where we sometimes think it is, based upon a relatively small sample of cars.

If so then what's a comparable oz equivalent worth? I personally think that is the value of a decent imported coupe in the current market, so I think you need to take another chunk off for the Targa. I think this is the money for an Oz car. LeeM seems to be in the right ballpark. The only thing going for it and all targas at the moment is that unlike 930's, they are in short supply And talking about tough ones to value, how do we value this 3.2?http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-911-Carrera-1986/SSE-AD-4185881/?Cr=17Low Ks(134k), converted to RHD (ex japan).

Any comments SC's Also would you knock a car thats non original colour 5% or 10% of top prices ?Im gonna use the assumption that the top top price is CTS or DUTTON and most of us arent ever gonna pay those ??Like wise , how about a non matching number car -- 5% or 10% knock down .. whats your measure?Lastly , as 356's are signifcantly older do those of you that have had them or own them normally get history .. full history .. log books , owners manuals.. or is this just a rare few cars.. im guessing although ideal .. unlike 911s again age plays a big factor in what paperwork s reasonable to not have ?

Coastr Posted 3August, 2016 Report Share Posted 3August, 2016 Simon, I thought you would have mentioned the wacky condenser fan mounted on the engine!some strange choices in that blue car. However seats and interior look nice and I assume it's the original colour. Wheel, speakers and utterly useless toy fan are easily replaced. As if a little plastic fan could move more air than the massive overdriven ducted engine fan !Good luck to the seller as it looks like a nice clean car. Personally I would have left it lhd as the good Dr intended and spent the money on some 7/8 in original Fuchs. But that's just me, I have the lhd madness and I'm not sure I would go to RHD now. poetry911 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
