Why don’t we see Ford Mustangs around in Singapore?

This is such an iconic American muscle car, surely there must be people here (who can afford exotic sports cars) who would like to drive one here, but till this day I have yet to see one in Singapore.. There are cars like Ferrari, Lamborghini and Porsche that are seen on the streets, and the Mustang GT is way cheaper than any of these cars.

Duty is 150% of LTA’s evaluation. Toughest thing would be getting LTA’s approval. It would have to come in right-hand drive and be certified by the manufacture to conform to all Singapore safety and environmental laws.

How long are you willing to spend in Dearborne to do that and how much would that cost. Following that exercise you would have to wait about 6 months for LTA to test the car and vet the documents you’ve provided.

If you’re keen on an American style muscle car bring it from UK or Australia. Less hassle if it’s not modified.

Get the Porsche Boxster. It has better reliability!

How much is my classic Porsche worth?

I was wondering what my 1985 Porsche 911 Carrera is worth?

The 3.2L Carreras are good cars, and alot of fun as well. The DME fuel management was an improvement from the 911SC. The 1985 Carrera had a few minor improvements from the 1984 Model Year (when it was introduced), but lacked the AC redesign that came in 1986, and the change to the G50 Transmission in 1987. As a generalization, the 1987-89 models are considered the most desirable (though perosnally, I quite like the earlier 915 transmission; which is also quite a bit lighter).

In terms of value, these cars can run from a low of $15k, upto the mid-upper $20k range. Coupes tend to be the most desirable. If the engine performs well in compression and leak down tests, there is no visable rust, and things are in generally good condition, you should be in the upper half of that range.

In terms of color, Guards Red is not especially desirable (as far as I know few people that actively seek it out as their favorite color)… but it is also not a color that most find objectionable (may not top the list, but it is a liked color). If the paint is in good condition (and original), this will probably help the overall value.

The milage is probably a plus for someone that wants to use this as a show car. However, for a car that is to be driven, the low milage would be more of a warning sign. The older 911s were made to be driven, and simply sitting that much likely means there are many parts that have not been properly lubricated by running, and will be prone to failure once they come under regular use. Overall though, people less familar with older Porsches will look at the milage as a plus, and it should only affect the value in a positive way.

As for future value? The 3.2 Carrera is the last of the impact bumper era, and in many ways the last of the “classic” 911 (with the 964 bringing in things like power steering, coil overs replacing the torsion bars, etc); as such there has been an increasing interest in these cars. They represent some of the best qualities of the 911 to that time, and some of the best performance for a basic street version of a 911. However, as the 1980s was a period of high sales for Porsche, there are ALOT of these cars still out there. As such, it’s unlikely they will ever be highly sought after by collectors (rarer items like the Club Sport option excepted).

Further, the fact that the newer model Porches (986 and 996 in particular) have seen such rapid devaluation compared to the earlier cars, will probably keep cars like a mid-80s 911 from appreciating much, if at all. On the plus side, as some of these newer cars have already started to sell for less than the older cars, the older cars can be considered at, or at least close to the bottom of their devaluation.

If you love the car, keep it an enjoy it! They are fun cars (and most that sell them spend many years after wishing they hadn’t). But if you are looking at it as an investment, you would be better off looking at a much older 911.

What things have gone wrong with the car? Power steering rack filled with water and got tight. Gear linkage worn and fell apart and replaced.That’s it.
