asgraham Posted 27October, 2015 Report Share Posted 27October, 2015 Due to unforseen circumstances we are putting our beloved 964 C4 Cabriolet for sale. Though the reasons are many and varied, at the end of the day we are left with no other option. I really do not want to go through the Carsales tyre kickers and we would much prefer to sell it to a like minded enthusiast here on PFA. Those of you who have personally seen the car know how much it is has been pampered and looked after in it's lifetime. We purchased it from Auto Haus Hamilton just over a year ago and I have always had it stored securely under cover. We have put just over 1000kms on the car since owning it.Details: 1990 964 Carrera 4 CabrioletRed with Black Interior5 Speed ManualApprox. 74,000kmsHong Kong Import with service receipts for gearbox and engine work. Being an import, it has the Turbo electric front seats and clear indicators.All the electrics work correctly, including head and tail lights, wipers, rear spoiler, central locking, indicators, dash lights etc.Two original Porsche KeysNew roof which works perfectly with no leaks, (I was caught out in decent shower once on the Brooklyn SMT)Air Con compressor is new, however the mixing unit (PN. 964 624 324 00) is faulty and has been bypassed temporarily.The paint is in good condition and has several layers of wax on it, personally put on lovingly by myself.The engine runs well and pulls as strong as expected.Aftermarket Alpine CD player with old style IPod adapter cableAlthough the spec is the less desirable of the 964's it's still an air cooled classic that will only increase in value. We hope to have a P Car back in our family in the near future and I will still be following this forum with great interest.Please PM me with any questions and I am more than happy to provide detailed pictures to interested parties on request. I have had limited success with attaching pictures to forum posts.The car is located in the Hunter Valley NSW.RegardsAdrian and Simona Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue964 Posted 27October, 2015 Report Share Posted 27October, 2015 Good luck on the sale Adrian...I'm told the year of the Cab is almost upon us so I'm sure your baby will be snapped up sooner rather than later. Having seen your car in person it is indeed a fine example of a topless 964. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboT Posted 27October, 2015 Report Share Posted 27October, 2015 Good luck with the sale mate. Have you thought about consignment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsujack Posted 27October, 2015 Report Share Posted 27October, 2015 Hope you're back in one soon Adrian, very fair price, should be snapped up in short time, if not maybe back to Autohaus?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted 28October, 2015 Report Share Posted 28October, 2015 GLWS cars are a great thing and porsches are at the top of those great things, BUT they aint the be-all and end-all of stuff that goes on in our liveshope all works out..one thing ive learnt A is that "theres always another car out there and often a better one" you just gotta be patient.. when youre ready to dive back in im sure youll find a beautycheers hughesy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter M Posted 28October, 2015 Report Share Posted 28October, 2015 Have you thought about consignment? I reckon that approach has a lot of merit Mr T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAX57 Posted 28October, 2015 Report Share Posted 28October, 2015 A very fair price Adrian, makes it a easier to own another P car. It must be very difficult for you.The other alternative to Autohaus is the Classic Throttle Shop North Sydney. I believe they charge between $8-10k but the exposure is global. just a thought.cheersJack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michel Posted 29October, 2015 Report Share Posted 29October, 2015 I thought about consignment and have been low balled by the odd dealer; took a deep breath and listed my car on carsales. hasn't been as painful (so far) as my bulging discs GLWS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asgraham Posted 30October, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 30October, 2015 Spoke to Simon from CTS and will be emailing him some details, pics etc and will see what kind of deal he can offer me.As Tom rightly said, they try to charge an upfront fee of $1000 for professional detailing and photos. Then followed by a percentage of the sale, start at 10% and then work backwards from there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugh Posted 30October, 2015 Report Share Posted 30October, 2015 It seems that they are getting that additional premium to validate going down this path.Providing they are actually getting the listed sale price, I don't believe this is always the case though?

Then followed by a percentage of the sale, start at 10% and then work backwards from thereWord of advice, if going down this path skip the detail. It's certainly not what I consider a professional job... and could actually cost you more money to rectify the work, ask me how I know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 30October, 2015 Report Share Posted 30October, 2015 Just my opinion. Youre the seller, they want your cash, so you tell them what you'll pay as a commission , not the other way around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
