The $70k Carrera - What Bubble?

[vesnyder]

This is more amazing than the $40k SC. All the power to him, I hope he gets every penny he is asking. Nice car but WOW!, this market has gone crazy!

So here we go with the 'what a beautiful car', and 'nice car' responses, coming right up.


Crack head price. Should have a major adjustment to asking in about a week when no one PM's.

That does look like a lovely car but I think the miles are far too high (45K+) to qualify this as a collector/time capsule type car that would support at $70K price.

Just my $0.02 of course.

Cheers

I think he's charging an extra $10k for every extra inch of ride height in the rear

Seller is definitely smoking something. Think the number is $45k - $50k max if everything checks out perfectly.

Well he is saying 70k or best offer, so if the best offer is 45k...

[Nick Triesch]

I think someone should buy this quick because there are only several thousand of them left!!!

I just want to meet the guy that lived with the ride height for 27 years.

Nice car if you like black. I don't particularly but wasn't there one member here who looked for the perfect triple black car for years? Maybe he would pay $70k if it's the right combo for him. I don't know that there are many buyers at that price.

[WPOZZZ]

I like the title where it says 44,534 miles 10/31/2014 ACTUAL. What else is it gonna say, FAKE? lol

NYNick - It could just sit and sit and sit without a price adjustment like some other sellers here.

I remember that guy - "plecostomus" or something, right?

Yup, that was the guy.

Except he wanted an SC.

I have a thing for black on black. But someone can buy mine for 70k.... no problem.

very nice looking. what would you sell it for? $30k, $40k??

[Skwerl]

This time next year you'll be kicking yourselves for not paying $70k! They don't make 'em anymore and they're only gonna go up up up. The market's hot, boys!

[Nick Triesch]

Gosh, a little more and you could buy a Cayman GT4. One of the best sportscars in the world.

[Skwerl]

Rationality and intrinsic value left the barn a while ago. You could get brand new 991TTSes, Ferraris, and more for what some air-cooleds are going for.

This is the rationale I use when looking at these listings. A prospective buyer's options are wide open at that price range. You have got to REALLY want that specific car with all of the other alternatives on the market for $70k. You could buy nice Cayman and 3.2 911 pair of cars for that money......

[Nachtfalter]

You guys do realize that many new buyers of air cooled Porsches don't really need to decide between new vs old right?
