Someone's spent a lot of time and effort making that monstrosity too, it's like something out of a bad dream!

Reminds me of folks who facelift 996s to make them look like 997s. Fail.

dreaming!

a lot of people driving a 964 can afford to leave it on the market for 6mths whilst they dream it is worth $50-60K.

they will have about 1 enquiry within the 6 mths.

perfect manual coupe actually sells for about mid-high $40k.

perfect auto couple should be about low-mid $40k.

when there is only 20 cars in total for sale in Australia, you get a lot of dreamers.

actually .. maybe i am wrong .. here is the redbook price ...

1991 Porsche 911 Carrera Manual
Average Private Price+ $36,300 - $43,800
Trade In Price Guide+ $29,000 - $36,500
Average km+ -
Price When New (RRP)+ $165,770

Agree - many of the 964s advertised at top money in oz sit around unsold for ages.

The manual C2 coupes tend to command a premium and sell faster - there is almost a separate market for them.

Actually, from what I can see there is only one such car available on carsales.com.au - a red 1991 with slightly higher mileage (185K kms) but an engine rebuild at 150K kms, asking $56K.

I paid a premium for my car (yes, I know you think I'm mad sml) but it really took me close to three years of looking and a few PPIs to find a good one. I'd kept a log of sales for several months prior, and at that time all the manual C2 coupes with under 100K kms on the clock had sold within 1 month (the Hong Kong/Singapore imports take a little longer than the local ones), with "sticker" prices between $65-80K - actual sale prices uncertain, of course.

The prices of even the C2s took a hit when the 991 was released, but have recovered a little since then. However, the availability of the manual C2 coupes I've noticed in the last six months is even lower than usual - perhaps people are starting to hang on to them.

funny ... you remember our previous discussions!

just dont sell it for 5 yrs and you will be well ahead compared to owning a commodore or falcon.
