Jason E Posted 30October, 2016 Report Share Posted 30October, 2016 I see Clive from Caloundra's 968 was just removed from Carsales. PFAer maybe? Wonder what he got given it's condition. I've often wanted to call a seller & politely ask what they sold for to give me an idea of the real market but people often like to keep that close to their chests.

AU924CGT Posted 30October, 2016 Report Share Posted 30October, 2016 Gees Paul are you getting rid of it already?To be up front guys. I puchased this car at a very reasonable price with the intention to sell to make a profit some day. I'm certainly in no rush to sell and more than happy to keep for years to come. And will not officially advertise to sell anytime soon. Furthermore I do own quite a few cars that keep me happy! The S2 is an awesome car and provides plenty of inspiration restoring my 2 924's.

Port 911 Posted 30October, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 30October, 2016 Buy it & put it in storage, not to far to fly for a driving holiday, just to take it for a spin every three or four months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason E Posted 31October, 2016 Report Share Posted 31October, 2016 http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/greenwood/cars-vans-utes/1983-porsche-924-coupe/1128324902I don't want to appear catty but why do people advertise a car & post a photograph of a photograph of the car that is for sale? The logic escapes me. Do alarm bells not ring immediately & say either -SCAM or was that what the car looked like 22 years ago when you first purchased it- dear withering Jesus.or (and I am still being a little catty here)http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/penguin/cars-vans-utes/1988-porsche-944-coupe/1128277523 Spoke to this guy today - actually seemed a pretty nice bloke. I was intrigued because his car is as an auto but had Turbo livery on the back of the car. Owner stated that the car was not a turbo but that the decals were just added at some stage in the past for looks. As I said to another PFA member today adding that to a standard car is like going to a night club in tight jeans with a Lebanese cucumber down the front of your daks - someones bound to be bitterly disappointed when your duds hit the bedroom floor.......just sayin..........

88mph Posted 3November, 2016 Report Share Posted 3November, 2016 Hey Jason, Why don't you check this thing out.

ANF Posted 3November, 2016 Report Share Posted 3November, 2016 @Jason E sorry to go off topic a bit here, still a Porsche, but when you first came here you were looking at a Boxster (and maybe even a 996) to me this would suit your auto/ daily grind need better than an auto 944 and is a much better performing car than such, especially with a 2.7 or even 3.2 engine? They are quite cheap now (starting about 944 pricing) and are most likely still falling in value. Everything else you are looking at now is increasing. Just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason E Posted 3November, 2016 Report Share Posted 3November, 2016 Hello Adam,Agreed. I was initially looking for a Boxster way back at the start (after quickly realizing that the dream of A/C 911 ownership was fast fading). Things changed though when the wife uttered the fateful words in late 2014 & I realized that back seats would be a positive in the future.A 996 would be excellent but I wont be able to afford one till I finish building our house in the middle of next year & know how the finances are situated. I thought maybe an S2, an auto 968 or a 928 might be just the (not to expensive) ticket, and almost was but I missed that excellent S2 recently that was very reasonably priced.I'm still looking at the Boxsters all the time in my nightly searches of all the sites & all the Porsches. (my wife loves this use of my time). Something will come up. I heard someone once say, "It's not a matter of luck, it's just a matter of time".

ANF Posted 3November, 2016 Report Share Posted 3November, 2016 Ah, yes the back seat. Mine gets used a bit by our 5 year old I think now you may need min $20k odd to get into either market (944/ 968 or 928). Have you seen that 996 for not much more?

Have you seen that 996 for not much more?Yes, did see the 996- great price- If only it were closer. WA is just a bit far to travel. A 996 would "solve" my problems admirably. I'd still buy the right Boxster as an interim car for a couple years. Hey Jason, Why don't you check this thing out.

I'm calling it, those days are over.Mate I'm thinking that we are not far away from not seeing a decent 924 sub $10k again, let alone a 944. Prices have settled maybe even dropped a bit at the moment, but all that does is send the good cars back into the garages with covers over them until prices rise again. There are still good 944S2 's out there, I know of two but neither will be sold for less than mid $30k and both owners are patient enough to wait.

Needed a respray and an interior. I didn't take it any further from the call.Did anyone look at the black 83 in Surfers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
