It’s an interesting exercise to just pull a random price out of a hat and see what you can get for that. While not by design, the last two cars – a running but very faded Fiat 1100, and a similar condition Fiat 128 – were both priced at $2800, and so is our next feature. Check out this 1973 BMW Bavaria for sale for $2800 in Newark, NJ. Oh, how the mighty have fallen to the level of the plebeian cars…
So rumor has it BMW 2002s are supposed to be the poor man’s 911 if you want to play in the collector car bubble. And who doesn’t like playing in a bubble? As real estate investors can tell you, it’s crazy fun – things are going up up up, everyone’s excited, and nobody is too worried about the end of the ride. Raise your hand if you don’t like fun! That’s right, as expected… so better get your hunting cap and find a ticket for the ride. Check out this 1974 BMW 2002 pair, for sale for $3500 each in Redwood City, CA.
With all this talk about the bubble in Porsche values, you’d think there was not a single affordable Porsche for the whiners to purchase. Sure, it sucks that not everybody got their hands on a 911S for $12,000 in 1990, but are you in this for the money, or the cars? If you are looking for Porsche engineering with a low cost of entry, you have to find the cars at the bottom of the depreciation curve. Back in the 1990s or the aughts (did we ever decide what the last decade was called?), 911 targas and 914s were the accessible Porsches. Ten to twenty years on, the accessible cars are 924s, 944s, and 928s – and who knows, perhaps in 20 years, someone will be complaining about the bubble in 928 values. Want to get in on the ground floor? Check out this 1979 Porsche 928, for sale for $3900 in San Carlos, CA.
