Pork Chops Posted 30June, 2016 Report Share Posted 30June, 2016 Ok. Here's the plan. Buy it in the company name. Deregister it so no FBT and no pesky rego paperwork in the post. Store in container at work. Wait for opportune time to announce the 'good' news. Sell to myself at a loss, register and enjoy. Only trouble is the passage of time before it becomes a 'good' time. And the risk of being caught. As this would not be my first offence there would be more than a slap on the wrist...could even be a custodial... Deposit has been taken for the grey 944 turbo...

vinnytang Posted 30June, 2016 Report Share Posted 30June, 2016 (edited) It was me!Flying into Adelaide tonight to drive it back to Melbourne.Australian delivered, originally sold in Melbourne out of Hamiltons. Comes with several thousand dollars worth of spare parts including new clutch, new rubbers, etc. A book worth of receipts over the last few owners.

vinnytang Posted 30June, 2016 Report Share Posted 30June, 2016 Cheers, I think there was a few guys in contention by the time I called at 8am today. Cash up front and picking it up tonight got me over the line in the end I believe. Does anyone have info about numbers of Oz. delivered 944 Turbos? From what I recall there weren't a whole lot...surely there aren't many left now irregardless of mileage or condition?

TAV Posted 30June, 2016 Report Share Posted 30June, 2016 Congratulations vinnytang. Good buy. I spoke to the buyer last night, and put a deposit on it then as well... Agreed price and done deal... So I thought. It's a real shame when you think you do everything right to do a business transaction... But it doesn't work out. It's not so easy, this Porsche buying thing...

It's not so easy, this Porsche buying thing...Hey mate,the seller did mention a few people interstate wanted the car, but it seems like he preferred to deal with a buyer in person. I saw my opening and took it, didn't pay a cent over the advertised price. Wasn't aware that he already took a deposit from another buyer though...reading your post was the first I heard of it.its unfortunate that he agreed to take a deposit from you though and negged out, I've been in that situation before and it's not ideal.as for the drive home, the car didn't miss a beat! A few tiny things that need tidying, but PO definitely undersold the car in the listing, it's in amazing nick! It even has the original service book up to date!

Rob Posted 30June, 2016 Report Share Posted 30June, 2016 VinnyGlad it's turned out well for you and welcome to 952 world! It's a shame that the seller appears to have behaved unfairly but not your fault. Commiserations to TAV on missing out on what seems to be a great car. And Pork Chops, you've been relieved of the potential guilt and perhaps punishment for deceiving your good wife... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANF Posted 1July, 2016 Report Share Posted 1July, 2016 That really sucks @TAV but unfortunately is all too common of late in the Porsche buying world. Used to be only with 911, interesting to see that it is filtering across to the "others" now.Good luck for the future hunt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to be only with 911, interesting to see that it is filtering across to the "others" now.I wanna advertise my GTS and tell the guy who finally calls to buy it 3.5 months after I list it that I've got 'several' other interested parties, and EOI's close in 24 hours.

Well spotted, P-Kay, only pic 11 and a bit of text that I missed, gives it away and I hadn't noticed. Lefty 944Ts would have a limited market...
