Port 911 Posted 11March, 2017 Report Share Posted 11March, 2017 noting @SimonN comments, I'd agree a bit over the odds given the array of RHD cars on the market. However if your budget requires some restraint, then buying a project car and building over time can make something like this attractive. But as Simon says... don't underestimate the fundamentals involved in a build of this magnitude. Though if orig RHD is a must have as is a pre 74 vin and irrespective of the sporto comment as its a minor bottom cough in the scheme of things, how many early car ( project) opportunities are you all seeing?so in concluding. Maybe good buying if you're motivated and spanner handy and remembering not all cars need or should have to be pristine numbers matching and AH drive day worthy ... world gone mad Q. So quick one fingered typers what would you pay? If one was to look at a car such as this, NOT MY CUP OF TEA, they should do due diligence, because sometimes things are not as good as they may appear. Welds in the wrong places could be a very big issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smit2100 Posted 11March, 2017 Report Share Posted 11March, 2017 Is this getting interesting now?Would be a beast.https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-911-2001/SSE-AD-3261389 And what about this?https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-911-Carrera-2003/SSE-AD-4136273 So you reckon the beast will sell nearly as it approaches closer to 3 years of its car sales campaign because of another price drop ( mere 5k). Interesting? 95k two years ago dropped into some wild west gold shares (anything of any subtance, eg lucky dip) would have given the owner a couple of free carry P trades. Emotive seller perhaps that doesn't subscribe to the time value of money? So whats a 996 tt engine build worth - 25k to 35k?. 600hp to 700hp turbo upgrade = 30k to 35k?. Residual value of series 1 996tt = 40k to 50k. So is that AUS delivered or UK import, registered, but once written off and back from the dead? Whats wrong with the maths,? eg something doesn't add up! Speaking of time value of money and "what about this", that car seems way to similar to something that was discussed 12 months ago. Just a view, but if its the same car as I suspect and if the Carrera sells at that price, its way ahead of my superfund returns over the last twelve months.Just some cut and paste extracts that may be of interest to some, (DYOR, but to me seems a bit of groundhog day (refer to one of Woka's early thread posts chasing his first P car in Feb 2016)Long chat to Rasi.. First and foremost is an import, been in the country for 5 years, 3 owner car.. Extensive modifications by the sounds of things. Dry, rust free and clean.I don't know if I can mention it here, but the owner is the owner of a performance workshop, 7 minutes from 'airport west' Prestige 'something or other' works I think he called himself.. Its a sorted car by the sounds, maybe a little to much on the side of go-cart - but my knowledge doesn't stretch the far.. Thanks very much @Pork Chops, that's a very decent gesture, lets see what eventuates over the next couple of days, pictures pending etc and I might take you up on that. Import... It keeps reverberating.. I know they all came from the same factory, and I understand the arguments for and against. Is the price right for an import.. Posted 12 Feb 2016 · Report postI thought it was cheap for a Aus delivered C4S. I want you in a 996 as bad as you want one but IMO don't jump the gun. Posted 12 Feb 2016 · Report postHas the price gone up? Its now $56,500 I could have sworn it was $52,000 earlier? In the case of $56,200 thats too expensive for an import C4S IMO. I have seen them for high 4s'! Pun intended... haha And what about this/ food for thought! Rather than referencing car sales links, if we all took three more seconds when posting to do a print screen of the car sales add with the asking price / pic of car and pasted it (not word searchable unforetunately), as opposed to a car sales link, we would have a much better historical archive of what a previous owner thought is was worth at a point in time instead of clicking on historical links that reference corolla's or hilux's. Plus I could have perhaps posted a screen shot (picture with a price is worth a thousand words) with an Interesting???, instead of some of the above. symsy, TrevMcRev, michel and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buyer be informed.but my Q's were how many pre 74 RHD projects are been seen and what should this and others similar be trading for . I think you have to look what these cars in good condition are selling for. Then look at what you are intending to purchase, what's there and how much you are going to have to spend to get the car up to the standard of the cars you are comparing it to in the first place. If you can do most of the work yourself and you enjoy doing that, you could end up with a car that you love because you have put many hour of blood sweat and tears into it, and hopefully worth way more than the efforts you put in, should you ever be able to part with it. I think if your were to start finding welds in the wrong places it would end up with a trip to the metal recyclers.I may have to look at making inquiries into this one, if I could get it for the right price, there goes my spare time for the next few years.

Peter M Posted 12March, 2017 Report Share Posted 12March, 2017 Thanks for the direct insight. Did it look completely tarted up to be sold or good " normal operating condition" with a spit and polish? Did it show many owners? The Autohaus one has just had the front bumper repainted for stone chips, the rear wing lift mechanism reconditioned and some suspension bushes replaced. It is either a two or three owner car, sold new in WA and then QLD. It struck me as a well loved car and certainly didn't strike me a mutton dressed as lamb.As for auto vs manual, both have their own advantages depending on your circumstances. Like you say, I think the perfect garage has one of each. GC9911 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
