I've just bought some poverty Pork…

MOT history looks quite nasty before the new engine. Since than though, looks quite neat. 10k is just the sort of money I would pay for any 996 to be honest, anything more than that a bit too much.

Think it looks great!

I would generally say you'd struggle to get a half sorted 996 for £10k, but it seems that prices have softened for them a fair amount of late?

C2

Ok I see this has been mentioned....

It is an auction so it could quite easily rise from 10k. Who knows.

£13,250.00

From Ad


It went to Hartech early in my ownership for a comprehensive engine rebuild including
-- Upgraded IMS bearing,
-- Low-temp thermostat,
-- Re-rounding of bank 2 cylinders with new cylinder lining, pistons and closed-deck conversion.
That was 40k miles ago and the engine feels stronger than ever.

No mention of bank 1.........

I bet that rebuilt costed more than 8 grand. I mean that's the sort of mechanical condition of these cars just put people (or me mostly) off essentially. Quite expensive for what they are.

I quite like Savannah on the 9x6 with all the black interior bits but on the 9x7 with all that silver it looks sheet.

Mine has grey interior, owned it for 10yrs & still like it but looked at that pic & thought 'that looks ste'!

Mine has the grey trim, it's like sitting in a 1990's slip on shoe

Shame about the Targa and grey, why does no one get a hartech rebuild on a nice manual coupe (and then sell it super cheap )

Historics sold prices on their results page usually include the buyers premium. £5040 for the Boxster divided by 1.12 gives a top bid of £4500. They include the VAT element too (most auction houses don't) but there's finger trouble or maths errors in place because dividing some of these by 1.12 reaches a bizarre figure. The £16k for the track car doesn't calculate to a round amount either so I'd presume it's a sale total reached after negotiation following a provisional bid. Unless they haven't added the 10% on, which is possible.

To take off the vat divide by 1.2 not 1.12. Vat is 20%, not 12%.

I've got a receipt for £5850 from Hartech for that sort of job but that was just there price, on top of that was the cost of my indy taking engine out, crating it up, shipping it down & then building it all back up again.

Just buy a nice manual coupe. Wait for it to go pop and then take it to hartech yourself?

I'd buy the manual coupe and the targa and swap the engines over.

Some evil bd would do this and sell the Targa with the engine rebuild receipt in its history!

I suggest you do some homework, or at least read the T&C on classic auction houses.

In the one in question, they charge 10% buyers premium and then 20% VAT on that charge. Therefore the full buyers premium is 12%. To get to the actual bid minus this full charge you therefore divide by 1.12.
