Yeah amazing how it's 20 years old and it hasn't even depreciated to half of its original price...I thought it was worth 1/2 as much as soon as you drove it off the dealer lot?

I think our car's value will shoot up soon, within 5 years hopefully.

Keep dreaming, buddy. I think there's no return from the "worth $0.05 plus half the value of the work that's been done to it in the last 5 years" mark.

I'm sorry, but this guy is smoking massive amounts of crack if he thinks he's gonna get that price. Nice car, yes. But I'd find a very nice 930 or 964 for that price.

I cant believe those words were just uttered by your fingers, let alone that you thought about it long enough to type them.... I am so dissapointed!

EDIT: I just threw up a little in my mouth re-reading your post.

That about sums up the market value of any 944/951

Oh I agree, Tom. That's what I meant- in general, not just applying to crackhead's Turbo S.

My dad bought his first 993 for $26.5k and it was cherry.

But me, I'd use the money to buy a dead 968, dead 951, and make a 968 turbo S with a pro respray in a red darker and richer than guards red. The abundant excess money will buy wheels, various cosmetics, etc.
