Needs a thorough dewaffling. Fine to detail technical bits, not the rest just muddies things.JonMad wrote: Mon Mar 04, 2019 8:29 amPersuasive.Coaster1 wrote: Sat Mar 02, 2019 12:49 pm My driving pal is selling his 996 C2

Re: The ebay thread
That looks damn nice and appears to be a very shrewd buy for 20K?
Although what's the current forum view on buying a non-GT3 911 with a GT3 bodykit on it? I'm torn...

Looks in good shape that car but its top money for a 3.4.
Good luck to him

That's a bargain at £20k given the condition, upgrades and the work he's had done.

Re: The ebay thread
Even more so at the £18k-something he said he'd take for it, if you managed to read that far down.

Mines had similar work, original albeit rebuilt engine.NotoriousREV wrote: Mon Mar 04, 2019 4:08 pm That's a bargain at £20k given the condition, upgrades and the work he's had done.
I personally don’t think it’s worh that, fair play if he gets it, if so that’s another 5 grand on my asking price

Re: The ebay thread
You could spend £14k for a 3.4 off Autotrader for one with similar mileage, and easily find you need to spend another £4k on refreshing it and it still won’t be as nice or as well specced as this one.Foz wrote: Mon Mar 04, 2019 9:29 pmMines had similar work, original albeit rebuilt engine.NotoriousREV wrote: Mon Mar 04, 2019 4:08 pm That's a bargain at £20k given the condition, upgrades and the work he's had done.

Not on a Scottish Lotus forum, but definitely a long way oop north, could be a good deal - https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre ... 3153896604
Re: The ebay thread
996's are really starting to age well. I hated them when they first came out, but now... Well, the want is strong, and that is a spectacular example.Coaster1 wrote: Sat Mar 02, 2019 12:49 pm My driving pal is selling his 996 C2

This looks interesting. Not sure how effective that top mounted intercooler is going to be without a bonnet scoop...
Also intrigued that it has the Pulsar chassis, but no mention of how it's been done?

Re: The ebay thread
It’s so easy to spend money on them; they’re all at an age where they’ve become rolling restoration. I sold mine at £14k (advertised for £16k, really wanted £14.5k, but I was ‘on the clock’ to complete the GT3 purchase so let it go for £14k). Before selling it I was quoted £1.5-1.8k to tidy up bodywork (repaint front & rear bumpers, driver’s door, front arches rust - I didn’t do the work and opted to sell ‘as is’) and my car had not had any suspension refresh (17 yo, 89k miles) so that could easily be another £2k.Foz wrote: Tue Mar 05, 2019 11:20 amI have extensive experience of spending lots on 911’sNotoriousREV wrote: Tue Mar 05, 2019 12:22 amYou could spend £14k for a 3.4 off Autotrader for one with similar mileage, and easily find you need to spend another £4k on refreshing it and it still won’t be as nice or as well specced as this one.Foz wrote: Mon Mar 04, 2019 9:29 pm

Looking back, I was very lucky to have found the ‘right’ buyer and sold the car within 4 days.
My pal sold the car above for £19k in the end.
Edit to add, these 996s are great for DIYers though if you have the skills, time and space, as my pal, and Sundayjumper etc proved.

Re: The ebay thread
This is lovely and I love the colour combo.
£13850 for a 114k miles car seems rather a lot though.
