Porsche Valuation Assistance... calling the Boag etc!!

[r10crw]

Just spoke to a mate whos also after one of these ( but not in black, fussy sucker) but he reckons 13.5 is about right. Does it have a sunroof?

Least favoured of the marque
A Carrera 2 or 2S is more loved
Carrera 4 tends to be a bit more of an acquired taste as far as the handling stakes go.
(An understeerer unless booted into a corner)
I would value it £1500 behind our European Sales Manager at Lotus at £13500 for a private sale
New engine or not it's still valued at the ODO milege - Graeme is obviously in a good mood with a large Balvenie in his hand
The good news is that a replacement engine is around £10k at dealer prices
(One of the longest running threads on Pistonheads is about 911 engine failure)
If you want an appraisal done, contact Stuart at SP Autobahn in Stirling.......Stuart does them for Peter Morgan,

Your a cock! ..............and what you know about car valuations you could write on the back of a postage stamp........and still have room for the entire Holy Bible

Colour's decent and Spring is coming

And you're 10% meaner than me, no change there then - you can take the boy out of Creiff etc etc

Just drove it.




If that's what £15k buys you.... I'm having one.

Awesome.

Shame he won't sell me that one now....

He won't sell you it as he's seen you drive it

50p say he puts a chrome wrap on it.

[Lazydonkey]

He's going through a tweed phase. Think chrome would clash.

There appears to be a lack of good 15k 996s on pistonheads and auto trader just now..... Grrr

The hunt is on.

[rossybee]

Dave - do you still have highlights in your hair?

Does that not imply that "good" 996s are more than £15k ?

[DDtB]

Well according to this thread..... Kev's is only worth 13.5.... And I can confirm it's a good one.

Can't find any with the same spec and miles for that price though.

[Scotty C]

How much does he want for it and how much are you willing to pay?

[DDtB]

He's refusing to sell now.

I think he'd probably let it go for 18... But he'd really want 20 do he can get an xkr.

At 15k its not worth selling. Too good a car to sell that cheap.

Can't believe I've heard them described as nothing more than a fast BMW type thing. Felt a lot more special than that to me. Totally different driving experience to a fast saloon or hatch.

[DDtB]

Haven't really got a set budget in mind.

At 15k... A 996 like that is a no brainer.

If you start getting up to 20k for a 996... Then a 25-30k 997 starts to look like the better option. Then you're nearly at 996 GT3 money though.

Gotta draw a line somewhere... Don't really want a 30k Porsche for daily commuting and stuff.... Would care too much about keeping it mint. A 15k-ish one though... He'll yeah.

Boxster would be more your style Dave?
