the aussie cool/tool number plate thread

he collects stamps?

 

That is an understatement!!

 

well...i guess the car's worth $350k or so????????? 320??...but surely that plate's only worth 30-40k

 

Maybe its the plate and the car together for $500K! Which is still too pricey IMO!

 

Ofcourse this dude is dreaming... If it was a single digit then I would see it hit $500k.

 

It would be even cleverer if it were decked out like that VFR400

 

Now now Mike - we don't go back to those bad old days. Just wish I could get Kelly to flog it so that I have more space in the garage for Alfa parts

 

I enquired about these plates yesterday. it is being handled byu a car broker on behalf of the owner. The guy has a new turbo coming in a few months and figures if he can sell the plates (and the car) for a massive profit he will. I asked the guy if he were willing to sell the plates seperately and he got back to me and said yes but it would be around the 100k mark. i told him when he got serious he could call me but the plates are worth around 30-40k only.

 

i guess there's no harm in ASKING $100k....there's a sucker born every minute.

 

Ohhhhh, I thought the ad was just for the plates not that a car comes with it. It doesnt sound as bad but still the number plates price is still lala land prices.

Badly created ad...

I did use the porsche configurator oz site and to have a turbo in "speedcore" spec was around the $400k mark...

If we recall the recent NSW heritage auction as a guide 288 went for $120k the NSW 997 went for $70k.

 

Best plate ever this morning....."DF ROW" on a fully sik black Sooopraaa.

His parents must be proud

 

What did you spec it with besides sport chrono and ceramic brakes etc..?

 

Heritage plates have moved sharply upwards in the last 12mths. "989" went for $50k for example, so a more meaningful number like 997 might make more $ to the right person.

2 digit plates are now really serious money (#41 = $218k a few mths back) and the single digits are the realm of the BRW top 200.

 

Scott what can a garden variety 6-number enamel be had for these days?

 

Correct. Some 3 digit plates make even more to the right buyer.

I strongly suspect cash rich super fund buyers have pushed the market upwards. There is a lot of super money in self managed funds looking for a fun, legal investment.

 

Have a look at the Shannon's site under past auctions. There have been dozens sold over the last year. Here are a few examples:

181.182 made $9000
282.828 made $9200
77.177 made $10000
1234 made $47k (how dumb is that)
2274 made $20k

BTW # 456 is advertised in the Age for $65k ish

 

Death Row.....I assume.

 

and i thought i was strange

 

and 612 where was that?

 

On Mrs Goobers QP
