No kidding....but I was accused of moving the goal post...which I’m not. These “cool down prices” “price drop” threads are getting old. The OP’s need to put up or shut up...let’s see a thread with actual purchase prices...with photos and descriptions of the cars they (the sky is falling pushers) have purchased for under $30k. Let’s see a thread “I just bought a great Aircool for under $30k” I’ll wait with popcorn in hand

Rey,
Vaive has been trolling this forum for a month or more at this point he’s praying for a market crash and is posting crap while he waits.

Matt I speculate these “trolls” just hope for that under “$30k” price in the hopes of picking p a bargain they can flip. If so, I can guarantee we won’t see them posting their purchase price

I suggested earlier in this thread that he gets his jollies with this whole exercise and my position has not changed. his keyboard must be a sticky man sauce mess.

He’s a house flipper, so no doubt he wants to do the same with cars. Maybe he already is with another username.

I have spent another $8,000 on my car; rebuilding my heating system, installing a battery, tuning the engine, adjusting the valves and installing a rebuilt 915 gear box w/ LSD. This puts me at $60,000 splurged on my 86 Carrera I bought for $34,000.......

I am blessed...... who cares where the market is...... these cars are to be enjoyed and then handed off to others who will share your enthusiasm.

Got to say this car looks like a great deal at $27k. Surprised Vaive hasn't mentioned it for his thesis.

I have my 88 coupe sold .... I need to find something to replace it with.... falling prices are welcome but I can see myself getting into Mac's situation. I buy a $30k driver and then spend two years making it a $55k or more car that I'll never be able to sell for that price.

Pretty sure the seats and phone dials are original which I like. Paint doesn't look bad but no mention of respray etc. The photos & representation are sub par to say the least and most likely held this car back. Engine/Interior look real clean for the mileage. Chrome targa bar needs to go without saying. Tranny rebuild is plus also. Still feel like the buyer got a very good deal if there no major mechanical needs.

What color orange is that?

[911heaven]

This whole thread that the sky is falling isn't constant with the legendary 911. They used to say don't bet against the American economy and for good reason. Not a good example mind you, yet not many would, even in this era!

Market prices change, fluctuate as normal, as a pattern. Why make a mountain out of a mole hill? The car will never go out of demand unless WWIII hits us. If and when that happens, you, me and the next guy might be more worried about a house that has lost any value it had, if you had a house.

Granted, this OP thinks the sky is falling. Been around a few bends (in the river) in my time on the planet. This idea the sky is falling is a lot of baloney IMO. If one can garnish that things do change, including value or price, it's only a feather in one's cap.

^^^ well said.

Dropping prices on ratty cars and BaT results are no reason to assume anything. Most every car I have seen sell on BaT has needed extensive work. For some reason many of them end up by me and I look at a lot of them. The best ones need only $10k the worst have racked up $50k in repairs.

[matt930s]

That’s why this is the chicken little thread.

Nice options on that car with a unique orange. Should do well.
