Not worth a look unless you are drunk and messing with Sean H.
Can I get my click to the 4 year old thread on the other forum back? :sifone:

I glanced at it and the best part is those 100K cars can be had for 1/3 of that now!
SL55 back then 100K, now asking 35K.......

:iagree: My main issue with spending that kind of $$ for a mid life crisis car. Of course, the classics haven't held their values much better over the same time frame. :ack2:

There was a time when anything AMG, M badged or cars with great lineage like a 911 or Corvette had a bulletproof depreciation schedule......unfortunately the newest stuff is super expensive to own out of warranty and there are too many low mileage nice cars showing up at dealers/auctions so the average used one isn't worth anything especially if it is over 5 years old and out of warranty.
HP/Performance has been a killer too.....Baddest stock ZR-1 was just over 400 HP in 1994-5, the last year of production. Now stock Corvettes are 430+ HP and handle/brake better than the baddest ZR-1 of yesterday. M3's/911's of 10 years ago don't put out the HP that the base cars (328/Boxster) do now. Heck a 911 turbo (aka supercar in 1991) only put out 310 HP and now a non turbo 911 puts out more than that, the new turbo's for 2010 are over 500 HP/AWD etc.

Yep, but they are still Mustangs!!:ack2:
Just like the z06. Might have supercar performance numbers, but it's still just a 'vette.

Saw a 1996 911 Turbo in the dark maroon saturday in Austin... Best looking 911 Turbo generation for my $$$...
Current 997 TT a close second.
:iagree::iagree:
I always liked that genertaion of turbo's.

The 96-97 Turbo is commanding more money than a 2001-2003 that has more HP!
On the 2001 and newer if you change the wheels you have a pretty good looking car!
I prefer the 1994 Turbo 3.6 to the later cars (last of the rear wheel drive/air cooled turbos) but being only 355 HP the new Carrera S cars are putting out the same HP!

yeah but a lot of wrecked ones out there also! Can anyone drive those things with tearing them up? They are asking MSRP prices on trader/ebay but in reality if they went to trade one the real number may be below 100K.......

Do you think one of these can be had for 100k?

The 993 is probably always going to be my favorite of the 911 series. (And that color is awesome.)
I had an Aventurine Green convertible that I still kick myself for selling.
If I had the $$, I'd be all over Tommy Gun's car.
