I Have never bought into the "wisdom" of the market. I have experienced all the big ticket cars out there in one way or another and still am amazed at the prices for good 928's.

Kinda explains what we have had in the white house the last few years (and the choices in the past)

It's a timeless masterpiece and if you get a good one (well mantained euro for example, a GT) you know.


Look at this one still looks like a new car, exotic, european, and muscle car sound (and this one kills mosquito's too)

So you think the prices are too low?

I have no personal interest in prices for the most part, will never sell mine and won't buy another one, so I have no emotion in the prices. So objectively, when I see the prices that lesser cars command, it just shows the market is ignorant of what a true (good) 928 experience can be.

Look at used 911 prices, 3X8, and the likes of Testarossa (same league), ........................ not to mention what you have to pay for something new that gives the same experience.

I hope the day comes when people say 19k was cheap for that car. Those late 16v Euros are the ****.

My guess would be Mark Anderson - he was on the lookout for a 5-speed 16V car some months back.

But it seems dbrown knows, so I'll sit tight and wait for the answer

This one is NOT low miles, so unless Dangler corrects me I think the owner is still a mystery. If so, I know of someone who also always wanted a nice euro and the quickness of purchase would fit.

I am amazed at how many here regularly scan the for sale ads. I never look at them, maybe that's where all this gloomy value talk comes from.

Most people would be very happy with 67K miles on a 27 yr old car. Jeez.

Ad expresses complete, undisputable 1-owner history, low miles and care.
Its that near-uniqueness that differentiates the offering from my perspective.
Perfect ad.

Same pictures, fuzzy multiowner history, 1/3 to 1/2 discount, guestimating of course.

The ambience carries the subject car price a long way I think.

I was! That's what mine had when I bought it in 03 from the 2nd owner, now with 82K. BUT the one you posted for sale in Boston has 38K! So in this discussion, which car is the low miler, the 38K or the 67K?

Around here generally 25K is the cut-off for a low-mileage tag. (Don't tell me you're secretly pissed at my obummer dig)

If MA took his time checking out a 38K car, I doubt he pounced on a 67K one. That's all. Until Dangler or Mark clears this up, i have an idea of who else grabbed this one.
