Prices Keep Drifting Up

Sorta been getting the feeling that the Turbos (outside of really special ones) won't be getting the same kind of love. Now that every modern car is turbocharged, I think the naturally aspirated engine is becoming "old school" and a sought after feature.

But, the Turbos are still ridiculous cars with classic styling and reliability. I'm glad I bought mine when I did. I paid pretty much top of the market for its condition 2 years ago at 63CAD, and now, the market for that car locally is WAY up. Vancouver is a crazy market, too.

Yup tables have turned NA is the new Turbo, Turbo is the new NA

Speaking of turbocharged cars though, at $35k for a 996 I'd rather be driving an FD. Just as poorly built, but much cheaper to run and much better to drive.

$35k pretty much just gets you a NA 996 at this point. $15k-$20k could get you a respectable FD.

The light steering feel is similar to the 996. But you get a great suspension setup (double a-arms with spherical bearings all around) and a motor with a ton of character. Don't let that second turbo spool up in a corner though . The only letdown in the FD is the transmission which was straight out of a b-series truck. That thing felt absolutely awful.
