ok as per other threads, i'm now watching PH classifieds daily, and starting to look around, but any specific forums or registers worth joining where cars come up for sale privately? or any well thought of dealers who specialise?
cheers

If you're interested in a 964 you'd be well advised to speak to Frank AKA Black Betty over on Rennlist or through the L90 964 owners group on Facebook.
A wealth of information and good cars do change hands under the radar between members.

Best of luck
similar to the Sunbeam Lotus club then, i got mine without it being advertised anywhere. cheers

Lol a dealer would have picked that up within an hour of it being posted.....

Contact the well known specialists and register your interest, there are 3 or 4 well known / respected JZM, 911 Virgin, etc.....

911uk but members cars on there tend to go very quickly as well.
Tbh if it was genuine and I'd seen it earlier today i think i might have jumped in lol

Based on current pricing that should have been a lot closer to £40k

Assuming its had the usual £5k of stuff done and no HPI stories
Hadnt had a lot done in terms of suspension and engine as it hadnt needed anything according to owner. Potentially might have needed a bit spending but looked cheap

the above keep catching my eye!


seen a few higher mileage cars advertised tho (964 possibly) with mention of top end rebuilds as though its expected above 100k miles, is there generally a need and is it any particular engine?

Both auto's. Hold out for a manual it'll be more fun and be more sort after!
what are the tiptronic like to drive? not that i'd want one particularly, the 6 speed box sounds like the one to have. obviously the autos look cheaper thats all.

For manual cars, 964s are 5 speed, 993s are 6 speed.
its almost certainly gonna have to be a 993 6 speed C2 now i've spent all week looking. its just grown on me. unfortunately it appears everyone is after the same car including all the dealers.

You have just increased values by 2.5% with that statement!
Someone sneezes and 993s go up by the look of it lol

Depends what you're looking for.
This one has had a lot done it seems yet under-priced in current climate?? (no affiliation etc)

edit, just seen you dont want Tip!
My old car, I spent a small fortune on getting it to my liking. Still miss it. I think its under priced IMO
Saw that the other day. Looks sweet but not manual unfortunately. Liked the black painted rims look on it

This is my car for sale. I too think it's under valued but I needed a certain figure to get into an Aston Martin Vantage.

I was offered a low ball figure by a dealer for PX so wanted a bit more.

I've had a few enquires, most of them just time wasters with stupid questions (how much is insurance, what's the lowest price I'll take etc etc etc)

I'm thinking I'll just keep the car I do really like it. I know the tip gets a lot of criticism on here but for me it's 90% petfect.
Traffic around my area is terrible so it is a bliss. I do miss the manual change when I'm hooning around though.
I honestly think someone has missed a bargain with this car.
If it was manual I'd be coming to view. Good luck with the sale

What about this one .... ok its a Targa. which is no bad thing, and only 90K miles and an absolute bargain price if it checks out...... Euros to £ that's around 26K.
Don't write off the interior either. I believe that's 'Chestnut'. It grows on you, and its better in the flesh than in the photos.

Have just sent link to one of my friends in Amsterdam to see if he can have a look at the advert!

this car was mentioned elsewhere i think. i dont like the exhaust tips and its got a half cage fitted although the seller does seem genuine and its not been tracked or raced, the previous owner had one fitted and the carpets sorted around it. i like the colour of the car and it looks very tidy, but probably not the one for me as yet.

Comments like these make me wonder whether you're serious!

Exhaust tips on the 993 can be changed, although it may be a non standard exhaust. A half cage can be removed and sold for profit (all you need to establish is if there is damage where it's been installed).

The comment about not been raced or tracked seems odd as it has a cage.

Are there any reasons other than the above why it isn't for you?
oh i'm serious about buying one, the exhaust tips is just a comment. the cage however would need consideration, if its been welded in. i've been emailing the owner, it has had the carpets cut around it and trimmed professionally apparently. i think a half cage might put off potential buyers, its made me ask the question.

also, i asked the question about track/sprints etc and was assured it hadnt been and the previous owner just fancied having one. it does however raise concerns, as people dont usually do that unless trying to recreate maybe an RSR type replica?
other than that it looks like a very nice car.

But are these your only reservations?

Have you looked at this manual 1996 993 C2 coupe as it would be varioram and the silver/black is a great colour on 993's?

It's also better value than the previous arena red car (which is a marmite colour) giving you more money to sort any issues. Guess it depends on whether you want a low mileage investment car or a car to drive.
for the red car those are the only comments yes. its very nice. the silver car looks beautiful and again, no reservations other than mileage, i have the budget potentially to get something with a little lower mileage, but 94k as such isnt the end of the world.
