yeah. much as i want another 993. many of them cost more than when i rolled one off of the showroom floor!
when is that phenomenon going to occur to the market value of these? i should live that long.

RMC Your father sounds like a very wise man, you're lucky to have him as a tutor. Yes I think we have hit ceiling with pricing, there are already signs the market is softening, at least here in oz.
Steve McQueen, thanks for the well wishes on my new addition to be.
The Dude, Agricultural might be a "slightly" too strong of a word but you do get my drift. You really need to go out and drive a few of these AC cars, you'll quickly make up your mind then which way you would prefer to go. Good luck with it.

tYes the adhesive will definately improve with age, so as the car gets older the glue will get stronger. The first generation cayenne plastic coolant pipes are also improving with age, like a fine wine! This is what happens with all old cars, the flexible rubber and plastic parts age gracefully and improve with time.! The plastic radiator ends won't leak either! Your strong recommendation is silly!

+1 on the 'correction' to occur on the air-cooled market...I think the REALLY nice/museum cars will hold a strong value while the 'normal' condition cars will head somewhere towards where they were a few years ago...big volume productions, how many are really being used/desired once purchased?....

Now, there isn't exactly an epidemic of coolant lines failing, is there? And that's despite the vast majority of cars not having had any work done to it.
I brought up the idea of welding the coolant lines on my car with three reputable shops, and all three said let's not do it unless you track the car real hard.
Saying that it's a pervasive problem and that cars that haven't had the welding are at a serious disadvantage is just scare mongering.

If you haven't driven an air cooled car yet, you need to. They are vastly different to the watercooled stuff.
For me, as a weekend car, I vastly prefer my 3tt to my 7tt. The 7tt is objectively a better car in every way, yet if I had to sell one of them, it would be the 7 with no hesitation.

it isn't "scare mongering" for th_dude to mention in his ad that he spent nearly $2k repairing his coolant lines!
