I've been thinking this for a while now, too... The current prices are driving me off the P-car hobby...
I agree, to me the SC was a fun $15-25K car. At current prices it jumped off the fun/price chart...
I sold both my 912s last year (purchased for peanuts way back when) for that reason, yes they were fun cars, but not 40K fun !
The problem is insurance premiums go up, part prices go up, labor goes up... And everyone sees one car do extremely well and applies that to their rusty POS. No deals anymore.. You just have to be in the right place when reality sets, to get an OK price... at best. Also it's hard to turn a blind eye to value when people makes you unsollicited offers at the shop, at the mall, and if you want to keep values up you are kinda locked into "stock" and not going too crazy with mods.... All in all it's a lot less fun than it used to be for me.... I still enjoy my Old BMW 2002, because they are worth less, cost less to maintain.... Price a flat six rebuild and get back to me.... 20K for 200 hp or less in some cases ? I got a 2002 head for $100 !
