Dalai Posted 19March, 2017 Report Share Posted 19March, 2017 Sure is a nice looking car and I like it without a wing as well. Being an import probably mostly depends on condition underneath and paint quality and how long it's been in Aust. And also if he has receipts for the engine work it's possibly a fair to good buy. Seems keen to sell so @75 or high 70's sounds pretty good I guess -Original posting a month or two ago mentioned needing to sell due to divorce, so definitely needs to sell hence the drop in price already. Pretty sure this started at 6 figures when initially listed. sandy468 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANF Posted 19March, 2017 Report Share Posted 19March, 2017 Calling on the wisdom of this forum again.Decided not to go with the silver 996tt as the dealer was not willing to complete all repairs. So out of contract, deposit heading back!!Whew! Looking at the Blue 996TT in NQLD in carsales.Who should I get the PPi done from in Cairns (closest to the owner)Between the blue one and the one at Autohaus which seems a better buy?Autohaus: https://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/Porsche-911-2001/OAG-AD-14439335/?Cr=5Cairns: https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-911-2001/SSE-AD-4598626/?Cr=6 Pro for the NQLD one: Mileage, it appears to be MY02,Autohaus: From an independent dealerWill ring and get details of history, services etc on Monday. I don't think you could go wrong with the Autohaus one, but for me something about speed yellow https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-911-2002/SSE-AD-3973055/?Cr=3 Has been on the market a little and there may well be a back story, but looks amazing, may be open to reasonable offer??

It should be circa $100k.Just for the record ....

Good service history but is pretty fixed on price (although I see a slight drop recently).Polarising colour!!!! Family vetoed it!! Would be called a taxi (Indian taxis traditionally yellow n black)I love the colour btw!!! The photos are when he bought it. No new photos. What do you guys think about this one:https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-Cayman-2014/SSE-AD-4592138/?Cr=8 Impressive spec n options for the price.Recently drove a 718 Cayman and was a sweet drive.Thoughts???

James P Posted 20March, 2017 Report Share Posted 20March, 2017 Given James has bumped up the price of his, perhaps it isn't too far off the mark?The reason that i bumped my price up is I'm sick of getting offers of $40 to $50k & people wasting my time with PPI's then low balling. My buy price is $54k if this is to high so be it... i don't need to sell it, i just put a stainless steel Monty exhaust on it today & a new Hi-Tourque starter. Its a sweet zero F's car that i don't worry about driving it hard or parking it at the shops Whatever price Jame's is, doesn't change the thought that this one at 85k is way overpriced - price he's asking is what an Aust del asks, maybe even 10k more than Aust del....Correct GUT, TrevMcRev, JonoF and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cayman does look very good.not that one. It's not on the open market.

Targa will be cheaper than a coupe but both are still a bargain compared to the 73 seeing they are a 0.75mill (or thereabouts) asking price. I believe one recently sold here in Vic for mid 100's.

Also, unrelated, this T seems pretty bloody pricey: https://www.ebay.com.au/ulk/itm/152475129927 No offence if the owner is a member. might be wrong however that T is a very original car and nice colour. If so then probably worth the ask or close to it. What else was recently priced like this ..comparable to BBC's car? At some point the T E S chit chat become less relevant and this is that type of car, if you are so inclined.now @JonoF on the subject of IB MFi cars are you been deliberately obtuse naive or provocative ???Btw the sale price on the blue MFI targa early Feb is an outlier , don't go pegging prices to it Edited 20March, 2017 by michel Mike D'Silva 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonoF Posted 20March, 2017 Report Share Posted 20March, 2017 now @JonoF on the subject of IB MFi cars are you been deliberately obtuse naive or provocative ??? A mix of deliberately provocative and accidentally naive. I just don't get it. 2.7L carby cars you could pretty much give away (by far the cheapest air cooled 911), but the 2.7L MFI cars ride the coat tails of the 73RS are are massive dollars as a result. Very confusing. For example, that lime green IB MFI Targa that has been over $200K for a while. I appreciate everyone agrees that is outrageously overpriced, but it seemed like overone thoyght $150K would be good buying. Why? Looks? - no in my humble opinion. Feel? - early MFI sounds and feels great. I accept that. Reliability? - nope. I'm actually really interested to know if rarity plays such a massive part in price? And if so, then why is the SC less than the 3.2L Carerra? They produced approx 25% less SCs. So many questions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel Posted 20March, 2017 Report Share Posted 20March, 2017 2.7 factory G- 911 with carbies uber rare...lhistory sees the market valuing MFI cars above many other similar equivalents - halo - bullshit - speculation - history - speculation not sure if more can be made of the equation though some will no doubt i don't get Celine Dion either or for that matter the movie titanic micknine01, sandy468 and JonoF 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
