A lady walking nearby whispered to her friend that I was crazy for thinking I could by a Porsche for $6K. Of course that car today is worth way more but at the time it was just the cheapest 911.
On the flip side, when I first bought my Cayman I overheard someone walking by tell their friend that the Boxster/Cayman's were the cheap Porsches and only cost about $50K. I wish!

20 years ago I sold a '77 Targa for 6K. That was the going price. We were just talking about this yesterday, that the same car would sell for 35+ today and be even more maintenance (expense). Honestly, I wouldn't even come close to thinking about spending that kind of money for that kind of ball and chain.
Just like houses in CA, the cost of a middie 911 is completely lopsided. 930's I can see holding value.
You likely made the right decision.
