996 turbo 30k miles for circa. £15k

[911tom]

Been watching this for the last week. I was going to buy it as other than the obvious I suspect it could be a good car. I set myself a limit of £14k and it will exceed that what with the fees. It is identical to mine except very low miles. If it was cheap enough I was going to buy it to fix and sell or possibly in place of my current turbo. As I'm not going for it thought I'd share!

Looks like it was a very well looked after car before hand.

Worth a purchase at £14k but i suspect it will go for a bit more.

I'm surprised it never got repaired by its previous owner.

Hmmmm...

A pair of new wings, front bumper and pair of new doors.

A full set of new wheels.

Whatever needs replacing under the bumper which is in a bit of a state.

It also mentions rear suspension damage.

Then it'll need paint.

Doesn't look like a cheap job to me, especially as it's on the register now.

I've not looked so I don't know how much 9*6 doors are on flea bay these days, or gen 2 front wings for that matter, but if you can get second hand parts then it would make the job cheaper I spose...

You been to see it in the flesh, Tom?

I did have a quick look on eBay all the parts seem to be available for sensible money. I'm sure Jin (hsc) will have some wheels.
No not been to see it. Thought up to £14k I'd take the risk.

Might be worth a punt

Parts are readily available , probaly 6-7k fix diy

 

[Manic996t]

looks to me like it would need to have the front end jigged, strongly suspect chassis damage.

deffo repairable- if it was a manual i'd probably put a bid on it

I would say £10k to put it right properly inc. parts if your paying a good repairer to do the work to high standard

 

[HSC911]

Yes I do Tom. Lots!

That's worth a punt, problem is I only have an hour and a half to tell the Mrs!

Anyone got a BCA account? I want to bid on that yellow GT3
