I once junked a mk4 golf GLS. I sold it to Obama during cash for clunkers for $1500. The threading had come off the oil pan and the labor to replace the oil pan totaled the car which had a blue book value around $2-3k at the time. There were people at the junk yard hanging around and one made me an offer on it. But I didn't want it to be a burden on him. Those cars were truly, truly burdens. And now they go for $15k on BaT!

I know of a friends 2002 with 24,000 miles fixing to go on bat. He bought a 95 993 so that’s why this car is available, He wanted me to buy it I just don’t like red. Anyway black interior, my friend is so picky you can eat on the engine compartment of this car. He dry iced cleaned the bottom, $1200 . Ceramic coated, I always told him since I met him that his car was supposed to be entered in the Concourse de elegance shows. Pm me If you want to talk to the owner. We are at my mechanics tomorrow trying to finish his 993. I bought the soul headers from him. I would have bought this car if it was black silver, yellow, I would have bought it in a second. Tomorrow’ chow, meat and motors ribs.

I’m doing rib sampler tomorrow at my mechanic while work is going on the 993. One rack of the St. Louis ribs will be dry using my brisket rub, the other one will have one of my wild bbq sauces.

Wow, we seem to have a demand for 996.2 cabs as well.

Three cars in 3 days with very strong prices. Demand seems to be strong, no supply, prices go up. Can't wait to see what happens with the C4S.

Hoping the transactional sellers are done.

Haters coming apart at the seams

996 outlasted them all

Road & Track was bad

But there is no 996 hate, like Rennlist 996 hate

I’m calling it now:

996 will return to sticker price within one year

And from there all bets are off

Nah.

When the indices finally get flushed all these cars will go along with it.
