You can also get a 2016 manual M3 for US $70k - less than the 911 !!!

WTF??? - there's no way that a 12 year old 997 is worth $10k more than a F80 in what looks like immaculate condition.

Interestingly, over the weekend, i saw an article in the local papers which indicated that luxury car sales are down nearly 10% on last year.
This might indicate that as the new car prices start to soften, so would the used car prices. After all, when there's not much difference between a new model and a used one, why not get a new one?

I still like the 911, but i can't see the value anymore.
It might not be worth it to you, but if someone is willing to pay that, then that's what it's worth.
