Boxer Posted 17February, 2015 Report Share Posted 17February, 2015 Yeah no kidding.. jump on it, I would be VERY surprised if its even still available despite being just listed... you need to be on the phone right now Sorry I'm not sure if you were agreeing or being sarcastic?? Bugger its already gone RMINC, hence why I said to jump subject to PPI as they really are in demand and that was probably underpriced if its as good as it looks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgy Posted 17February, 2015 Report Share Posted 17February, 2015 Serious, obviously... It's serious business buying early 911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rminc Posted 18February, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 18February, 2015 Ye but would like something standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 18February, 2015 Report Share Posted 18February, 2015 Well, set up your alerts and get a comfy chair - the 911 hunting game requires patience and timing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rminc Posted 19February, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 19February, 2015 Ye, going to be hard to match the last one though. Perfect year and decent kms. Disappointed I missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC78 Posted 19February, 2015 Report Share Posted 19February, 2015 Are you looking on all the official Porsche Club sites for each state? The for sale sections often have some interesting cars. If I was looking I'd be emailin all the clubs, try and get one befor it officially goes to market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rminc Posted 19February, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 19February, 2015 Yes, I have had a look and sent emails out. Don't think there are may people interested in selling at the moment unfortunately. Maybe I am a bit late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugh Posted 19February, 2015 Report Share Posted 19February, 2015 Yes, I have had a look and sent emails out. Don't think there are may people interested in selling at the moment unfortunately. Maybe I am a bit late. Not too late to buy, you just need to be very actively searching and be ready to go. Also, expect to pay a price for the right car as if you don't someone else most likely will. I'm guessing you've upped your budget then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rminc Posted 20February, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 20February, 2015 I'm using the white one that just sold as a benchmark, so anything with around 150-175kms I would be willing to pay upto 47k which I think is reasonable?? If they come up any higher than that I wont be too upset about missing out. My search will continue for a little while longer. I will do what you suggested and contact local workshops aswell to try and be as active as possible but I don't think I have the patience to wait a year.

hugh Posted 20February, 2015 Report Share Posted 20February, 2015 If you can pick up a clean/straight one like the white car for sub 50k you'd be doing well, that looked like a really great buy - shame you missed it. Hang in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rminc Posted 20February, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 20February, 2015 I have contacted Melbourne based workshops including; autoart and weltmeister. Anyone one else worth calling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugh Posted 20February, 2015 Report Share Posted 20February, 2015 Harrisons RRR Motion Automotive Cairns Weissach Sport Jocaro Probably others, but they are the main ones that come to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rminc Posted 20February, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 20February, 2015 Contacted all besides; Motion Automotive and Weissach Sport. Will try them again later. Also have a WTB on the PCV site. Think that is all i can do, so here on out is just a waiting game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveF Posted 20February, 2015 Report Share Posted 20February, 2015 You could also put a WTB on the Porsche sites for other states to spread the net wider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
withers Posted 20February, 2015 Report Share Posted 20February, 2015 Yeh and also try Rob Raymer at RSR Garage and even the Healey Factory. You'd be surprised what cars they know about that the owners might part with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 20February, 2015 Report Share Posted 20February, 2015 I don't see Autohaus Hamilton on your list? They do get early cars through and, while I've been told they don't do preferred lists, they do have an email list I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do get early cars through and, while I've been told they don't do preferred lists, they do have an email list I think. Yes, sorry - my list was VIC located only. Autohaus Hamilton is definitely worth a try if your extending your search, many more places outside VIC if you prepared to travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G5032 Posted 20February, 2015 Report Share Posted 20February, 2015 Sean and Zig at CCMPS usually know of air cooled customers if there's that are selling.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rminc Posted 20February, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 20February, 2015 I have sent through an email to CCMPS, fingers crossed. Thanks I will also look into Autohaus Hamiltons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgy Posted 20February, 2015 Report Share Posted 20February, 2015 You need to search the whole East coast and even SA IMO. Drop a line to Don Munro in QLD... he's a nice fella with plenty of contacts PS - buying a local car is boring... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugh Posted 20February, 2015 Report Share Posted 20February, 2015 There is also a wanted section on this forum - that's putting it out to the entire world! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rminc Posted 20February, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 20February, 2015 Done, think I will just relax now, wait for an email and keep checking carsales. Not going to hold my breath though. Does anyone have the exact numbers of Aussie delivered SCs and 3.2s sold between 78-89? Would be interested in seeing exactly how slim my chances are.
