Prices go up prices go down.

When there's cash to spend in an economy the truly rare and limited cars fetch top dollar. Frustrated that one cant have those people then pour their cash into cars that are not nearly as limited. When the market corrects, as all hot markets will -- thats what makes it a market, these cars will plummet the hardest. But those barn find RS cars will always be top dollar on account bof the fact that Porsche didn't make a million of those type Carreras.

But at the end of the day you're buying a used car to enjoy. So if the price is right for you and don't feel like waiting for the market-correcting "reality check" like we saw in 2009, then who is too say what price is insane or not. Give it 20 years and these cars will not be 550 money. The big fans for these cars are not spilling over into the younger generations who will for the most part not be as well off and dont have nearly the emotional attachment as guys who learned to drive in the 70's and 80's.
Then there's the issue of having people who can still fix the more ubiquitous air-cooled varieties.... at reasonable rates. Analog is a dying art.
