Words cannot describe the 458 Italia.
I am going to trade in my ‘92 Buick with 273,000 miles right away. The only problem is I am $252,200 short. Sucks to be me...
So why do these guys always charge extra for the trailer hitch? You’d figger at a quarter mil they’d at least give you a trailer hitch...
The rear seats, the passenger seat and the front license plate would be a good start.
Back in 1974 my wife and I were looking at new cars. One dealer was also a Mercedes dealer. We noticed a Mercedes sports car at $18,000. That was about $14,000 out of our price range but I got to thinking and we could actually have bought it.
It would have required our emptying our bank accounts and borrowing some too. Of course I was not seriously thinking of doing so, especially since we were expecting our first baby.
I can’t even remember the model number but maybe 20 years later I saw that same car was bringing enough that it would have been a good investment.
“So why do these guys always charge extra for the trailer hitch? You’d figger at a quarter mil they’d at least give you a trailer hitch...”
I was just about to write the check for a car like this when I asked the guy what an oil change costs for it. When he asked what company I would be using to ship it to Italy, I opted for the pick up truck.
‘Prices will start at 199,500 euro (or $253,000 at the current rates).’
Yeah, I’m planning on buying a couple...
power steering, air conditioning, sound system, radio, clock, emission controls, power windows, air bags, and cup holders.
The going price for a late 70s to mid 80s Porsche 911 in good shape is about $15k nowadays, which I think is a great bargain for a great car. Even these relatively later models are pretty spartan, which to me is part of what makes them cool.
I’m REALLY having trouble imagining a Porsche towing anything.
I like the calipers. Color should be an option.
