I worked at Beverly Hills Motoring Accessories and we sold those in the mid 80s. The Porsche's were $2995 and we also sold Mercedes, Jaguar and Ferrari "go carts".

Yeah but this was in Beverly Hills. We were doing 1.7 mil a month selling auto accessories to rich people.

The Ferrari was 10 grand! The Jag was $6500.

A customer came in one day wearing cut-off jeans and a t shirt. The sales people seeing how he was dressed, ignored him, thinking....he's just a looky-loo....won't buy anything. We did have a lot of people coming through the store just to see everything. But I told my sales people to always treat a celebrity like a regular person and a regular person like a celebrity.
I approached, said hello and asked if he needed any help. He asked how much for the Jag? I told him 6500. He asked how much for the Ferrari? I told him 10,000. He pulled out his Amex card and bought both of them. He asked if we could deliver them to his house. I said of course and that I would personally take care of it. His house was three houses down from the Playboy Mansion.
I think the snooty sales people learned a lesson. Don't judge a book....by the cut-off jeans!
