I've seen how Quebec people treat their cars, no thanks

Unless you plan on flying there to pick up the car, and and treat the return drive as your cross Canada adventure though, personally, I generally don't think the hassle and extra transportation costs are enough to justify the slightly lower purchase price, at least, not in the Cayman price ranges that I was looking at.

I'm surprised how much selection there is in Ontario and Quebec compared to here (or Alberta) for Porsches. I've been even a bit surprised that the Halifax Porsche dealer has some good used selection - that was definitely not on my bingo card. The local selection seems to be really heavy on PDKs and either the top end models or over-equipped based models - not a lot of the nicely equipped S models.

If it's a 991/992 or 718 GTS then I'd consider flying out and driving it back but I'd agree with you that for a cheaper model it's probably not worth it unless it's spec'd right and as dukes says, the seller is a good one.

Man, if it isn't near brand new, I can't imagine the exponential abuse Quebec puts on a car compared to here. Even if it's a summer only car, the roads are like someone just poured concrete blindly over our FSRs. The ruts and potholes are actually fucking unfathomable.
I couldn't imagine trying to drive a nice car there.

I gave up. He’s firm on his 21k and it’s not the right color. I want it teal coloured. This dark red isn’t my cup of tea

Would a 987 Boxster with lower mileage be a better buy? I much prefer the look of the 987 over the 986 myself

I would spring for a 987 if your budget can afford it. They are easily more pleasant on the eyes and a lot more comfortable than a 986. A 986 is spartan, and a lot of people need to remember the 986 saved Porsche from bankruptcy. They had to cut a lot of corners to make it work.

Depending on where you look, some late model 986.2, especially the S, will go for around $22K. They have crept up in prices other the year and have come to match the 987.

If you are okay to take on the risks of a 987, it's a better buy but to each their own. I would not hesitate to steer anyone toward that direction. Lots of smiles per mile and value overall. :)

Car has minor rim rash and one significant accident on the drivers front side with no engine or structural damage for $21,000. Everything was repaired with Korva auto body to better than new. - Carfax available

The Producer 05-26-2024 01:58 PM

Korva is legit. Hard to get into also. Owner was smart to take it there.

Wouldn't be bothered if it inspected well and I was looking for a keeper. Always going to be tougher to sell on though, even at a discount.

Yes and No. Not the most amazing deal, but definitely getting harder to find a lower mileage, clean hawkeye Impreza. They're getting close to 20 years old.

I think $8000 could get you a SAAB 9-2x Aero. As a dentist and part-time architect, those saabarus get me moist AF :drool

I saw this the other day and thought of you. I recall posting this car here before but I'm not sure.

The base price of those 350/370 always amazed me. I think those things were low 30's?

Fuuuuuuck that QP5 is lovely... if I was staying in Van that would be a must get but I'd expect a better price, $30k is more reasonable given the market for them but this one does have exceptionally low mileage I suppose. Needs to be a GTS so justify $40k I think.

Badhobz 05-27-2024 07:38 AM

^go drive it at least

iirc it was higher but when the FR-S/BRZ and Genesis came out they dropped the price to compete.

The base model was brought down to $29,999 near the end. But you want the NISMO model anyways which is pricey. The base model has no LSD which is one tire fire all the way.
