I completely agree. To me there is nothing better than buying something so well below the market. My own shoot-from-the-hip feeling about the car in question is that it is worth less than $20K, perhaps as low as $16K (?), based simply on what I've seen such cars go for recently. If there are other real data points on similarly converted cars near $24K, I would love to see them. By "real" I mean actual completed transactions, not copy-and-paste ebay pages that may or may not have even closed. How many times have you seen:
"Real Porsche 959 owned by Bill Gates in 1992, 2,345 ORIGINAL miles - BUY IT NOW PRICE: $19,995!!! Contact me at
Nigerian.Scam@Abuja.net"
As many of us have learned the hard way, these cars can get fantastically expensive REALLY quickly. I have seen many a great 930 in the past 9 months for sale in the $24 - 29K range, possibly because they are endless money pits and not very practical unless your daily commute is 120 miles away on an interstate highway in a big square state with less than 500K population. I think an unmolested car will retain it's value much better than a '77 convert-a-turbo.
More of my 2 cents (sense?)
