the seals will be shot, as will the bushings, and the interior, and the plastics....the huge premium is not worth it for an SC.

you have to remember, the second you put any significant milage on it...you loose 70% of your investent.

but its still a nice car

It's an '87, so it's a Carrera 3.2 with the G50.

And the car has been kept in a climate controlled environment...aka, out of the sun, so the interior avoided the UV light...which is what kills interiors. I'm sure the interior has been carefully kept as well. The bushings I can't claim to know about...

The car looks brand new. The guy who kept it probably thought of all that. Then again, maybe not. But the interior is definitely flawless.

And who says I wanted it as an investment? I wanna buy it and drive the fucker...it's a brand new Carrera 3.2!! Hell, I'll buy new bushings and pop 'em in if need be.

you noob! if you need $65K, you ask for $75K. tongue_orig.gif
how much was the Carrera 3.2 new? $65K sounds like a lot for an 18 year old 911.
clarkma5
The Carrera 3.2 cost about $50k + options new in 1987, I believe.

Damn, this bastard is also selling two PRISTINE '94 928 GTSs...

Black automatic: http://mall.rennlist.com/scripts/featured/...query=retrieval
moe89
even those 928's seem to cost too much to me.
clarkma5
They only made a few hundred GTS 5-speeds and both of these examples are EXTREMELY low mileage and are just flawless inside and out.
moe89
ohhhh. see i wouldnt have been able to ascertain that fact by just looking at them...
it seems like if they are that rare, that they would be worth a little MORE.
clarkma5
Well, there are a lot of 928s to pick from...so it's not like the model is rare. Just this trim level. Hell, if you want a late-model 5.4 liter 928 you can get these with automatics semi-easily. It's just the 5-speed GTSs that are a bitch to get your hands on.
moe89
why did they make so few manuals?
clarkma5
Because the 928 was too expensive in its last years, so it didn't sell very well...and it was a GT car, so they sold mostly automatics anyway. It competed against the Mercedes SL and BMW 6/8 series instead of sports cars.
Jordan
only 64 and 21 .... god damn. those hit around the 996 GT1 for rarity. dayum... that 911 is MINT.
McKhaos
That car is so 80s.
leif
I ahve heard that the 5 speed in the 928 is craptastic (excellence points this out every time they do a market update on the 928)
clarkma5
They're talking about the problems on the pre-'87 single plate clutch...the newer dual plate 5-speeds are fine.
Jordan
so its cool you guys are talking about this like you are going to buy it. thats cool.

I dreamt about 993 Turbos last night. Specifically, I dreamed I flew to Houston to look at a white one with beige leather but it turns out they had one with lower mileage that was silver over red leather and it was like wub.gif at first sight and I bought it and shipped it home biggrin.gif
White RSX
Gay people ship cars tongue_orig.gif
clarkma5
It wasn't registered, smart ass. My dream covered this point mad.gif
Renesis
there's no way I'd pay that much for that, I'd rather get a used one.
leif
I was fucking around in a friends resteraunt the other day, and i dropped the couch close to this old drink machine which hasnt been used in a decade...and a 10 year old root beer fell out...it had an entry form for a contest with a close date of december 1995...i havent drank it yet, but its cool having a root beer that old.

so i can understan the apeal of having a brand new SC

and i believe a 928GTS was on the wrong side of 90k new, wasn't it?
clarkma5
I don't think they were that expensive...but they were in that ballpark. Load it up with a few porsche options and you might've seen $100k on 'em?

I dunno...I'm just talking out of my ass tongue_orig.gif

The house those cars are parked outside looks like the house Johnny Depp lives in, in "Blow" (2001). I cant find a picture to prove this so i suppose you will have to just remember.
