@EC83SC, thats true. And there are indeed many reputable dealers. I am a recent arrival in the Seattle, WA area and I am shocked at what the local dealers are charging. Example? Park Place Limited in Bellevue, WA. A reputable dealer, but the prices are just laughable. They currently have an 82 sc, in marginal shape, with a bright GREEN (I believe it was called sherwood green) interior. Its hideous. $15,000! Yikes. So why do they get away with those prices? Because Microsoft is 5 miles away, and all the kiddies working there who don't know their head from their *** buy them with their first paycheck.
I am not ripping dealers, and there is nothing wrong with making a few bucks on a car. However, if you are patient, and can spend a good 6 months doing reseach, and looking out for a good deal, you can do better than the local dealer. I bought my car off E-bay, and did very well. But if the car had come off the truck and been in horrible shape, I would admittedly not have much recourse. If you buy from a dealer, there is always the piece of mind of having driven and inspected what you are buying, and to some folks the outweighs the cost concerns. Very understandable.

I live in Greenville, NC and own a 82 911SC Targ Red w/ Tan interior. I would say mine is in very good condition, with many upgrades (SSI exhaust, Monty muffler, guages, new top, new tires, new CD player, etc).
I will sell you mine for much less than $18K!
