good 944's are going into the 10 grand+ range here
S's or Turbo 44's are solid 15 into 20 grand.. Thats Euro's not dollars.
good driving 914's are a 25grand car... And that's with the 4 banger 80 hp engine.. let's face it, it doesn't even do 200 kph..
I just got me an 07 Cayman with 130K km's on it, not a scratch on her for 22 grand.
It's a Flat 6, and sings top 7300 rpm..
No way a 44 or teener can beat that price/quality/fun ratio
And i'm serious, not a scratch, i've looked all over, can't find one.
Each time i find something, it turns out to be a spec of dust.
And I'm pretty sure it will give me at least as much usability then any 911 can provide for more money and road tax.
