Jay Man Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 (edited) Well yesterday I finally bid farewell to my trusty 3.2. https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/1985-porsche-911-carrera-32-sport-1 After 10 years of ownership and many adventures it was time to cut the chord and let her go to a new owner......its still an odd feeling though, still once I took the number off it didn't look like mine any more. Very sad to see her go but I still have the 996 and the Panamera and I'm hoping I can broaden my horizons......outside the Porsche brand perhaps! I can't seem to post any photos...I think this is due to me not being a paid member. I have some spares I have collected over the years so I will be posting them up shortly. One of them is a genuine flat lid and grille. One thing is for sure, my experience wouldn't have been as good without the support of this magnificent forum. If I was still an owner I would absolutely become a paid supporter. Thanks all. Edited September 7, 2020 by Jay Man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLewis Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 10 years is a long time with a car. I could be interested in some of the spares depending on what you have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nige Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Hope it went for more than £34k! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamTompkins Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Looks like a good honest car, looks like whoever bought it got a bit of a bargain. I’m sure you’ll miss it.

Planty Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Mine went in exactly the same way a month ago - also on Collecting Cars. Also after 10 years of ownership. She now resides in Malta! Brilliant car but the time was right for a change. Like Jay Man, I also have a newer 911, so still count myself to be a very lucky chap!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your advice Planty, your advice about the reserve pricing played out exactly as expected. I did agree to lower it slightly at the end but it ended pretty close to my £35k reserve. I think in retrospect I should have had a go at privately advertising first, but I still got close to 5 times more than I paid for it back in 2010!
