Yeah - but it's a 6.1 Mate - they are super special, carved by God himself (aka the motorsport dept), has undsersized brakes, less HP than advertised, no glovebox and the one all the collectors want to own..........

True story - but I had a chuckle too at the value...........

6.2's on the other hand...........well they are $70K tops.............

I'll take a 6.2 if you can source a goodun' at $70k

Macca

I suspect Warwick you will be lucky to purchase any 6.2 GT3 at 70K. Asking for a good one at that price \is probably getting greedy :-)

pcarplayer

I suspect you are right too Macca Though Paul seems to have the inside line, haha

Paul works for long periods on holders of cars he would be interested in buying. A good tactic in this case as the open marketing of the car would have likely achieved a higher price. Maybe the seller didn't care? I can understand that decision if the last few $000 is only achieved by dealing with tyre kickers and wannabes.

The Blue LHD 964 C2 on Trademe has been sold to the UK. It's NZ price is circa GBP 20,000. One of the reasons I think they are price bound in NZ is relative oversupply so we need to export more. Macca, time to get working on the master plan.

Nice dampers, terrible voiceover. This is why you pay a professional... or at least memorize the correct pronunciation of the brand name so that you don't switch back and forth during a one minute clip.

PHG

you just described me there John....

I hate that clip Macca..that's a 996 turbo with full Jandel you breeze past after the sweeper.. Me..!!

I just can't listen to that guy. There must be a school for bad voice overs

I emailed the guy with the white 6.2 GT3 targa car the other day as he had quite a few spares of interest.

I see this is now sold too? Circa $90K? excluding spares - he wasn't negotiable..........

Macca

Pretty sure you were being a gentleman and waiving me by there Phil :-)

Macca

I liked that car and spares package as a streetable GT3Cup type machine and targa hack. I think its was fair buying 85-90K.

I think it has to do with timing the market.

6-12 months ago 6.1 and 6.2 GT3 were only $70-80K - most current owners paid this.

A bit like 6-12 months ago you could get a 7.1 RS for sub $150K, now closer to $200K.

2 years ago we could have all purchased the ex-sultan Red 964 T with only 9K and X50 package for circa $130K, now that car is worth $400K?

We all know Doug immaculately timed the purchase of Lola.

If Matt held out on flicking the 4.0 RS by six months he too may have made another hundie?

Timing..................??

Macca

Paul. for the 9643.6T you are quoting UK prices. Doubt anyone in NZ would pay more than 240K for that car given evidence of local 3.6T sales last 6-12 months...
