Is this a well setup 944?
The current and previous owners have spent over $200K on it.

I don't see 200k.
He was taken for a nice ride. I'm glad he is happy with the car. |

And yet that is the price of top notch work these days... I'm sure the money is there... I fear it hurts the hobby more than it helps though... I'm already on my way out, I guess my salary has not escalated like those prices have ;-( |

(his 951) - (my 951) = $198,400.00
Mine wasn't quite as nice though.

I know a guy who has a $150K+ Falcon. Apparently if you can't/don't DIY anything it's not all that hard to do. To each their own.

Seems like a nice car...but half the $200K was the amount invested in the car over the lifetime before he bought it. It appears he paid $15K for it and it was practically a basket case...then dumped another $95K into it.
I like the car and would probably pay close to 20K for it, but, would not pay the $95K for it that he put into if it were a brand new 951 (with zero miles). If he had said $45K...I might have tough he was eccentric, but understand how much it costs to do things right. Heck, I think the $20-25K that I have into each my 911s is crazy...

I believe this is the car that was at Amelia Island Werks Fest this past March.

There was (operative word was) a guy on the Bullitt Mustang board who did the same..bought a new 2008 Bullitt, and promply made a shop happy by blowing at least another $1ooK. All sorts of folks in the gearhead world.
