rminc Posted 25February, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 25February, 2018 I don't really like the colour combo enough to jump on it. If the interior wasn't tan, I might have made a move. The right car will come up eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bear924 Posted 25February, 2018 Report Share Posted 25February, 2018 I'd be off to look at this one: https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-911-Carrera-1988/SSE-AD-5202554/?Cr=6 It might be in WA however transport isn't that much and it looks tidy to me. Being a late G series you get the larger vents, different gearbox and all the other upgrades they made along the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they removed the rubber build up under the rear arches, as it smoked up real nice in 3rd! ?

I also got a good vibe from David @ Richmond's when I first went there to window lick some cars a few months ago (looked at an old 911 for a friend). Nice guy, no pressure sales B.S and knows his classic cars. Met Carlo on Saturday, and he's also a nice bloke and well versed with classic cars. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone Bluegus73 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike-S Posted 26February, 2018 Report Share Posted 26February, 2018 Carlo was the bloke we met when we called in after the motorsport festival, took a few photos of my car and for a salesman was interesting to talk to. Seemed pretty genuine. Bluegus73 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rminc Posted 10July, 2020 Author Report Share Posted 10July, 2020 Hi, guys reviving this thread again. Have started actively looking again. Ideally after an 87-88 or 3.2 911 Coupe, which must be Aussie delivered. Will consider earlier 3.2s and SC's also, but would need to be Aussie delivered coupes also. If you know of anyone selling, or are considering selling let me know. I'm in no rush. Happy to wait for the right car. Dalai 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rminc Posted 10July, 2020 Author Report Share Posted 10July, 2020 100k would be the top for an SC. That's just me though. Others might pay more/less Tips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you do everything at glacial speed?😀 Haha, to be honest I'm glad that I haven't purchased one yet. Financially speaking I'd have been worse off. I purchased an NSX instead a few years ago which I recently sold for a decent profit. The 911s I'm looking at haven't really moved in that time. I'd love to buy one, which is why I'm looking. My hearts saying yes, but with the economy, my heads saying hold off. I think prices will either remain the same or drop, I don't really see any upside in rushing. If anything time should be on my side, but who knows. Peter M 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugh Posted 10July, 2020 Report Share Posted 10July, 2020 Nobody has a crystal ball. Might as well buy sooner and enjoy for longer. Markets go up and down, I highly doubt members on here have all of their money in cars. Small losses here will be offset by a gain elsewhere, net result is your still doing ok. Let’s say you pay an extra 5-10% today on a 100k purchase that you intend to use and enjoy over the next 5-10 years. If it’s the “right” car it’s no big deal. Money comes and goes, good opportunities are somewhat less frequent. If you look at everything purely on an economic or “investment” driven basis your missing the point. Just buy the damn thing, enjoy it, use it and make some good memories in it. Priceless. michel, Cheshire Cat, Fishcop and 9 others 10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
550Spyder Posted 10July, 2020 Report Share Posted 10July, 2020 I haven’t looked at 3.2s for ages, can you really find tidy Australian 3.2s for sub $55k? not looking to start a slamfest on what they are vs what they should be worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The enjoyment it has given me in that time far outweighs the potential loss of a few dollars! luzzo, hugh and Dreamr 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d highly doubt it. Whilst the market may have flattened it’s not gone that far backwards. I’d expect the baseline for a “good” 3.2 to be circa 80k. Anything below that would be a big win.
