DJM Posted 5January, 2014 Report Share Posted 5January, 2014 Lots of flash cars in Dubai which prompted me to see what cars sell for here. Classic P cars command similar money to Aus but check out more recent models!! Divide AED price by 3.5 to get AUD price. http://dubai.dubizzle.com/motors/used-cars/porsche/ How about a '97 Boxster S for $6,000? http://dubai.dubizzle.com/motors/used-cars/porsche/boxster/2013/12/8/porsche-boxster-s-urgent-sale-leaving-coun-2/?back=ZHViYWkuZHViaXp6bGUuY29tL21vdG9ycy91c2VkLWNhcnMvcG9yc2NoZS8%2Fb3Q9YXNjJm89Mw%3D%3D&pos=17 Or $100k for 2012 997 Turbohttp://dubai.dubizzle.com/motors/used-cars/porsche/carrera/2013/12/18/2012-porche-carrera-911-turbo-dealer-warra-2/?back=ZHViYWkuZHViaXp6bGUuY29tL21vdG9ycy91c2VkLWNhcnMvcG9yc2NoZS8%3D&pos=10 Or brand new 2014 GT3 for $200khttp://dubai.dubizzle.com/motors/used-cars/porsche/carrera/2013/12/23/latest-new-2014-911-gt3--2/?back=ZHViYWkuZHViaXp6bGUuY29tL21vdG9ycy91c2VkLWNhcnMvcG9yc2NoZS8%2Fc2l0ZT0yJnM9TVQmcmM9MTQwJmMxPTE1MzAmYzI9LS0mcHJpY2VfX2d0ZT0mcHJpY2VfX2x0ZT0meWVhcl9fZ3RlPSZ5ZWFyX19sdGU9MjAxNCZraWxvbWV0ZXJzX19ndGU9JmtpbG9tZXRlcnNfX2x0ZT0mc2VsbGVyX3R5cGU9JmtleXdvcmRzPUd0MyZpc19iYXNpY19zZWFyY2hfd2lkZ2V0PTAmaXNfc2VhcmNoPTEmcGxhY2VzX19pZF9faW49U3RhcnQrdHlwaW5nK2hlcmUmcGxhY2VzX19pZF9faW49JmFkZGVkX19ndGU9JmNvbXBhbnlfaXRlbV9pZD0mYXV0b19hZ2VudD0%3D&pos=3 Yet again highlights excessive taxes levied on new cars in Aus.

Dubai944 Posted 7January, 2014 Report Share Posted 7January, 2014 No rust issues, just lots of general abuse and lack of servicing. Cars get old very quickly over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubai944 Posted 7January, 2014 Report Share Posted 7January, 2014 There are the occasional good ones though. This was my 944 S2 when I bought it in 2008. 115,000km, and less than $5000. I have real trouble reading the ads for 20K + S2s here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, have seen plenty of nice cars parked and covered in sand, dust and crap. Suggests a total lack of care that would be rare in Aus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
