Prove me wrong and I will be a happy man because there are indeed many 2006-2007 cars that are great deals right now.
Which begs the question. How long can the air cool craze keep the prices of 997 cars so low? $35k is a steal for a 2005-2008 car and there are many to be had at that price.

Good points and I will check. I know it applies to Boxsters, at least that is what I read on the internet

The 73 Carrera RS has, what, 210hp and it's half a million.

True but a crazy air cooled market forces buyers into Porsches they can afford and we need to justify our choices
