JLD Posted 14January, 2016 Report Share Posted 14January, 2016 I had a hard time selling an Audi S5. It was listed for months, and I updated it most days so it remained near the top when Last Updated was selected. I was $10k below the next cheapest (20% less!) and only one person came to see it. I ended up selling it to Duttons :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been 4 weeks! Enough said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James P Posted 14January, 2016 Report Share Posted 14January, 2016 Drop the price to many cars are overpriced, I sold 2 of my p-cars recently one of them on carsales took 5 weeks I just dropped the price every 2 week or so, someone will bite if it's a good car.

Stew F Posted 14January, 2016 Report Share Posted 14January, 2016 I'll give you $40K for it. Or swap for my SC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboT Posted 14January, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 14January, 2016 I'll give you $40K for it. Or swap for my SC. cheeky fu$ker no pricing dropping here after 3 days but times have deffinately changed. But to be fair these cars were cheap a year ago and a lot more players in the market with $50k in their pockets back then. The correction is happening, and I have room to negociate, but no worries at the moment. Might just add another $40k on tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OZ930 Posted 14January, 2016 Report Share Posted 14January, 2016 There are 3 red 964's on the market at the moment, the market is saturated …..and none have been converted to long hoods or had the YOTC conversion.Seriously, the school holiday period is the worst time to try to sell anything, especially a car….nobody is home. Universities are off even longer.Having said that, it can be the best time to buy, for the same reason. No competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlitzKonig Posted 14January, 2016 Report Share Posted 14January, 2016 The market is definetly slowing down. ~1 year ago, youd have zero luck picking up a well priced car, unless you ran to the man's (or woman's) house and threw the cash at their face. So whats changed now? Well the cars back then that had a lot of work were well refined and were allowed to ask a premium. Then the bubble came along, and anyone with an aircooled P-car, immedateily jumped on the "its rare" band wagon and cars that were worth nothing, were now asking what these well refined cars had sold for. Initially, this shocked the market, because people were actually buying them, which in turn, saw more people buy them due to the shock to the system and fear of missing out. Now I think, many have woken up from the dream and realised the hype is all that it was... a hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue964 Posted 14January, 2016 Report Share Posted 14January, 2016 So whats changed now?maybe it has something to do with the fact 18 mth ago you could pick up a really good AC 911 for almost 30% to 50% less than today's asking prices. Maybe folks just aren't prepared to pay the crazy asking prices of today. I love an AC 911 but would I pay circa $100k for a 964--sorry but they just aren't worth that. I could get myself into a 996 turbo for not much more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrevMcRev Posted 14January, 2016 Report Share Posted 14January, 2016 I think the cars that move fast are either the under priced or the ultra-desirable spec.In every other case either the seller is dreamin or the buyer foolish...should the two come together, the car will sell anyway!Aus Del. 964 C2 Manual Coupe = YesDeduct for everything that is deemed (right or wrong) beneath that.Aus Del. 964 C4 Manual Coupe = ...sorry, drop the price.Aus Del. 964 C2 Tip Coupe = ...sorry, drop the price.Aus Del. 964 C4 Manual Cab = ...sorry, drop the price.Aus Del. 964 C4 Tip Cab = ...sorry, drop the price, then drop it some more.Import 964 C2 Manual Coupe = ...sorry, drop the price.Import 964 C4 Manual Coupe = ...sorry, drop the price, then drop it some more.Import 964 C2 Tip Coupe = ...sorry, drop the price, then drop it some more..Import 964 C4 Manual Cab = ...sorry, drop the price, then drop it some more..Import 964 C4 Tip Cab = ...sorry, drop the price, then drop it some more. You bought well and at just the right time, so no need to stress.I think an Aus Del. 964 C2 Manual Coupe is a $80-$100K car depending on condition and other desirability factors etcAll the rest are really $65-75..maybe 80K cars that owners would love to believe are worth more, even though all those owners would have paid a whole lot less for them 12-18 months ago.That HK Del. 964 C2 Manual Coupe has been on the market for how long now???? As beautiful as it looks I think that is Aus Del. money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamr Posted 14January, 2016 Report Share Posted 14January, 2016 The housing market had exactly the same thing happen ....We blught a new house approx 5 months ago, so decided to sell the other one as we had bought in a high market, so we thought we should sell in a high market.Short story ..... I honestly don't believe we would get the same price for our old house if we had put it on the market today.The frenzy in real estate is over and it has turned the corner and become a buyers market. When we sold 5 months ago, there were 5 properties in our suburb for sale, ... now there are 25.Seems the same has happened to the air cooled market.

I could get myself into a 996 turbo for not much more And I was prepared to sell mine and do this exact same thing. Couldnt agree with you more. Porsche was almost always safe from the "wannabes posers", that would gravitate to Ferrari/Lambos for the badge and to me this bubble is representative of non-enthusiasts trying to score big.

TrevMcRev Posted 14January, 2016 Report Share Posted 14January, 2016 But secretly I just wish they'd bring back the days of the $50K 964 so I could hotrod the hell of one!A $100K donor car is a ridiculous proposition.They are pretty cheap in the US. I don't think you'd even pay $100K for one even if you were handing it to Singer!You want $35K USD banger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could get myself into a 996 turbo for not much more Exactly that's it. They are great cars, but when people are sitting on paper increases of 100% for what isn't a rare car in a period of 12-18 months expectations I don't think meet reality.I reckon that most are worth 70-85k maybe, and thats based on the number of cars for sale that are still sitting, and thats okay because most of the owners are into them at much lower price points. The reality is also that its really only the mint/premium low km cars that should/can command top price and premium. There's been a lot of stuff come up for sale over the past 6 months for top $ that isn't worth it. You only need to look at the current 993 TT market and see all the cars advertised north of $300k, none of these are the one's you'd actually want to own. There are plenty of sub <70km mint examples floating around out there that are sitting in peoples garages, it's madness to pay $350-$380k for cars with 90km on the clock when there are much better examples tucked away, it comes down to FOMO syndrome.

Blue964 Posted 14January, 2016 Report Share Posted 14January, 2016 ^^^^FOMO has undoubtedly been a significant driver in the absurd price rise in models that frankly are nothing special and where pumped out in their thousands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zelrik911 Posted 14January, 2016 Report Share Posted 14January, 2016 Hmmm - just for fun, I have been tracking cheaper 996 prices - manuals in non-popular colours. These have been selling fast and the prices are creeping up.However I am in Melbourne and house prices are still accelerating, so maybe the big bust is on the way down south?With the stockmarket tanking; surely there will be some margin-calls by banks leading to P car sales - or has all the funny money gone into real estate?
