Well. None of the new ones hold their value anyway. Except the GTx cars.

And yes, it’s inevitable the air cooled market softens. It already was trending that way.

Best time to buy a car, from what we learned in 2008-2010.

Absolute steal. And this car will appreciate. Guaranteed.

How it’s only $48k is incomprehensible. Epic famous GT1 block and manual. Wow.

Is it a surprise? We're heading into the biggest recession of our lives (or at least we think that). Those of us without a big ticket item listed for sale (house, collector car, etc) are lucky.

I mean, we're still a ways away from the end of the auction. But yeah, this isn't the right week to sell your Porsche.

This thing is just gorgeous IMHO, maybe because my 2002 was the same color. (but mine had a roof)

I was not talking about your car, but the older collectibles or GT-type cars with crazy resale.

I was (half heartedly) joking. We didn't buy it to gain value, but I do hope that decent resale plays a positive roll in total cost of ownership... hopefully over a 20yr ownership cycle.
