ANF Posted 27February, 2017 Report Share Posted 27February, 2017 I think the real shame is that the original owner surrendered an incredible and unique driving experience for a quick buck. Has not sold yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FAP911 Posted 27February, 2017 Report Share Posted 27February, 2017 (edited) Poor Porsche, crying in their soup again. Boo f@^ken hoo. Simple they could build more! Its a clever marketing strategy that continues to put them in the media spotlightNo different to 997 Sport Classic and 599GTO, Enzo, La Ferrari 918 Veyron etc ( and now P1 )I really feel for the long term loyal Porsche buyers that may have been far more deserving and would have kept it Edited 27February, 2017 by FAP911 Fraz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraz Posted 27February, 2017 Report Share Posted 27February, 2017 Riiiight.... 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.In other news.... this lasted all of about 1 hour on carsales today.Sharp looking 997S manual in guards red with factory aero kit, IMS done and 50 something thousand kays...God, what did that sell in a second. If anyone wants to swap a 964 for a 997S or turbo let me know. Probably too good to be true anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They painted over the rubber trim, rather than strip teh car doew. Masking was also very poor and it has been sprayed in a non original colour. Being a leftie limits the price as well. Consider James's car, which is low mileage and pretty original, in far better condition and he is struggling to get $56k. On this car, you will need to spend $20k on a respray, just to get t to look decent from closer than 2 metres! I cannot remember what else is wrong with the car, but anything over $30k is probably too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Posted 27February, 2017 Report Share Posted 27February, 2017 911R has made it into the news:http://www.drive.com.au/motor-news/porsche-owner-looks-to-make-800000-in-a-month-20170226-gulwvb.htmlClever dude.

DJM Posted 27February, 2017 Report Share Posted 27February, 2017 I suspect you're right! $1M + opens up lots of options... Spend $400k to get the R, sell for $1.2M buy a GT3RS for 600k and put your original 400k plus 50% profit back in the bank and enjoy your RS. If Porsche don't want this to occur, why don't they jack up the price of the new car.....? New 911R list price $1M, they'd still sell them. As a business why would you sell a product for say 200k profit only for your customer to make a lazy 800k on top doing nothing. Makes no sense. poli84 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or get an $8k paintjob or someone to prep it for 5k and paint it yourself and spend another 5k on bits n pieces and it's a nice cheapy driver at about $45k LeeM and poli84 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes no sense.If I'm Porsche I'm looking at the secondary market and thinking the same thing. Don't think they'd sell 900 of them for $1M without this current asset bubble though, there are much better 'poser' cars in that price bracket.

As a business why would you sell a product for say 200k profit only for your customer to make a lazy 800k on top doing nothing. Makes no sense.I don't know that they would sell them for $1M but they still definitely would sell them for say $600k, and they knew that from the outset. They are a business after all. If you were making an unlimited production run is one thing, but there is a globe full of wealthy speculators who are jumping on every limited car being released.

TrevMcRev Posted 27February, 2017 Report Share Posted 27February, 2017 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/282376255875 Flinstone's mobil?Slap a cheap used Carrera donk and box, or a Chev V8 in it from the wreckers and go thrash the shiz out of it till it goes bang.Never be a "real" cup car but it'd be fun, cheap to run and cheaper than setting up a Carrera for the track, would handle shit hot and probably be as quick as a standard real GT3 at the track, and well over $100K cheaper.Yabba dabba doooo!
