Blue 964 turbo

[Redeem]

What do people think about this blue 964 turbo 3.3 ? For me, it ticks all the right boxes except maybe for the spoiler. I would be grateful for any constructive comments or expert views.

I know there is one also for sale at Gmund but despite several voices messages and e-mail they never came back to me so I assume theirs has now been sold

Thanks

This car was up for sale for £30k in 2008 so find out if its had much use since then. Think miles were about the same but I could be wrong. Just make sure it hasn`t sat still for the last few years

Not a fan of the rear spoiler and the 993 wheels but these can be reverted back to stock at a cost so factor that in.

Best to go check it out and get a PPI if you are keen.

Thanks i have been told the car was driven approximately 5000 miles over the last 3 years.
How much rougly cost the spoiler if i have to revert it back to stock ?

[porkey]

£40k?

I am sure that this car has been around Yorkshire for quite a while and I am pretty certain it was well looked after by a PH member.

Edited to add that it is probably worth asking in the Yorkshire section as I am pretty sure that it is a well know car. link here

I'm 99% sure this was one of the feature cars in an early Total911, around 2006/07 time. It had bucket seats back then as well. I met the then owner and he was REALLY anal about it.

Was a nice but very acquired taste for a 3.3turbo (or 965 as some of you like to call them!)

Complete with oval wheels!

Your right. I remember it now. Didnt Vicki Butler-Henderson sign the back of one of the seats or something.
It was quite a few years ago now so just make sure all the money wasnt spent early in its life. Its always good to see the new owner has kept up with the annual service/oil changes etc and not just done things based on mileage.

Yep, thats the one or V.B.H. as I remember him referring to her as!

I have contacted the seller and it seems that he has serviced the car every year (although I did not ask to see any invoice). It looks a really nice example although I am not too keen on the spoiler but I suspect this is a minor point.

If you don't mind me asking.. what are all the right boxes for you? Unless this is a must have colour I don't see the draw for you at 40k?

I was going to suggest Nigel's car for that money.. but I see he has sold it!

[Err Indoors]

Certainly not worth 40k IMO
early 30's tops, then i think its pricey.
Just looks all wrong.
Nice colour though.

The car has been very well maintained and it had an engine rebuilt a few years ago. I am tempted but the spoiler is what stops me. The seller also seems very honest (although I had little contact with him).

[Crimp a Length!]

Sorry not for me.
There are other examples for similar money.

Yes mine Sold , Was a good lowish miles (60k).

[Sifly]

nice colour.

I'm not loving the front and rear spoilers, or the 993 alloys.

A set of genuine turbo cup 1's will cost over £1000 plus rubber (if you can find any), and I would alow £500 plus for a turbo rear spoiler which will need painting too unless by some miracle you find a good one in the same blue!
