Pricecheck?

I was perusing the classifieds section of one of our local newspapers yesterday, and came across an ad for a '97 911 Turbo S. Granted these are rare and collectable: last of the air-cooleds, 993 bodystyle, turbo, the "S" moniker/upgrades. It had only 7300 miles, I think. And it was touted as being owned (single owner) by Jerry Seinfeld, himself (in fact, that's the name on the current title). But how much of a premium would you pay for all that? $225K?

I love the car, the jellybean blue color is even OK, and I must admit that I'm a big fan of the show. But, yikes! $225K?!

That's ridiculous. No way Jose.

I found some lax leagues out here (in LA) and guess what? The playoffs start today - talk about timing. HAhaha.

Maybe next year...

Past celebrity ownership means nothing to me. If I wanted a twin Turbo, I'd pay market value, but IMO, plunking my butt where Seinfeld sat is worth zilch.

no kidding pwd72s, the fact that Seinfeld owns/owned it means nothing.

...but if it had those cow magnets - then we'd have something - hahaha!
