Baddabing Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Hello folks, I'm in the market for a low-end targa (few posts of mine in the 3.2 Carrera section) but just spotted this on eBay and wondered what people's thoughts were: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201041668990?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Seems cheap compared to many 930's out there - or is it too good to be true?

Jim Rummy Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) Hello Baddading Reading the ad, it looks like you could get it imported to your door all in for around £20k. If rust really isn't an issue (does it not rain in Japan?) and you categorically knew that to be the case then even if it needed a fair amount of engine work and suspension etc ... It could work out ok for you, but ... it can be a very expensive game buying a 930 without getting it inspected by a trustworthy source. Many, many questions would also need answering alongside any inspection. ------ Why are both the rear windows missing? Also, it looks like both the rear and front screens aren't bonded in place; merely held in with tape - has the car not been reassembled following an accident, a resray? what else does that indicate? I imagine they can't start the engine if 'engine believed good' is the line they use to describe it, but at least the interior looks good. It definitely a project, but one that could easily cost you £15-20k on top of the purchase. Edited February 23, 2014 by Jim Rummy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Man Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Buy it, buy it. If only to find out what the buttons on the steering wheel do! Ejector seat Turbo boost Smoke screen...... Would be a pretty unique proposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaky Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 One of the buttons could be ABS - Auto ball scratcher........................lol To many unknowns, could be a real bargain or a bottomless money pit, would defo need ot to be inspected and HPI cleared (Assume Japan has an equivalent) My question is with so many good rare Porches going to Asia, why isn't this one being snapped up over there!

Baddabing Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 Given it's an '86 I'm guessing the buttons on the left for Pacman and on the right Donkey Kong... Would love to have the cash (and balls) to give it a go, but agree that there are just too many questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
