Let's start a "virtual value" thread of each other's cars while keeping the RL'er's screen name anonymous. Then let's make a virtual time capsule and revisit the thread quarterly. Seriously! I paid what was big money at the time for my TT's but I'm sure their "virtual value" has increased exponentially. Maybe I'll call a bank and take out a Teloc (turbo equity line of credit) and buy a few 356's as a hedge...

GLWS sir. I'm very rarely inclined to comment on price but...
many people don't really understand one fundamental difference between private sales and dealer sales.
The dealer derives his/her primary source of income from buying and selling of cars. A private seller, more often than not, has to get rid of his/her car incidentally and it's not to derive a steady source of income from. Naturally, the dealer's price is higher. Now, if the dealer were really pricing themselves out of the market, they'd go broke. If they haven't so far, it means that although they might be pricing their goods higher than private sellers, they provide a far steadier supply and add intangibles to the sale that justify a premium; public credibility for one. At the end of the day, if you're bargain hunting, a dealer will not be the best choice for you to purchase a car from but if you're more concerned with the end product versus the price....dealers can be attractive.

I like the asking price because I have a black on black 1997 TTS with 42k miles.
My only question is:
Why would you put Pirellis on a car that is barely driven? I thought everybody and their babies knew that those tires age like a fruit fly.
Anyhow, in that price range that mistake is easily rectified.
