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.

Gotta laugh at the clueless seller but feel sorry for the clueless buyers. There are more than a few people out there who will think this car is a deal because "those Porches go for 30 or 40 thousand". Then they'll show up at a shop or dealer to get that "muffler leak" fixed, "$7000??, magnesium case, whats that?"
A few months back a guy brought a mid '80's Carrera into the shop for a wiring problem. 100K + miles, body damage, bad paint, wasted interior, tired leaky engine, junk tires on curbed wheels and so on. Had just paid 15K!!

Barnum was right: "There's a sucker born every minute" And the car dealers know it.
