An example of how quickly good cars sell

With all the talk about cars that don't sell it's easy to forget the ones that sell in one or two days.

A month ago I saw this 89 Coupe for sale on Craigslist in New Jersey. 52,000 miles. I believe it was a 2 owner. Had about 5 pictures. Ad was asking 31k. If I hadn't bought my car last year I would have been at this guy's house that day with cash. The ad was taken down after a few hours.

The same car is now listed at Holt Motor Sports. Absolutely beautiful. They don't list prices but I wonder how much they want for it now.

1989 Porsche Carrera 3.2 (G-50) - Holt Motorsports - used porsche 911 dealer, certified pre owned, porsche 911,porsche 993,porsche 996

Great looking car...I bet that they are asking low to mid 40s.

Two years ago when I called about an '89 in Grand Prix White they had on the lot with identical mileage, they were asking $45,000. I'm willing to bet that car is being offered in the 50s.

Like someone said in another thread, there are only the quick and the dead now days.

And those pole smokers are quick.

Saw a similar situation yesterday. Checked Craigslist and saw an '87 Carrera, 150K miles, not too much description but some nice pictures, appeared clean, for just shy of $11K. I thought "Hmm, interesting, maybe I'll check it out after work." A little later in the afternoon, when I went to pull the ad back up, I saw it was gone.

LOL, if I saw a CL ad where there was a driver 3.2 for $11k, I'd be in my car driving to the place immediately.
