in the real world that's worth half of that........

Wholeheartedly agree but can you realistically buy them for half that in the real world? I almost had an argument with the vendor when he told me how much it was. I thought £70k but thats another concourse winning car he hasn't put up for sale with approaching 60,000 miles! WTF

Must be a complete nightmare sourcing correctly priced stock in this climate. Do you mind me asking what you sold her for? Never seen it like this out there. People say market for higher end stuff cooling but the lower end run of the mill cars are commanding bonkers money.

[fergus]

Is this therefore cheap?

Never buy a 911 from someone who does not know the difference between Carrera 3.2 and SC 3.0, well not unless its going cheap which this is clearly not.

It is becoming really depressing. Good cars are drying up, a lot of ill prepared cars out there with
other dealers, and in truth these are essentially and generally neglected cars that have had a few quid recently
spent in an attempt to join in with the big prices. Very few cars are actually sound, almost all of the air
cooled stuff needs a lot of work, rotting chassis that have been blown or flicked over, and leaky engines.
Not all of it I might add, however keeping a classic Porsche now is quite a responsibility to be taken seriously
with respect to servicing and cleaning, and a Supercar, well that's akin to looking after a pet if you want
to do it properly..

Porsches under 25K are where the boom is now, 996s are on the up, all of them, you cant even get a decent 944
or 968 for sensible dough....Although I do confess to having a good couple of them currently, and had to fight to
buy them.

What terrible, lazy, photographs and narrative.

Properly presented, photographed and described, then it could be fair value. Although, the light interior and lack of Sports Seats (unless I'm mistaken) will put some people off.

Contacted JD Classics on this lovely 1978 911 turbo (not sure what LM stands for). Its been restored so expected it to be in region of £75 to £100k tops as LHD. £335,000

So asked what the 1983 MB 500 SL (again restored not original) standing next to it was up for. £125,000

Seriously £90,000 for a low miles 3.2 G50 from HK with no sports seats and £335,000 for a 1978 911 turbo which is a truly awful drive (i realise there's more to it than how it drives but for me thats more important than looking amazing).

Its not even amusing any more. I shall refrain in the future. Certain dealers like JZM and 911V keeping it real but even dealers we've bought from in the past like Hairpin have lost the plot IMO. JD Classics some fantastic stock but living in la la land on their more run of the mill stock.

The point is that these two dealers have an impeccable reputation and turn stock over pretty quickly. One may not like it, but they are where the market is price wise for the type of top quality vehicles which they sell. (I have no connection at all with either!)

[dugsud]

There are some dealers that are sensible....Gmund have a Turbo for under £65k

Agreed they're good guys but even in current market that red Carrera G50 worth £70k to £75k tops not £90k. Same with JD's lovely 930 - its mint in one off colour but restored which I hold against it so £150k if you have more money than sense but personally I'd see it £100k not £335k. There's a tipping point where even dealers with fantastic reputations like theirs start making themselves look like chops.

Ha. There was no 930 LM as far as I'm aware. There was a 924 Le Mans.

May be the first 930 was launched as a celebration to their turbocharged victories at Le Mans but thats about it. Tenuous to say the least. On that basis you could call every 930 an LM lol. I'm no longer looking in the classifieds. My fave hobby ruined.

Will have to stick to building models of them for now lol

I had an interesting conversation with Hairpin on the G50. When the owner told me the £90k price I said the 964 C2 he sold us with similar miles must also be worth the same money if not more as there were far fewer made. You should have seen the back tracking lol 964 C2 not perceived to be quite as reliable or sought after at the mo lol but maybe in a few years.

I agree mental to the point its starting to become irritating. I have no problem anyone asking whatever they want but keep it real guys as its bordering on mis selling especially when they talk about great investment opportunity for the future blah blah blah. As i said earlier the word chop springs to mind but can be replaced with many others as you please

[Geneve]

I just bought an '89 G50 Coupe for £80k, which I intend to use fairly regularly during BST.

[Adam B]

Not irritating me as such. I guess in a small way I have benefited, my 997.1 manual turbo is probably worth a couple of k more than I spent on acquiring+getting in tip top nick. Would be delighted to sell for net zero in a couple of years, as I just wanted a car that wouldn't lose me much.

However I am getting to the point of looking forward to the burst bubble and all the ensuing egg on faces, which is rather uncharitable of me I guess

Whats the spec mileage? Be nice to see a pic and how many miles a year do you intend to cover in her?

[diametric123]

Just to add to the earlier conversation, as someone in the used car business I would say its certainly unhelpful (and probably illegal under trades descriptions) to say something is a 'guaranteed investment / prices can only go up'
