yet another what's it worth thread

[Matt Monson]

They've come a long ways in 20 years. My last new WRX was an'08 and we also had a '16 OB. They are as different from the earlier cars as 996 to 991.

There's a really nice hot rod here on consignment. All the right people have touched it and the owner is a known good guy. $20k will get you a 400whp car...

I've got a fist pump deal (no handshakes in the time of Covid) on my car. Dude is into it and it will match a 70 Targa he's got. Fingers crossed. More comments to come in the JDMclassics thread later.

Fantastic color. I personally think the non-S has plenty of power these days. This isn't your momma's 200hp 986.

no bids as of yet on p-car market, but i will continue to watch. dude did not include a price in the pelican add you link. nice that the car is in the bay area if i wanted to take a look at it at some point.

not crazy about the color. do like this shade https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/lp/search-Porsche-Cayman-manual-sc2_d993#listing=292162041


thanks for the heads up.

[Matt Monson]

Yeah, he edited it out when the auction started. Sorry I do t remember what it was.

You don't like the blue? I'm such a blue guy.

[juanbenae]

when looking into a used vehicle the color is generally like item 3-4 in importance to me.

when i bought my 1st SC back in late 2000 i found it in the san jose mercury classifieds (yep, news papers used to have classifieds) i was so surprised to find it after looking all over in autotrader and the like for what sounded like the perfect car after speaking with the seller. went to go see it and he took me into the garage and it was guards red!!!! i din't even ask the color in the initial conversation..

was not in love with that color, but the car's condition and mileage "checked all the boxes". the seller even had a PPI in hand that was paid for by a previous perspective buyer from out of the area done by CT automotive (formerly carrera tech). i was able to go over to CT and talk to the shop owner and he walked me through the few issues and that confirmed it was the car for me, color be dammed.

the red was appreciated more once i started to build it into the spec racer it became... the tribute to the 1971 #23 917 seemed like a no brainer once PRC afforded me the car number.

I'm going to look at a 2010 Forester XT tomorrow. It's been ten years since my last turbo Subaru.

Hopefully there's not CVT in there. Think that was before them.

Yep. EAT gearbox and an EJ25. No cvt or FB engines for my wife.

[pmax]

Not asking about what you got for it, Cavie.

[dwelle]

a week and a half later.

not getting enough attention pmax?...

In educational psychology they say compliment good behavior, ignore bad behavior. I'm afraid that isn't going to work here. I say, let the pnutz roll. Where ever they end up, in a gutter for instance, a rat may find a decent meal.

Another BS discussion, inside jokes, the same guys do the same thing on these postings. Why don’t you guys just set up a We Chat or Messaging portal.
Starts out good ...goes to trash very quickly, I think PP forum is always high jacked by the same guys.

It’s hard to believe the man hours these guys post just jawing.....say what ya want but I am a newbie, told by a buddy on here, you can learn a lot but be careful because their is a group that only respects their little group

respect is earned wallet-phelps, it not just given out here or any group, or society. you are underwater and deep on that.

and there is a huge difference between being new and using a new screen name profile.

I just find is interesting that he picked your thread, where you and others, are chattering. It's not like we hijacked someone else's thread. Again, why is this clown even reading it if he finds it so offensive?

troll.

you can tell he wants to be accepted here into the "little group" as he put it in the worst way. he just is not sure how to best go about it. he's taking a different approach than seanie-max, but is finding no greater success. he thought a second account was his way in, but that all blew up in in face when his sentence composition and mis-spellings was outed. now he's just lashing out for attention sake.

the other thing is he talks about wasted man hours, look at his recent post frequency! that's no busy man typing that junk.
