Sustenpass Posted 26February, 2017 Report Share Posted 26February, 2017 (edited) You've lost me ....... why hail damaged ?There was a little Hail Damaged graphic that showed up on the listing, kind of like the one that tells you if it's a dealer or private sale.I think the person who made the ad pressed something by mistake. When I posted the link there were no photos yet, so I was intrigued.obviously all fixed now.my mates blue 1972 T/E just sold and IMO a better car, a coupe - offered great value the tone of the neighbourhood just went down a notch is he replacing it with something interesting?

SimonN Posted 27February, 2017 Report Share Posted 27February, 2017 Gosford trailer park offering - converted targa - $250k??https://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/Porsche-911-1972/OAG-AD-14382877/?Cr=0 Well there's a new benchmark! These prices are just getting silly now. Calm down!Let's not forget that there is a big difference between asking price and selling price.maybe I should advertise my car for $150k, just to see the reaction!In the case of Gosford, I have never taken many of their asking prices as a real attempt to sell cars and I suspect there is some tax angle to this, because the whole reason for the museum is a tax scheme. Maybe, for example, the car is valued on the books at the high level, it is then advertised at that level and when it doesn't sell, they either drop the price or the book valuation, creating a paper loss to offset against any tax liabilities. michel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonN Posted 27February, 2017 Report Share Posted 27February, 2017 Why put it up for $250k if it's FAR from being its market value then? Do you think they'll drop the price in line with market values then? The only reaction people in the know are going to say is 'Yeah right, that's worth a look....NOT!' So if a 'restored' imported and converted Targa is apparently 'worth' $250k, does that make an average imported and converted Targa worth $150k? $250k is a pisstake mate I am not saying you are wrong, but the guy who owns the museum is far from stupid and I am told by somebody far closer to what is going on than i will ever be that there is method to the madness. He also has staff who know a thing or 2 about cars, so it's not as if they don't know the true values. That being the case, it is probably more interesting to try to understand what they are doing. Taking the piss does nothing for net worth or profit, and that is what the "museum" is all about. So if we are so sure that the car is well over priced, why are they trying to sell a car at a price that it won't sell at. They must have a reason. micknine01 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Porsche are so disappointed, would they have traded it back in and resold it at an appropriate used car discount off the original sticker price?I doubts it.

If Porsche are so disappointed, would they have traded it back in and resold it at an appropriate used car discount off the original sticker price?I doubts it.They would definitely have taken it back and sold it very quietly for a premium. No advertising, maybe call one person they know would buy it. The only person that would know would be the two or three people at the dealership and the buyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleazius Posted 27February, 2017 Report Share Posted 27February, 2017 It is what it is. If there is money to be made someone is going to take the opportunity.
