Unhappy Is Bruce A right?

In this months (Dec) issue of Excellence (Readers' sale report), a 1998 C2S with 7500 miles, black with partial-leather interior, silver gauges and six speed is purchased for $28,500. Comment is "nicely done". Has the (stock) market and price of crude finally found its way to the P cars?

Bruce should have considered retiring a few years ago. I just don't read what he writes anymore.

The other side of the coin is that the stock market and price of crude are probably going to be paying for a lot of new P-cars.

I doubt many construction laborers drive 993s but architects and builders might.

BTW, a 1998 C2S with 7500 miles, black with partial-leather interior, silver gauges and six speed for $28,500 is just about what I'm looking for.

I saw the letter in Excellence and thought this had to be the work of a mischievous Rennlister Bruce is so out of touch with reality that he took the bait!

Do you think he really impact the resale values of P-cars? I doubt it. Give the man some slack. At the end of the day, a car is worth what a person will pay for it....period. With that said, where can I find that $27K C2S????

+1 and 7,500 miles is a suspiciously round number. Check Sloan and RPM for prices on "virgins" like that.
