1991 C2 for $49k

are those 993 seats in that car?

 

yes. the ad mentions the car has 993 front seats.

 

this car was listed on PCA just two months ago at $31k...must be another dealer

 

if that's true, i do find that irritating. i know people flip, buy/sell and dealers need to make money, but this is getting stupid. deep-pocket dealers/flippers can buy at one price and list at another, basically adjusting the market upward on lower volume cars (or at least based on the available cars on the market). to buy at $31k (or less) just 2 months ago and then attempt to inflate the price by $18k is only helping to raise the market at an artificial rate.

 

Supply and demand will set the appropriate price in a fair market

 

point being, if flippers and (more so) the dealers buy and stockpile many of the available 964s (or any other limited car), supply dries up. demand, or let's call it desire, may remain the same. the result is an increase based on hoarding. free enterprise? supply and demand? yes, but i still find it frustrating.

take a 'package car' for instance, minimum available and sloan picks one up for 'X'. they can put it into their inventory and sit on it until the market reaches them or someone with enough cash wants it. if that car went to a private buyer for 'X', no real inflation in the prices on 'package cars' minus what the market would bear at the time. is it the american way, yes. i just find the middle man and his 'tax' on the vehicle a little hard to stomach.

 

Think of it more as a "convenience tax". The flipper/dealers are out there, searching for cars, cash in hand, making deals and building inventory. All you have to do is go on a dozen reputable dealer websites and find the 964, 993, 930 of you dreams. You don't have to search craigslist ads, PCA chapter classifieds, newspapers, etc. You can save yourself hours and hours of searching by letting them do all of the legwork. That legwork comes at a price, however.

On the flip-side, you can do all of the legwork yourself and save a few grand. But, nobody said it was easy. There are deals out there, but you have to find them. And it won't happen overnight. You also have to be ready, cash-in-hand, and make the deal sight-unseen at times. That approach is not for everybody.

 

Love when people ask top dollar and can't even clean their front mats.

 

That is some serious coin for 135k miles

 

very ambitious price for a high mileage car with the wrong seats

 

i've emailed the seller twice with no replies thus far.
