they're not. trying to buy a '76 porsche 912 in town. they're asking $3000 for it. the car is in decent shape, except it has 180k miles, and a siezed engine. i asked them if they were solid on the price, and they say "well, we bought it for $7k 5 years ago, and we had it marked up, but this is less than half what we paid for it, so we feel it's a good price".

well, considering i can get a 66 for $4450, or a 68 for $3500 (before negotiation), i think this is lame. hell, i can get one for $9000 with 50k original miles, concours-correct and a show winner. this is a 912 folks, not a '75 911 turbo! it needs paint, slight body work, some interior work, paint, and a motor! arrrrggghh! i'd have to invest $5k or more just to get it nice, and then even if it is concours-correct, it still has 180k miles on it! and it doesn't have leather, a/c, or any power options like the other '76 912E's i've been looking at have.

i love the classic porsches. i might have to drive a couple days to get one, but i might wait for a nice 911 instead. not extremely fast, just fun cars.
