I *distinctly* remember looking at 997.1 GT3s in 2012ish that were going for 80.

I am so mad I didn't buy one.

What’s the market value of one of these today?

I will say when I saw your post earlier my first reaction was to look up stock market returns since 2012. If you had that hypothetical $80k invested you still might have done better than if you had purchased one of these.

Ha ha yes, but on the other hand I'd have been driving a GT3 for the past eight years.

But you're right, the stock market has done a lot better. Hard to figure the GT3 market exactly b/c there are so few of them, but my guess is that a nice one will be 100-120.

That's something!

So maybe you can cash out some of your appreciation to pick one up now and the extra $20k premium won’t sting as much!

Too expensive for what it is, and I already had my share of Ford Exploders, but cool idea

It went for 90.5 which is more than I would pay but not so far out of the realm of possibility that it doesn't make me mad.

It's like the worst possible price.

I'm such a sucker for that car. I loved it in the movie. But, no bubble glass roof = no sale.

posted yesterday at noon, when it was 1000 buck less. Still too high for an Exploder

But the headliner picture is better than a bubble sunroof. It would make for a great Uber ride
