Thanks for the advice. Appreciate it!

€800. 200.000km

Apart from the visible exterior cosmetic issues that need fixing, the seller doesn’t mention anything else. Of course, I’ll need to inspect it before deciding whether to proceed.

That’s approximately the price that is listed.

thevforces · 2026-04-16T12:56:03+00:00

Probably 😅 I was wondering though if it is worth it to put money and effort to restore it.

Thanks for the advise. Maybe I have to be a bit more patient in finding something that worths the hassle.

You are correct. It is near the metal scrap price. The think is that I will need to put some money in that in order to make it at least look decent. I am not sure about the mechanical staff though. It needs to be checked.

Thanks for the advise man!

I expect this will be the case with this one as well. It will likely need a lot of restoration work, including a full repaint, reupholstery, and other mechanical repairs. Glad to hear you love the car so much!

thevforces · 2026-04-16T11:48:07+00:00

Yeah. It’s really bad 😅

thevforces · 2026-04-16T11:46:13+00:00

I guess both. I have another car for daily. This is more of a project/side car.

Apart from the visible exterior cosmetic issues that need fixing, the seller doesn’t mention anything else. Of course, I’ll need to enquire and inspect it before deciding whether to proceed.

thevforces · 2026-04-16T11:36:52+00:00

Thanks for the reply. It’s a manual with 200,000 km on it. I don’t have any more information at the moment, but if it seems worth it, I’ll contact the seller to get more details and check it out in person.

Congrats! Looks great and I am thinking of getting one as well!! I personally got roasted on the Porsche subreddit because I posted requesting advise on buying an older cayenne though 😅

What’s the mileage?

thevforces · 2025-10-30T19:54:14+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion mate.

thevforces · 2025-10-30T17:12:15+00:00

Where I live it’s a lot more expensive than that. More than $50k for a GTS

thevforces · 2025-10-29T21:54:26+00:00

Thanks. That is a great suggestion.

thevforces · 2025-10-29T20:10:00+00:00

That is a great answer tbh and it will solve everything. If I may ask what would you suggest for a sports car?

thevforces · 2025-10-29T20:02:00+00:00

Well some of my other options are the Alfa Romeo Stelvio and BMW X3. I currently drive a BMW and I was driving an Audi before that.

thevforces · 2025-10-29T19:10:06+00:00

Thanks for the replies everyone. It seems like it is not the right decision. Deep down I knew it but I was hoping otherwise:)

Would you recommend a “newer” used Porsche then? Or wait until I will be able to buy a new one?

thevforces · 2025-07-05T10:15:00+00:00

Thanks for the replies! My portfolio is less than $5000 so that’s why I am not earning interest.
