I have been following this thread, and I think a point to be made here is investment vs. below market finds. I agree with the philosophy that car investment is not necessarily the best long term strategy, but if you're looking for a quick buck, find an underpriced car and flip it (that is exactly what you did with the 912). Sure, it requires a buck. And yes, it requires skills. And last but not least, it requires risks. But lets all think about the last point. Who in this world would give you a buck for sitting on your a**? It just doesn't happen. If you want to reap in the rewards, you have to put forth your time and money. And then the question is how much time and money to put in. That is another thread. Most people don't do this for a living, rather it is a hobby and an adventure. Doing it as living can leave you living on the streets sooner rather than later. You win some, you lose some. C'est la vie.
Back to the point of which Porsche to buy. I think you should look for the most underpriced car you can find. Don't limit yourself to any one specific model. Also, a $10k deal can be a bit difficult to find. Most recent "Automobile" issue had a '76 914 auctioned off for $11K (I think) as a "best buy". Just my two cents.
