- Nice manual 964 C2 for $50-60k in 2018: not surprising, it's a great car and that price is in line with "equivalent" collector cars
- Nice manual 964 C2 for $20k in 2011: that was completely nuts and we should have jumped on that
I don't think that Singer is the bad guy here, the problem is that too many people happen to have great taste in cars  |
I tend to agree with you, mostly. Singer has bought up all the poorly maintained turds, tips, and the like. They have decimated the project car market. It doesn't exist anymore for 964s. They were just willing to pay more than hobbyists for such things.
That drove up the cost of entry to a nice car a bit, but I don't think it the driving force. I agree with you on the rest about the independence of the 964 market and other reasons why it has appreciated in recent years.
