I was watching that, but I am really confused at the state of the market right now.

2020 was to be the year I finally bought myself a decent 911 longhood to go with my IB Coupe. I started looking at the end of December waiting for the spring garage clearouts. Then Covid hit.

With this uncertainty, what with my wife being furloughed, questions in my own head about my own job security, I personally thought ‘sod it’ it’s better to have some spare cash around, just in case this really does go the way the media is touting it - greatest crash since before the Great Depression; more people unemployed (but a good percentage likely to rebound into full time work once this is over???).

I’ve seen a number of great cars now come on the block. Reasonable targas in the $35k region, coupes in the mid $40ks, and some bargain 912s. Some are met with a feeding frenzy type attitude that are in the ‘zone’.

What I don’t understand is, these aren’t the higher end ‘$80k+’ cars in the first place, more the challenged former $50 - $60kers, each with their own little quirks (wrong engines / pearl resprays / non period body mods) so not likely being bought buy the super rich that haven’t been significantly affected by the virus yet, so who is buying them?

Someone more adventurous than me?

I would have thought 6 months ago, someone would have torn Puddy’s arm off for his car, so is it just the bottom of the market being picked up waiting for a rebound?

It was also great to see the Lilac Midi IB 30k miles Coupe go to someone who wasn’t going to flip it.
