Not all clueless sellers are on Ebay, I'm surrounded by idiots Options

The only used car dealer in town that sells nice stuff is within viewing distance of my office. So today I notice a middle-year 911 in the lot. It sticks out like a sore thumb in a lot full of late high-end stuff. So I call. Who knows. Maybe it's been updated with a 3.0 or has had extra good care. It's a '77 (last year of the 2.7 if you were wondering). It's a little ratty around the edges. Could use new paint. THEY WANT $14,000!!!! I stopped short of telling them that was the best joke I'd hear all week.

Good thing if your window's within slingshot distance of the lot.

4 months ago I sold a '78 SC 3.0 Targa for $13,500 and it had really good paint, which pretty well makes your point. That was at the high end of the local market at the time.

Yeah, I think $14,000 for a really nice SC is fair.

Just to drive the point home this was a high-mile 2.7 with no updates. Uh-oh, there I go laughing outloud again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

The humor almost makes up for me having to put the roof on the 914 today for the first time since April.
