Makes the 996 turbos look like good value atm.

They're starting to reduce in numbers too. That's what happened to gt3's, once they start getting low on numbers on carsales, the prices went up. Don't know about TT's doing that tho

[spiller]

I think a lot of the GT3 craziness has been fueled by the 991 not having a) Mezger and b) manual. That created a demand for "old school" in Europe which has lead to a ripple effect here, partly because UK dealers are snapping up the Aussie cars and shipping them back. Also people see value in watercooled cars because anything aircooled is already worth a million bucks for a few rusty panels and flat tyres.

So why is the gold 1980 targa sitting for so long on carsales? Is it cas targa?

[mph]

cas shitbox

[Stix Zadinia]

rattle can has been used in places, instead of repairing the drivers seat they've stretched some fabric over the base, broken head studs, needs ALOT of work. would be good buying for $10-15k

Like I said to spiller a little while back (I think?) all those Sydney real estate profits have to be spent somewhere. :p

But it's happening across the board. Exotic car sales both new and used have hit record numbers recently here. And what I've stressed for a long while - seemingly run of the mill cars can and most likely will appreciate. You have to think long-term.

You just cannot forget there isn't an endless supply. And once that supply ceases, once you cannot buy one, they represent something never to be repeated.

Like in 2050, there will never ever be another 1994 VR V6 Commodore. I'm exaggerating, yeah. But you get the point. It's exacerbated with Porsches because "Oh they're all same-same. Argh they never change them. Sigh, a new Porsche, nothing special" Until they stop making air-cooled and they skyrocket. And now they stop making manuals and they skyrocket.

A Gallardo, for another example, was about the surest fire way to set flames to your folding stuff. You would have been better off just flushing your cash right away. They dropped steadily for years, within the reach of even the mildly well-off. And then Lamborghini stopped making them and went ahead and released the Huracan. That for all intents and purposes hasn't gone down all that well. And BOOM.

Suddenly everyone wants to hang onto their Gall, and every other person wants one. So the prices edge up and the demand dries up. Because, "Shit... It's over. There will be nothing like this again."

With everything. That's it. What we have now is all we'll ever have.

It's already happening to the 996/7. And it will happen to the 991 by the time the 99999 comes around.

[How about fucking NO]

I think you are right. I remember when I had my SC. It was a lovely car. Aust. Delivered, sunroof delete, 3 owner, low km. But only an SC - shitty CIS injection and average performance. I remember when I would go to the Qld Porsche club meeting and felt like a lepar in it. Now they are in such demand it is outrageous. They are a nice car but not worth what some buyers out there are prepared to pay. I think people have been caught up in the moment driven by the market.

This is what happens if you take a 964 Turbo body, take out all interior lights, take out the complete radio system, take out the electronic windows, repaint it inside, outside and underneath, weld an integrated roll cage (IRC), shave the rain gutters, install a 993 GT2 racing engine and gearbox, change the interior to full lightweight alcantara spec:

$149,995 is the asking price. One listed at 129K with 111,000 kms sold within two days earlier this week. crazy. I bought my car to have fun with and take to the track from time to time, having second thoughts about all of that now.

Yep, $149k on Monday, $129k on Tuesday, gone (assume sold) on Wednesday

Should've bought earlier this year...
