XLR8 Posted 15December, 2016 Report Share Posted 15December, 2016 I passed on that one after one phone call. Both interior and exterior sounded dire, and no service record. P plater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrevMcRev Posted 15December, 2016 Report Share Posted 15December, 2016 I were a bit suss on the ad. When posted previously a couple of months back at $8.5K there were more pics and more details.Why would you drop the price, remove photos, and less description if you couldn't sell it last time?Seems more like a gumtree scammer that saved a photo to me.... could be wrong, but I wouldn't be sending anyone $$$ without seeing it in the metal with my own eyeballs.

Plugger2 Posted 15December, 2016 Report Share Posted 15December, 2016 Anyone here buy the Mittagong car? Listed as sold.Didn't take long. Not terribly surprised. Though I thought it might take a bit longer given the location of the seller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB911 Posted 15December, 2016 Report Share Posted 15December, 2016 That looked like a really nice car, great price too if all the service records etc were up to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plugger2 Posted 17December, 2016 Report Share Posted 17December, 2016 (edited) Very tidy interior, late model front end might spoil it for the anoraks, could be a keeper with some negotiating.There looks like there's some damage to the driver's side rocker panel in the first photo. Also, the headlight covers don't sit flush with the nose panel. I'd check carefully for evidence of body repairs that may not be up to scratch.Overall, I feel not as attractive a proposition as the 1988 NA advertised for $15 in Mittagong that just sold -- particularly asking $5K more.Edit: Also something going on with the front of the passenger side rocker panel in pic 13. Rusty car? A dreaded "UK import" perhaps?The S2/turbo nose conversion, coupled with the misaligned headlight panels, has got me thinking it may have been in a front end collision, and the front end "upgrade" was done at that time. It would more sense economically to do it at that time. Just a possible scenario to consider. In any case, I'd be doing a fair bit of due diligence on this one.

And what are the applicable import laws?Edit: 3 speed automatic. DId this model come with a PDK option?About $800 door to door (melbourne) for me. To Bris would add a good wad extra I guess.

I've noticed Carsales sometimes re-sends you notifications of a "new" car after it's been listed for a while... Not sure why, based on something the seller does or some time period I guess.

Everything coming on for sale at the moment seems to be series 1 and/or automatic. Slim pickings indeed.It looks tidy but $14,500 for an auto pre 86, not the most sought after model so it will sit with the rest of them i guess, not bagging the pre 85.5 cars either, just saying they seem to be not as popular as the oval dash.

I don't think so. Too much money. Too much work to change the transaxle for a pre 85.5 to make it worth it.This isn't a just a less popular car it is the least desirable car. Too expensive even for a parts car. Maybe a track car shell, after you change the transaxle.A 924 turbo, one that sold for 10ish, would be a better car. Spend the money adding an intercooler.Too many other cars, and non P cars available which would be much better value!Ops, hope the pre 86 auto listed car doesn't belong to a forum member, if so, I was only joking.

ANF Posted 21December, 2016 Report Share Posted 21December, 2016 Apart from the Dash and power steering I think, what are the major differences, the engines are pretty much the same?This to me seems good value for an auto 944 http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/tolmans-hill/cars-vans-utes/porsche-944/1132875295 I would prefer to drive this around than something newer (no P car) with less character.....
