Perhaps we shouldn't use the forum to lower the value on coupes. Just a thought. Hope the guy gets every penny!!!!
The market will dictate how many pennies he gets it's up to us to not over pay if we don't have to. And help each other out in that regard. There will always be a constant battle with the owners that view these cars as investments and the owners that view these cars as the best cars on the planet to enjoy and drive without worrying about "hurting or damaging" their "investment." Nobody ever wins the battle. It is very apparent on the Early 911S registry site. Basically two sides and they get into heated conversations (best way to put it) all the time.
Drivers want parts and maintenance to be inexpensive of course and investors want their cars to continue to gain in value since (most) rarely drive them and don't have as much of a personal connection to them (most of the time, I'm generalizing yes). You think you can have it both ways; but you really can't.
I personally don't ever plan on selling and would like to continue driving the cars and picking up ones at reasonable prices so there is no confusion on what side I am on. I hope the market drops out and they are all worth next to nothing so I can pick a bunch up personally. Never say never, this Bull will eventually get slaughtered like its in a Spanish bull fight in my opinion. But of course I've been wrong for 7 years now. It keeps going up and up. But like real estate and everything else, what goes up must eventually come down.
So, always a double edged sword.
