LeeM Posted 18July, 2017 Report Share Posted 18July, 2017 62 black RS's were built. This will go for 500k and up I reckon. Add another $300k by a reputable shop (who charge like a wounded bull) and it's good value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the 911 has wipers set for RHD by the looks but it's a LHD car. Could this imply some dodginess maybe afoot? (I'm no expert, just a mug on me hand held device looking at a pic!)oh... and where's the price ? I.e. show me the money!!

Philbee Posted 20July, 2017 Report Share Posted 20July, 2017 "Tell me again why our hacked around cars .. of that age are so bloody expensive , surely the Aus tax shouldnt be a consideration for ever.."its some sort of viral disease released on the world via the "singer" superbug. It infected people that previously frowned upon a modded old Porsche to something rare, admired and a thing of beauty. And I paid the price too. The bug had well and truly infected the dealer and prev owner - they wouldn't budge under 6 figures. And me the sucker also infected, felt the lure too great. Help us Symsy, you're our only hope!!

LeeM Posted 20July, 2017 Report Share Posted 20July, 2017 Rock on Trev! All the talk of values drives me nuts. I get it, people don't wish to lose money on a sizeable purchase, and that's fair enough, but why on earth buy a car if you're not going to drive it at ANY given opportunity? I shouldn't even own my 911 when I have a mortgage and not flushed with cash, yet I do because DRIVING IT makes me happy in all kinds of weather, and I don't have to answer to my missus who always tells me to get out and drive it when I can, as life is too short! Buy a car that you CAN drive and puts a smile on ya face everytime, not leave it under a car cover in a humididty controlled room to win a pissing contest smit2100, grantmr, TrevMcRev and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pork Chops Posted 20July, 2017 Report Share Posted 20July, 2017 To be a little contrary I can see how it might happen with the best of intentions. You're rich, you roll into Duttons, you see an amazing condition older original car, you sit in it and it takes you back to 'the day', you drive it and you're overwhelmed by nostalgia. It's rare, original, a survivor and you're used to the best in life and you have the cash, so why not? So you buy it with no intentions one way or the other. You get it home and walk around it, take photos, adore it. Then you drive it and suddenly everything becomes a missile designed to somehow ruin your car that has passed through many careful hands and endured a long passage of time. Are you going to be the guy who let's the car down and takes a large financial hit? 5 years later the air in the tyres is a stale as the fuel.Hard life being rich no? k0nz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANF Posted 20July, 2017 Report Share Posted 20July, 2017 I think you have all missed my point? The unmodified car is not the most expensive option in aus the back dated one is! Whether you build yourself or buy one already done, it is more expensive to do so and this to me is ludicrous.... in years to come it will revert back as forward dating did......Yes buy to drive but why pay more for something trying to pretend to be something it is not? I know I am in a very small % of this forum, but that is fine with me. Pedro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I am in a very small % of this forum, but that is fine with me.For me, I looked at all Porsches and just happen to like the look of the older long hoodie 911 types and the ducktail the best, stripped out interiors, the spartan look. The orig old cars are a bit lacking technically for me. So, the answer was a backdated RS. But the orig is $1m, or a singer is $750k....mine was a bargain therefore and has upgraded gears & engine - winning!! keg_guts, KGB and LeeM 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you going to be the guy who let's the car down and takes a large financial hit? 5 years later the air in the tyres is a stale as the fuel.Hard life being rich no?the other scenario is, through a period of ownership, the value skyrockets. I bought my GT2 for $125k and at one stage (according to carsales) one sold in Sydney for $405k or so. I was about a year in.....Even though "only" $125k of my hard earned was invested, all of a sudden punting around Phillip Island at 265km/h in a now $400k car seemed a bit daft. Happy days to consider a big financial gain. Pissed off that tracking it could mean significant financial "loss". I am a DRIVER not a polisher but the soaring value played with my mind. Unless you are SERIOUSLYloaded to the point you can bin $400k and not care, I reckon most people would be affected like I was.First world problems of course. Sold it in the low 2s after 2 years. And in reality, I doubt any GT2s ever changed hands over mid 2s. Don't believe the hype folks.im very happy with my rocket ship $17k Mazda track car that is never going to be worth a lot and I can drive HARD and not give a shit.there is space in the garage for the next P car. heres hoping I don't buy well and see the value increase.....cos that would be a disaster.??

DJM Posted 25July, 2017 Report Share Posted 25July, 2017 ^^ can't be a genuine RSR at that price? I could see myself punting that through Reefton spur on an SMT. My kind of hotrod - not neat and pretty singer but hard core. And apparently it goes like a "scalded ape" . I assume that's faster that a scalded cat.?? A$150k at the current exchange rate.
