Looking for a 964 in Hong Kong

[Toobin]

After 2 years without I have broken and am looking for a 964 or something as fun for the HK weekends.

I have found this garage who seem to stock the most: http://www.mymotors.com.hk/

has anyone had any dealings with them? does anyone know of a good 964 (ideally C4 coupe)?

Also, can I use my UK NCD here? does anyone know how insurance works in HK?

Hi mate,

I cant offer any help on the questions you asked, but am generally interested in your predicament due to the fact I have recently bought a 964 C2 and have taken a job in Hong Kong due to start towards the end of next year!

Is the one in their showroom seriously on par with price to the 993? I appreciate its far from Germany but bloody hell... £35k for a non turbo?!

I guess its the price you have to pay but it makes me think about importing mine!

Yeh I know what you mean, I sold my TVR in the UK for what I thought was a good price at, here the only Sagaris they have for sale is $1.4 Million HKD, thats 100k plus!! crazy. I guess the only thing to bare in mind that it is all proportional, you pay more but you also sell for more therefore residual loss is still the same.

I'll keep you posted, I'm off to see some on the weekend, but I think the biggest issue will be finding a manual one.

Have you looked in CAZ Buyer a quick look finds this: http://cazbuyer.my-magazine.me/search_vehicle_deta... or Car8 http://www.car8.com/car/search.html?&keyword=9...

You'll need someone that can read Chinese Google Translate works a bit, a stick wave one is probably best as the porsche auto's of that vintage weere a bit rubbish.

Classic Convertibles in Peel Street will probably do a pre-sale inspection they specialise in Merc, BMW and Porsche. Never spoken to them mind so its not a recommendation but rather some guidance.

Thank Lee, I knew one of the sites but the other is a great help. My colleagues have helped me out, but it seems porsche is universal

I know the garage you mean, they are on the hill by rednaxela terrace. When I source something they would be my nearest european car service place so it may be well touching base early, thanks for the that.

Not so well to be honest ..still looking

There are slim pickings out here and the cars are mostly Auto which I am less interested in. The search goes on but I am considering getting one in the UK and storing it on the off chance of a future return.

As for the property market, I'm no expert but it certainly seems to be slowing down at its peak ... lots of rumours being put around about a slump next year but its hard to tell as it seems most investors here are from Mainland China and the apetite there seems to be growing. The prices currently are so unrealistic that something has to give I guess IMO.
