poli84 Posted 19August, 2016 Report Share Posted 19August, 2016 (edited) This has to be up there with one of the "highest amount asked for a 964 C4". Looks like a loved example, however, i think the asking price is optimistic. http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-911-Carrera-1989/SSE-AD-3581616/?Cr=59 Edited 19August, 2016 by poli84 PK010 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PK010 Posted 19August, 2016 Report Share Posted 19August, 2016 Oh FFS this is just getting ridiculous! Do the vendors stop to think what can be bought for that kind of coin? The number is especially scary when the pre-tax earnings to fund such a new toy are taken into consideration...Looking into my chrystal ball, I foresee a number of price adjustments. scashin, firstone and GC9911 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that - it's funny, the name rang a bell with me and I had just assumed it was a deep recollection from an article in one of those great British classic car magazines about a dealer having sold a famous car...

Tread carefully!And question the "Runs well" statement from these guys by using the "By What Method" clarification.They are not a car dealer but a car wrecker after all and might be great for buying parts, but consider any cars they sell as a collection of parts sold in bulk as a project car. If it starts, runs and drives it's a bonus. Edited 20August, 2016 by TrevMcRev ANF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgy Posted 20August, 2016 Report Share Posted 20August, 2016 Some of the other jucy onesGT3 2007….Gone..CS Silver one …To a good home that I know at a great price….had to pass on that gem as i couldn't justify parking that one outside a rental property along with the 5 other cars Few more out there …RS is still available … hopefully the Mrs will accept a caravan rather than a house and I can grab it but might need a scraper to get the rubber and tar of the underside.Why hasnt the 996 GT3 been snatched from Mount MarthaWho grabbed the 356A coupe?? Someone here ..deposited..off carsales??PS The mint Peugeot 205 GTI got whipped away …low kms ..now theres an investment silver 7.1 with PCCB was a gem... Can't believe it took so long to sell! ? But that's the climate right now...I can't wait for the day you actually get one mr syms! There is still some good deals out there and the mount Martha car is one of them! ? Trust me on that... I'm not the extrovert 911 guy that most are... Just live in one small GT3 circle! ? symsy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not the extrovert 911 guy that most are... Just live in one small GT3 circle! ? Sitting on the Edge Edgy … personal update for you sir and seeing as a few others are promoting me to splash cash around. My buddy got the 7.1 after I got it on his radar, happy for him myThe Razor is a bit blunt… well…. Its probably at its value point right now and stalled bidding at 27.1k , with its agendas anything with bodywork needing done in the current car world is a 5-10k agenda these days… we will see.. I could send it to mexico or downtown LA for a makeover..would probably be cheaper.The 7.2 was nice too Edgy… Im being the king of research….I have tyre kicked , run my fingers across the duco and smelt the leather of a few. The dream is alive and the hunt even still viscerally exciting.As for other GT3's Voyerism update my favorite "Opiate" the Grey QLD 991 is long gone… I dreamt of that toy a quick liquidation of my DB5 but it wasnt to be.Im suprised no one is on the RS as discussed..must be the lack of shine on the underside. Nothing a few plasters wouldnt fix. I so nearly jumped…..As for Mount Martha.. I want to rack up some Kms guilt free so .. so maybe a low kms car like the 7.1 will best for me, when im ready to move on that.I must confess I got my look sideways at other things right now.. Aston DBS in rotisserie the GTR in the paint shop. Esky getting front vented brake upgrade. I am watching this thread avidly and Im off to BREXIT land very soon.Pcars seem a little bit heavy and slugish to speculate on..but still the passion drive of choice.. Without the Wong Dynasty collection being reduced and not modified and with Tom only having two slots on the stacker…and his car holding up the througputs at the docks.. the market throughput seems to be at an all time low.Have no fear 356 and 911 Longhood hotrod are still things I will jump into for more entertainment as the need to fill the grid on ready for the next build.No sure I will convert to 4POT or 8POT ownership.. lets see what the MCrev dude comes up ..maybe a bush bashing rally car will inspire me..Edgy I think a meat raffle and BBQ at your place..might be the most exicting outlook of Pcar activity we could conjur up.. there is the Escort Challenge Border Ranges Kyogle next weekend .. if you really want hear BDA's and Webbers in perfect symphonic harmony… or has movie buffs TOMS CRUISE been scheduled yet…. ?Shit winters boring ..Michel must have another Mocha Cocklate or Nice rice dream coloured car to keep this thread pumping and you crew entertained. you gotta admit that car must be a national icon now..unlike the puke pistachio car. edgy and michel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bamboo Beige.It was only available in '81 & '82 and also correct that only 2 were delivered here over both years ..... both in 1981 (I have the other one that has been repainted red)Tingy is also correct in thinking it would be worth more than what he is asking.Hard to pick the market at the moment .....
