I find it hilarious that you think you have a clue to what the market is and how it works. Although my primary focus is on the 964 which is probably the most misunderstood of them all. it isn't much different for the SC's and all air-cooled cars.
I looked at countless Porsche's for people do PPI's all the time. I can't say for sure but this year alone I looked at hundreds of these cars for people. Your comment just proves you have no clue. There were a lot of ignorant people willing to throw their money at crap cars but those days are coming to an end. The buyers are far more educated now and are learning to pass on the junk and wait and pay up for the good ones.
I can line up a dozen 911's all with the same low miles and point out why one is worth $89k another not worth buying and the remaining fall someplace in between. The days of the uneducated buyer who will throw their money on anything air-cooled is over. Maybe you are that clueless that you believe mileage dictates unconditionally. The truth is condition is now as important as mileage but your ignorance seems to tell you otherwise.
Once again if you want an education I am not far away I would be happy to edjimicate you when you have the time to open your mind to reality.
As far as the cast cases of the 964 they are not all that bad. No doubt they could have been better but the problem with welding was he was using a pure aluminum rod on an alloyed case. I spent 30 years of my life supplying aluminum and magnesium castings to the Dod and aerospace industries I can assure you the quality is not a concern. I work on vintage Japanese cars as well and the quality of most of their castings IMO are crap compared to the Porsche parts.

Anthony,
Let's have a cup of coffee someday. I'm not that far away in Westchester. If you're ever up this way give me a ring, and vice versa.
