</div>I'm not a doomsdayer but we are supposed to learn from history. It might be decades before we see the impact of QE. Canada surely won't escape. I don't lie awake at night worrying about it. I'm currently enjoying the bubble having sold my 993 this weekend. I was done with it anyway. The 911E will follow because I don't have the time for a project these days leaving the 356A coupe which I will keep.
I too sold a 993 last weekend. This one wasn't for sale and I got an offer I could not refuse...he was a hot rodder..never owned a Porsche before and he's been hearing a lot about them recently. His freinds told him only buy a 1995 with obd1.
I was ready to do a full restoration on this 993 until he made the offer.
The car:
1995 build date April 1994 black on black non sunroof six speed. Car needed new paint, (rust at f/r window corners) dampers, tires, brakes, evaporater ($$$) lenses front and rear. The interior was impeccable.
No accidents. 112,000 miles
$44,000.
I offered to take the car to RMG on Monday or Tues so he could get a PPI from Grigsby....buyer declined he wanted to take the car home Sunday....probably to impress his friends..
