You can visit us in Kohi if you like. You can even bring your loafers and get a coffee at Kohi Cafe. You also generally get what you order in the time you expect it as well. That may be a new experience after the Islands

O2GO

And you can do this every other weekend....

Maxem

Not yet, still hanging on.

Macca

Good point Doug. But I intend to do that at the very least once a week when Im back (and probably a few mid week sneaky solos).

Hopefully I wont have to drive to the big A to have a decent coffee and wear loafers!

Obsessed

Speaking of missing things (perhaps), Macca have you had any feedback from the new owner of your baby?

Seller has other top tier cars as well. All UK imports from the looks of things. Expect someone is making about $60k on the 991 (by my calcs $215ish to land a 991 Turbo S).

Macca - I'll feel for you. I struggled leaving the islands in Japan when I was visiting this year, and I was only there for a week!

Macca

Jake Im not sure on your math. That TM car is Turbo. Assume its old 139K GBP VATQ then landed on road is $250k and margin 30K NZD at asking price?

nzskater

Your math is sound. I'd assumed it was picked up for around £120k. Seems overpriced at £139!

Macca

Jake. Its a brand new delivery miles Generation 2 991 Turbo with a reasonable options list.

Im guessing in NZ if you ordered that car from a dealer you would be paying $350K?

So it is still a 20% saving for someone buying new I guess...

Macca

This should make it simpler to see the difference. Similar option would be around $365K NZD from NZ dealer.

Macca

Michelle. Thanks for asking. Yes the new owner will be at the NITT. Tomas Huppert.

nzskater

I suggest we roll with Michelle from now on

Macca I also didn't realise it was a 991.2. Makes it more appealing. I'd been looking into 991.1 Turbo S as an option, hence my view of figures.

$415k for the gen 2 seems ludicrous given how quickly they devalue!

Macca

Opps. Sorry Michael!

Yes Turbo are one of the fastest depreciating models unfortunately. I would say the average gen2 TurboS would land in with options in NZ around 435K on road...

Maxem

Don't know what you guys are talking about, Pasha is top shelf to me. Going to a Big Chill themed party tonight and I reckon if I took a red G series with Pasha and rolled up in that I would be king biscuit and possibly the best accessorised on the night!

Macca

Your leotard would clash with the Pasha mate. Dont do it...
