Sorry for the delayed post but that Porsche topic stirred some old emotions. Somebody mentioned something about "Porsche drivers". I believe that the '84-'89 911 has grown out of being associated with yuppies. Browsing through some classifieds at autoscout24.com, the Carreras start at under $10k and don't exceed $20k for a late cabrio. I think that is within the reach of most people, if they had the guts. I personally admire anyone who owns (and drives) the early 911's, seeing as they are difficult to drive and maintain. People nowadays prefer the foolproof security of a 996, 993 or a Boxster. My point is, not to limit oneself to a certain car because of stereotypes or other factors. Had I found a 911 for under $10k 4 years ago, I would have bought it and worried about the consequences later; the cheapest 911 I found was the prince's (now king abdullah) '88 cabrio for $33k. I have a friend who brings used cars over from Italy and sells them for a profit here. He can get me a superclean '88 911 for $9k; I believe him because he has already brought 2 '95 M3's for under $13k each. Obviously the global supply performance cars is slowly exceeding the demand.of
Summary: get the car(s) your heart desires. Me I'll have an '89 911 cabrio, a '96 Audi S6 Avant Plus and a '92 GTi thank you. Question for excellence subscriber(s): do they still have that offer where you get 5 trial issues for $9.99? _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
