Not a BMW, but a reflection of out of control prices

Thanks man but I don't think i'd even want it for half of your price [emoji2273]

Ok, you can have mine at 1/3 the asking price. That's absolutely crazy. Rates are in the tank so "investors " are seeking return in hard assets. Couple that with, oh forget about it. Who cares?

Porsche prices have jumped.  But so have 2002 prices.  I suspect that 2002 prices will continue to rise for the next several years.

 

I really don't get the "Porsche guys are A-holes" attitude that I've seen in this thread.  In my experience the guys that own 2002s also tend to own 914s, 912s, 944s, etc.

If you're referring to me, that's not exactly what I said. I wasn't saying that all Porsche guys are butt holes. But, I can tell you from experience that prior to the great boom in prices, quite a few looked down on the 912. I was at the receiving end and it was rather common back then. Now, it's probably a different story but for the butt heads it's likely only due to the price increases.

That doesn't make the whole lot of them butt holes. There are snobs within the BMW ranks too. I met one at a local C&C on a BMW bike. I complimented him on the bike as he pulled up. He had no idea I rode and no clue I was there with my 2002. He was super condescending and full of himself. I was polite and then excused myself and my son.

There are great folks amongst the rotten apples regardless of brand.

I looked at the other sellers to see whether that price was just an anomaly, and it is not.  Here's a $688 version that is "not in the greatest shape."  Perhaps it comes packaged with a set of mud flaps, a folding key or Hirschmann Jewel tipped antenna.

LOL well at this point I'm no longer interested in the book, no matter the price. I'd rather save my money for sheet metal and side mirror cage nuts.
