10-15K is Turbo 944 territory. Likewise, it buys a very complete, nice running, driving, and fast used Mercedes Benz.
Have you priced rebuilding a 3.2 recently? How about a G50? If you need an engine and a gearbox done at the same time on a Carrera you will spend $25-30k. Why should a car that costs that much to maintain properly be selling for $10-15K? You've got it backwards. The price of these cars was well below the cost of ownership for a really long time, decades even. They've just finally caught up.
