Yes the "great ones" do...for sure. But I can tell you, and you likely already know this... Most of the cars that we see for sale, are far less than great.
Not arguing - so don't get me wrong. It just kills me everytime I see someone over pay, because the great cars are worth real money. So you pay 50-60-70 for a great car...fine. But paying the same for a car and then having to put another 10-15-20k in to make it an almost as good car? Kills me to see it happen...and it's happening to many of the current new buyers.
A great car is a great car because it doesn't need anything and it's got low miles, the correct changes and upgrades if necessary...it's buy and drive, or buy and keep. Not "buy and tear it down and send it to the shop again, and oh **** I just paid 50k and now it needs this and that and on and on"
Just sayin. For any of the "I'm new and looking for a 964" guys....there is a lot to know in order to know what to look for. Do your research.
Our moderators keep deleting the threads pointing out the less honest sellers of these cars. Not sure why as it's an important service to the community that we can share that vital information. But that said, the sellers of these cars are typically used car dealers through and through. They work on low margins and are not your buddy. Buyer beware.
Further, and I know this is wordy, so then I will shut up. Most of the guys we send these cars out to for a ppi, have limited to zero experience with 964's and particularly the c4. And then they approach the ppi with "....for a car of this age"
Ie, "yeah it's a good car for a 25 yr old car". "Normal wear for the age", etc...
There are plenty of cars that are worth 50k+, but those, like mine, regardless of miles, are brand new. And they aren't changing hands often.
Most of the cars that I see are like old girlfriends...sick of her issues and tossed aside. So she gets polished up and it's back to the bar for her...looks pretty damn fine in the dark.

now back to the sub par cars. certainly i wish 30 can buy it. but having seen 30+ 964 in last 12 months, unless you are super lucky or i am just unlucky, a 30k POS rust bucket with hardened leather, and detached roof liner with falling side skirts and bent armrest, missing muffler and rusted A pillar will sell in 5 min! with that going on, what can a buyer do?

A good friend just sold his 1990 62k mile, Stone Gray/Linen C2 for $48k, never advertised. Full reseal and more, RS Clutch and Flywheel, Steve Wong Chip, KW V3's and 17" Cup 2's with brand new Cont's. Original suspension and D90's included. Car is pretty close to immaculate and based on what I've seen lately, he left some pretty serious coin on the table, me thinks.

This car has been listed before. I think the price is too high for what it is...
Cup IIs, would better with Cup Is...I suppose they're better than D90s.
2-AWD
3-Tan interior

Taste is a very subjective thing....
I prefer the CUP II's over the I's as do many people on this forum, living in
the mid-atlantic, AWD is much better to drive, especially on
wet days like today and absolutely love tan interiors, especially
with a black car, great contrast.
But that's just me.

Thoughts on this car? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-911-...m=311501389708
C4's are going for. Looks like a nice car, but you never know once you
see it in person..
