RUF 944S For Sale

Purely an observation but roger seems to be one of the calmest...

Excuse my ignorance, but if Adrian Flux valued it at £16k and the other company at £12k then how did you get it to be worth £30k??? Then how did you 6 months later decide it was worth another £5k?

Paying a higher premium has got you a higher valuation, but will Classic Line stand by the valuation?? The Club's insurers (Lockton's) questioned one of my valuations and that was a rare 964 Jubilee and I had to prove why it had that value (National Concours Winner, very low mileage, FSH, Immaculate interior, low owners etc.) and had to send them plenty of pictures to prove this. Once this was seen they then agreed to the valuation of the car.
Has Classic Line asked to see lots of photos and had comprehensive details about the car? If not then I would be asking them to confirm this or heaven forbid the worst did happen you may end up with a major argument regarding the payout.
And how do I know this? Well I used to be the Ford RS Owners Club MK2 RS2000 Registrar and one of my major roles was to value cars accurately and then liaise with insurance companies on the owners behalf if there was an incident, having to prove why the valuation I had given was correct and give photo evidence and detailed notes regarding the car (all kept on file for each valuation I preformed). I also had to show similar vehicles that had been sold to back up the valuations given.

I had a few different types of records, illustrations, photos & documents which were used for the Insurance quotes and PCGB Valuation.

- Website www.924srr27l.co.uk
- 18 page Costing / Excel document / list with every New, reconditioned, and rebuilt component and all the Labour costs and breakdown from 5 different companies, the country of origin and sub categorised into sections EG Brakes, Suspension, Interior etc..
- 50 Colour Photos
- Porsche and Indie Service Stamps / History book

All insurance is a Scam..

Adrian Flux had 2 options either market value + Mods or An agreed Value on a like for like basis of replacing all the listed parts.
Eg: the total cost of the car + all the work was 37K, and from memory this includes the Purchase at 4K which they said could rise and hence in the event of a claim the payout could be more if the vehicle's market value had risen. The other option would be fixed at replacement costs for all the parts, unyet I questioned how they came to 16K then to replace 37K ? not only did they do a Politician thing, (wriggle and not directly answer this!) but also added in the event of a Claim a settlement figure would be presented! Meaning their agree Value really wasn't set in stone at all anyway!

I can't remember who the other one was ? Hastings classic & Modified ? or something anyway they were lower and sounded like although they were advertising for modified vehicles the usual suspects were a different back box and a couple of bucket seats! So they were for sure scared when they saw the extensive documentation and hence their agree value was very low..

I was lucky to find Classic Line who were able to answer all my questions and also confirm an Agreed Value is exactly that.
The Premium was only £100 more than Flux (£350 pa)

Are you a masochist?

 

[944Turbo]

Wow, your a Brave man admitting to your car having service history from what some seem to suggest is a bogus company that was nothing to do with RUF Germany, well done..

I'm sure if you ever come to sell your car, or anyone on here also with this documented history from the UK arm would also refer and declare these 3 letters RUF on any such advert.

Being completely honest it was only seeing the picture of the stamp that reminded me, it was also serviced by Parr motorsport, but other than detailing it in a list of the history it wouldn't even occur to me mention it.

Great idea, you could then join the "nut job club"

???

Its a relatively straight forward conversion, its a similar weight, it provides a reliable unstressed 400BHP, I have spent a lot of time in the past, easing the coupe to around 350BHp and in that state it was fragile for the miles I would like to be putting on it, I have done over 100k miles in it in various stages of modification. It has big brakes, it has recent (in miles) suspension upgrades, etc. etc.

I have the Turbo cab for keeping standard.

And the Turbo 4 pot sounds rubbish compared to a V8 ;-)

 

[graham tompkins]

Sorry Tony, thought you were joking about the LS3 conversion.

 

[944Turbo]

No worries

Yes, I agree craig. I don't get on here too much lately, I have found somewhere else to play (although I will remain a club member). I would just like to say, for what it's worth (opinions are like a55h0le5, everybody's got one), why are you all bullying this poor man?!!? What has he done? Really? I'm shocked! Or, perhaps maybe I'm not really so shocked(I was bullied on here a couple of years ago-remember?)!! This is the Porsche Club of Great Britain forum, a place of supposedly good natured banter, chat, information, support etc, frequented by like minded, friendly Porschephiles , and yet, it seems to me like it is being run by a self righteous clique! Just a gang of bullies! Let the poor man alone I say! He has an opinion too and, a right to voice it! Shame on the bl00dy lot of you!!

Pete, Roger is the author of his own misfortune.

I am very well thank you Simon []. I trust you are well also. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting Roger but, if that's his car, it looks really nice from the rear photograph. Loving the oval tail pipe (I'm looking for a Tech Art version of one of those for my 968). Not too sure about the RUF sticker though [], a bit "too in yer face". []. It's defo' in the best colour though! I love Black cars [8D], almost as much as I love Clint Eastwood!! [8D][8D]

No my car has no RUF history, is Alpine White, and has a "Rough" Rear spoiler....
