That is a joke, unless you are a young tech bro and 100k seems fair for "an old school Porsche, bro!"

I sold those new and they are about as exciting as washing your hair in stock form. Good cars, solid construction, yada, yada but boring. They were heavy and slow 911s. 200 HP and 3k lbs. doesn't exactly make anyone scream. Back when they were under $20k in mint condition, it made sense to buy one and modify it until it was fun. Porsche parts are not cheap. Now? NFW....

For half the $$, I'd have twice the fun in the used Porsche market if I was looking right now. I can like a lot of cars and have over the years but the value/price ratio has to make sense. On these, it doesn't. Not even close.

I'd be curious to see the "before" pictures of that car, someone went crazy with a steam cleaner.

g50 prices are even more off the rails than normal sc/carrera prices
