Whats for sale (in Australia ) and interesting Thread


Recommended Posts

EBay is a great place to sell, I sell a lot on eBay. My advice is to start a listing at the minimum price you want for it and accept that you may have to sell it. 

Except for cars. For some reason cars on eBay bring out the worst in people. The scammers, the fakes, the dreamers and the timewasters. You'd be amazed how many Skylines I've been offered as part trade in a car I've listed for sale.

By all means list a car on eBay, but not as an auction. Only list as a buy it now or classified, and put heavy buyer restriction settings on (eg no zero feedback bidders or bidders who have unpaid item strikes). 

I got a GTR V spec 2 …what you wanna trade.. you got no cars listed under your profile..

It's puce green , if you like puce . The thing is , in black or orange the car would sell twice as quickly and for an extra 20 grand. But I get that some people just want to stand out . The question is , why is he/she selling? Budget went haywire and spouse found out? Shamed on social media? 24/7 nausea?

Project 912 shell for peanuts on ebay:-

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Porsche-912-Project-/191940365452?hash=item2cb0898c8c:g:OccAAOSwIgNXpq64

Just wondering how much of a project this would be, being a UK car!

Cheers

Steve

 

I know of this car.. PROJECT is the right word… good at the right price… but always gonna be bundles of 5-10k ..the question is how many…metal work , interiors , paint , running gear , motor , wheels  how longhood or short hood,  is a bit of string … :)

I personally feel unless you have an Aladdins cave of parts - you always end up +40k unless your pure genius and master with the tools.

Being UK , like any other thers always the UK acne issues , although its pretty visible in that state of being stripped , one would have thought.

it may be like any other old shell.. UK or otherwise at this stage of its life and its heritage and DNA wont make a difference.. presume your talking about building an outlaw/hotrod

All depends on your final vision.

I know of this car..

Do you know the details of this statement, if there's a decent amount of new panels there that's a reasonable start at least?

Comes with brand new replacement panels needed for resto.

If your interested, maybe you should try and contact the seller? 

Porsche 912 project on Gumtree http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/1120655427

Doubt he will take peanuts!!

Havent seen the car but looks like a shell with replacement panels.  My view is you would need a pretty good donor car, on top of getting the shell fixed up, painted etc, to get this up and running and there don't seem to be a lot of those lying around at the moment.

$80k / $100k for finished car and it will be a non matching 912.

Happy to be corrected??

Sweet baby Jesus Pom, $96K !!!!!!  

It has had $200k+ spent on it (and built by Buchanan Automotive)so it would be amazing on all levels I'm sure, but not sure the market is ready for a nearly $100K 944S2T

I would say that is not a typo, $200K.... I guess that's a rare insight into what it actually costs to go really fast in these 944's, personally I'd much rather use that kind of coin on a GT3

Think of this as an 'intermission' from all things that are for sale in Australia and imagine you were a Yank or LCT didn't exist and the Aussi dollar was worth something.

1 auction, 90 Porsches

ok, here's a challenge for everyone...

assuming no value applies, there's no resale, there's no investment. Which one would you want from that list? Only one. And why?

I think it's difficult to justify a $40k premium when these are listed next to each other:

http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-911-1974/SSE-AD-2708192/?Cr=4

http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-911-1974/SSE-AD-4174643/?Cr=5

Are they really a whole lot different? The cheaper one has been for sale for a few weeks now, it started at $50k too

So yeah...the Bisimoto car because it's ridiculous...(and for some reason I'm unable to browse to the next pages in that auction listing...)

The red one appears to have a non-matching engine and gearbox, whilst the blue one seemingly has.
