What was the 1997 US price, then?
In the UK it was £34,000. It's now £38,000. Adjusted for inflation, my car cost over £60,000 in 1997. 981 is much, much cheaper than the 986 was.
Same applies to the 991 and 996...
981 is a bargain in the UK.
Agree, I would have bought a 996 if I could have afforded it. But in some ways it's a blessing in disguise, because owning a 986 has probably made me more curious about how the 986 and 996 are related and more appreciative of how good a car the 986 is. One, I think, tends to assume a 911 is good. But the 986's virtues are less well appreciated, I think.
