But guess people have to start somewhere. I did it last year when selling... I took a break for a month or two, as I realised it was me who wasn’t ready to deal with it... once I got my head space sorted and better presented the ad, the car sold right away, it turns out the buyer was “watching it” and got FOMO once he thought it sold, so when it was re-listed he wasted no time getting the deal done. No marketing genius, but what’s that old cliche about timing? 😎 1 DJM reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spiller Report post Posted 17January I have to say it turns me off as a buyer but I can see how it can a very useful tool. Evo is sold now, I’d like to be in a 996 GT3 come mid year. If Mr. RS becomes a bit more motivated I will be interested. I’m not prepared to be that guy who lowballs however. If anyone knows of a CS for sale, hit me up! 1 hugh reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey @cafe_racer, Must be while since you've been on the 996GT3 thread, it's been talked about for quite some time. Was first listed for sale about April last year (2020). Interestingly, although removed from Carsales, I've noticed it's still on their website: https://www.lorbek.com.au/prestige-cars/details/2000-porsche-911-1021266_326812 Worth a call..? 1 cafe_racer reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember this one, I love the pricing approach of just putting a big number on it and waiting for the market to one day come and reach your asking...Which maybe is what Rusty is doing here! 1 luzzo reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is the owner on these forums? Don't believe so. This was for sale about 12-14 months ago when I was looking for a car, but disappeared before I got the chance to look at it. Same photos in the current CarSales advert. From memory the owner is a Golf Pro, and he owned the car when he was living in UK. Presume the usual "Dirty Rotten Import" discount would apply... From memory it may have been listed last time at $115k????? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ha, all of us looking at the advert has prompted the "Interest is increasing on a saved car" email already, only 10 minutes after I saved it 🙂 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GTP911 Report post Posted 27January Looks a great car/bargain if all checks out, p.s. same price ($125K) as last time listed Nov 2019, travelled only 1500KM since. p.s. last MK1 to sell (on carsales) was a NSW dealer black 996.1 GT3 for $179,000.

spiller Report post Posted 27January yes Richard Green was who I was thinking of. Races a 996 Cup in Europe. I'm not really after a MK1 but looks a decent example. Whats the penalty for an import? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Far less than what this is advertised at I may be a little ignorant of GT3 Pecadilloes , though I would have thought the Limited build number in RHD makes this easier to ignore the UK import palava - and deal.with how it actually presents 2 spiller and firstone reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cam Arnott Report post Posted 27January No longer available - Very good buying there I would think. Given the very limited RHD numbers and how many people seem to be on the hunt for one at the moment, I agree the UK import issue may not be the such a barrier for these.
