I have seen RS Americas listed for sale for $150,000. and $176,000. I do not know what they sold for but the prices are crazy. Granted the cars had very low miles and you would assume in excellent condition.
I would like to hear some other opinions. Maybe a Singer is not that bad of a deal, just kidding.

banker, great name by the way for the topic...
anyway, i thought about this a lot as i have been watching 964 sales for a buddy; he loves my 90 C4 and has the itch too.
by no means am i an economics major but supply and demand has got to be the cause. And not for 964s but for the entire air cooled era. a few years back i recall seeing 930s for today's 964 prices; today 930s are easily double. i should've grabbed my dream car back then - oh well.
but who is demanding the supply? i think it is merely guys (and gals) like us that seek that nostalgia within our car world. with cars that have more computer power than an atari driving/parking themselves and the eminent death of interactive car ownership (rowing gears or bleeding brakes), i think it's natural that a classic and organic 911 would seem right. Now tell us that fewer good cars are out there (or make it appear that way) and we will push each other out of the way to grab them up. to make matters worse, speculators will capitalize on our love for a great car. Remember the $500K (usd) 1970 hemi superbird? basically a few rich guys seeking nostalgia rather than the world's truly ultimate car. just my 2 cents...
anyone with a $25K 930 in great shape?
