Yeah, kinda nuts. There are 7 993 turbos on eBay at/above 200k, including this 97 turbo S at 500k

All nice cars, but I can't believe how much they are going for.

Even the Boxster is going up in value, especially the low production number GT that's track ready. I know this was seen here before. Totally deserves a second look.

I threw up a little.
Slapping a wing and putting "illest" stickers on it doesn't make it a track car. Illest doesn't even make any car parts.

I'm thinking of putting some "illist" and prancing horse stickers on my '98 to make it track ready and double the value.

Definitely not a track car, especially with M&S tires, even if it does have coilovers and a wing

Love the painted calipers, high quality work

I had to go back and look at the calipers. Solid work.

I don't think its a bubble *** IF **** the numbers of that specific model of Porsche are truly limited. And by limited I mean you've got money in hand and you simply can not find the car you want in a day or even a week, without compromising on many things about the car that you otherwise would not have wanted if more examples were available.

Cars you find in a day, and are willing to pay the market rate, these are firmly in bubble territory. Most have not recouped their original sticker prices. Once the economy takes a dive, I'd be scooping these up by the dozen, restoring and flipping for a profit when the next bubble comes around.

This is a "track car" like I am a "race horse"
