Yes, wealthy people are less affected, however are generally very smart w/ there money/investments. Meaning a potential buyer does not want to invest 200k+ into a early low mile 930 with the risk of the 930 being worth a fraction of that in the near future. Below are two very low mile examples, both were bid to the 170k range RNM. \r\n\r\n9k og miles https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1979-porsche-930-turbo-96/\r\n7k og miles- https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1979-porsche-930-turbo-96/", "likes": 1, "timestamp": 1696356318, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 12613363, "authorName": "lbreeding2112", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/lbreeding2112/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "@outlaw77 neither of those cars sold. As I stated, it takes the right buyer or collector to see the car and fall in love. It\u2019s a piece of art. These old models were handmade. They can never be replaced. I agree an investment has criteria for each person but these are not purchased for resale. It\u2019s a once in a lifetime car that can never be recreated. Its priceless. By the way an older 930 was recently sold for $450k. And another for $350k.", "likes": 2, "timestamp": 1696358753, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 12613678, "authorName": "voitureltd", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/voitureltd/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "outlaw77 Agree if the buyer is a 1% er, and you sell stocks @ the current discounted prices maybe not such a good idea but. Still the possibility of a dramatic value loss of buying an excellent 930, buying as a keeper, not a flipper, not too much to worry about losing value with one. Not everyone is worried about future value, just want a nice 930 to enjoy.

The cost of $ is what you don\u2019t make risk free, so 6% these days. If it\u2019s sitting in a garage and cost 200k it\u2019s 12k a year lost carry. Same for art and land.\n\nRarity and era firsts and last count, as well as condition/miles/#owners to really hold value as a \u2018hard asset\u2019, just like location for a property.\n\nIf we buy we drive them here n there and don\u2019t intend to sell any as long as we can push the pedals. The sellers, boutique AC dealers and shops have some of the most interesting, smart, and importantly nice people I have ever met. That might be as enjoyable as any one of the cars.\n\nWe are getting closer on this beauty. My wife (the og ac stick gal I love who gave me this disease) thinks the Petrol and interior are to die for but every car has its fair trade price that is likely discovered here on BaT, and anything much over that is a seller in no rush and a buyer with no fever.\n\nHave fun and Drive em\u2019!!! \n\n(Headed out now in pearl white 98 C4 Cab, her favorite, in the passenger seat!)", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1697288523, "type": "comment"}]
