The cost of labor is not the issue here. We pay less in the local currency than you pay in USD of GBP. The real issue is expertise and having proper diagnostic skills and tools.
I would have never seriously contemplated Porsche ownership over here without a resource like Rennlist. You practically have to spoon feed some shops around here with proper techniques and diagnosis. Otherwise all you hear is "kereta rosak" or car broken.

Btw Z928328, there are 2 928's for sale. I almost bought one but changed my mind.
One of em is yellow, reg plate: BQ6600 - engine is in pretty good shape. I can give you the guy's phone number if you want.
The car is along Tutong road, at some 2nd hand car dealer.

I test drove a black GTS- KJ 6188 last year- But the price is too high for a 928. 40k!
Another one is the white one I saw on Tamu traders. I'm not sure it's condition.Not so many 928s around here. I saw 2 abandoned at the Telanai workshop somewhere.
Most of the 928s are ex- Amedeo rides I guess. I wonder when's the next "car sales tender" by them.?
Haha ...... what are the odds?! We're a population of 350k ......... But then again, there are quite a number of Porsche's here.

Z - the 928 has been left there for a long time, but I think only going for $10k. If you are willing to spend to get it fixed up, it's not a bad bargain.
For me as long as the engine is intact and working properly, everything else can slowly be solved.
It is at the wooden house with a bad yellow paint job.
$40k for 928 is too high, QAF has 2nd hand 964 and 993's for 40k.

About the 40k 928- yeah he said his car is the "GTS" which is different from other 928 spec - You can see it at the current tamu trader issue. Black one.I know it's the highest spec 928 but 40k is too high
- the condition of the car interior is OK- Engine OK-Dials all worked- except for few things- Stone chipping, the passenger door & side mirror(bubbling paint)- the paint of the door looks mismatch with the rest of the car.The last time I went to QAF was early march this year
- That was to buy parts for the BMW. I saw few nice classic Porsche. I got to check out the Porsche side if any used Porsche for sale.A 933 would go for 40k these days? That's ok I guess.
I saw one at the Michelin tyre shop near gdg properties- he got his 95 933 turbo for 90k- Which I doubt it
How much did you get your 964? is it ex Amedeo ride? If you don't mind telling. Just "Private message" if you don't want the info to be public.

Hello guys, thought I might drop a line since you're the first bunch of fellas I've come across also in Brunei. I'm on the hunt for a Porsche right now, and came across a couple. I'm looking to sell off my car first before I take the plunge though. Looking for a daily driver and I've come across a few 928s as well as older 911s if you're interested, Z.
Wolv, how's the car coming along? I'm still waiting for that ride you owe me
