Plugger2 Posted 3March, 2017 Report Share Posted 3March, 2017 Ahem. Back to the white 951 (before some interloping 928 somehow got past the bouncers at the door...)If I'd bought that car, I wouldn't spend $6K getting the head rebuilt.Instead:(a) Undo lots of plumbing.(b) Unbolt old head. Throw away.(c) Bolt on replacement rebuilt head with a new HG ordered from US shop (e.g., 944 online sell them for $895).(d) Redo lots of plumbingVoila! And I'm sure I'd have *lots* of change left over for other goodies from a $6K budget, even after shipping...If it wasn't a UK car, I'd have been seriously tempted...

Books and service history on Gumtree http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/1140979994?utm_campaign=socialbuttons&utm_content=app_ios&utm_medium=social&utm_source=sms Maybe in a year when there are no turbos to buy on the market he may well get this price...... I still think even getting into the $40's in a little optimistic for a 944 unless it is an Australian delivered Turbo S in the right colour as they are arguably the most desirable and someone with money will "just want it". Mid to high $30's and he would probably sell it this weekend. We said the same thing about the $58k car and it is still unsold. $50k is too much for a 944 right now, any 944 (in my opinion). Give it a year and it may be the average price for one, I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely you could have it in your garage for under 20? Who cares if it's a bit ordinary, it's a Porsche and a turbo!!!!!!! For that sort of money you have to expect to have problems like oil leaks etc etc. if you expect it to be like new, go buy a new car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For that sort of money you have to expect to have problems like oil leaks etc etc. if you expect it to be like new, go buy a new carNot really. I have limited garage space, and a LHD 944 just isn't going to be taking up space in there, even at under $20K.Actually, not even if I had the garage space. Too many nice cars, not enough time!I think a LHD Turbo listed at over $20K is still well over the odds, and the fact it hasn't shifted in all these months (even though a LHD is a challenge to shift in any case) supports that.OTOH, I think given the current strength of the market for more desirable examples, a $50K Turbo S certainly would not be out of the question for a nice example. The thing is, how many of these nice examples are coming on the market to test the theory? And the ones that do come on the market are snapped up so fast that one tends to think that they aren't being sold at their full sales potential. I'm guessing we will be seeing $40-something prices for nice example early Turbos and S2s this year... micknine01 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much info or pics for asking $50k for an '86 944Thttps://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/_/SSE-AD-4596667?WT.seg_4=AutoAlert;PCAA I often wonder if people who only advertise on gumtree, particularly when over-priced, are really serious about selling their vehicles. But if it's on carsales, and costs real money, I tend to think they are more serious.I agree about the lack of pics/info though. Not the way to sell at a premium.

Turbo's and S2's being advertised regularly in the $40k's this year, I'm betting less likely.......... People with those aspirations will see these cars sit here for a loooonnnngg time, then something comes on the market and sells in a day at $30k. You couldn't be serious about a sale to price a turbo or S2 in the $40k's unless it was a turbo S or had something else that made it very special.

Plugger2 Posted 5March, 2017 Report Share Posted 5March, 2017 Then what?If it doesn't sell within two weeks, I'm wrong about my guess of the current market strength for these models.Mind, you, I just noticed the seller is in Ballarat, which is going to put something of a damper on interstate buyers in particular.

You couldn't be serious about a sale to price a turbo or S2 in the $40k's unless it was a turbo S or had something else that made it very special. Given that the last nice example S2 sold for $35K after two days, I don't see $40K+ for a particularly nice S2 or early Turbo as a bridge too far. Turbo S gets a premium on top of that, which is why I think about $50K could be the limit there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
