Help searching for 964!

[mikeacollins]

Hi Guys

Been a member of the club for a few years, don't use the forum often but do enjoy the magazine!

I really do need some help, I'm desperate to do a 964 project, Singer type style crossed with ST looks, so I'm after a car that is maybe a little sorry for itself, blown engine, poor paint.... Happy to have a nice car too, but would prefer to breath life into a sad one! I don't want rust and would love a black one with non working aircon! I really am finding it difficult to catch one (my work does not allow constantly checking PH!)

I'm very much a fan of Porsche, currently have a beautiful 996 Gt2 club sport in basalt black with only 18,000 miles and full Porsche history and original paint..... If I find the right 964 I may be persuaded to part with this for someone else to enjoy (amazing cars, totally misunderstood and a true supercar!)

Anyways please please help if you can, can get me on my mobile 07788976637 feel free to text if you hear or see anything!

Thanks, I promise I'll post pics of the project!

Mike

Good luck with the search Mike. As you know you have to be quick to snap them up. There was a black one on PH classifieds last week, £18K and sold within a couple of days.

 

[mikeacollins]

Yeap.... It actually sold within 2 hours! Really need to get one before it comes on the market I think!!!

This looks good. Doubt it will last long. Lots of good stuff done. Very good price imo

I've heard of two cabrios that are for sale. If you are after a Singer look, I guess this wouldn't interest you. If I'm wrong, let me know.

Your 996 GT2 clubbie is going to go balistic in a couple of years valuewise,i would keep it!!!!!Original ones are uber rare!

Looks like a nice C2 if it checks out...

Yes, that's Raoul's who's on Rennlist. I believe it's a good one. []

Blimey, £24k, are they really going for that these days?

Some are going for a lot more. And it that's not enough there's a GR 964RS up for sale at the moment for £99,990!!!

Perhaps the £18k value I estimated for the insurance is a bit on the low side.

I still need to send off the condition form and pictures for the agreed valuation but I'm sure they'll use my £18k estimate as a starting point and come up with a figure near or below that. A bit like they do with house prices!

I don't image for a minute they will say, nope you are wrong, its' actually £25k.

Send the Porsche club form and photos to Steve Kevlin for a valuation. Mine was valued by him at £19K last year (which has a lot to do with the high mileage, 180K). However, even in a year the prices have moved up a lot because of the huge recent interest. 964C2 coupes often sell within a few days at the moment.

Makes you wonder when you see prices of 996 Turbos coming down though.

 

[ras62]

19k Steve. Mmm...Cost to replace given the work done? I think you would find it virtually impossible to replace for 19k tbh

 

[JamesBall]

Any Indie you speak to at the moment has customers looking for a 964 C2. It is mad.

You are of course correct Sir! Even if it were valued at £30K I still wouldn't get back all the money spent on it. However, the replacement cost would not be an issue for me because if it suffered a total loss, I wouldn't replace it with another 964.


BTW in case anyone looking in on this thread forgets, it's about finding Mike a 964....sorry for taking it off track Mike!

Just as an update, I've just had the insurance agreed valuation back for my car and instead of the £18k I'd estimated they've said it's worth £25k so really pleased. It's cost me an extra £47 on the premium but I figure it's worth it for the extra £7k of cover.

When I sent the valuation form in I did suggest on it that my £18k could be on the low side so it's good they've taken the time to properly work out a realistic figure.

Whether I'd actually get £25k for it if I came to sell it is another matter but at least I know if it's written off that's what they would be paying out to me.

Now got to work out if I want to trade up to an early GT3 !

Was that a club valuation Richard?

I'm beginning to think I should get mine properly valued for my renewal coming up in the new year, currently I have it insured for £15K but it sounds like it should be a few grand more than that.

Hi Colin,

It was a valuation from Classicline as part of the insurance agreed valuation process.
