Brilliant thread; oh for a time machine and some fun money...
This does show it cuts both ways though - I can see a couple of 996 Carreras in there for £50k+ so we can't be too ungrateful for the passage of time!
Part of the amusement of these is seeing a £15k clown's shoe 1.9 Z3 next to a £5k E30 M3. Or a £50k 996 advertised next to a £4k 964.This does show it cuts both ways though - I can see a couple of 996 Carreras in there for £50k+ so we can't be too ungrateful for the passage of time!

In the days before the internet and email. Didn't they used to send a man out to photograph the car ? Or did I just make that up?
Yes they did, Spent many an hour stood around at the "meeting point" waiting for him to show up to take one pic! The guy we used to have was also a taxi driver so would often show up with a customer in the back of his cab!Not exactly classifieds but these are adverts from a regional Hertfordshire magazine in 1995 my parents had from their wedding day (their picture was in a wedding dress maker). They are only a couple of ads but they still show how cheap SUV's were, and how Ssangyong were using the Mercedes trick even back then.

They'd still got a way to fall from then though
Here at 6k - albeit a few more miles and years
Can't recall them ever sinking as low as the E34 Ms though
They were going, on occasion, for half that at the bottom
Back in '98 a good friend of mine who now has many interesting cars went to test drive an E28 M5, and it turned out to be an an automatic M535i. Back then some dealers thought the customers didn't know the difference, or actiuslly didn't knot themselves. The bodykit pictured was on all M535i E28s, and on very few M5s. The car in the advert may be an M535i.Here at 6k - albeit a few more miles and years

That should be posted outside some of the recent auctions which have taken place to wake people up to the madness that is today's Porsche classic prices.....1975 Turbo for under 12k - even by 1993 standards surely that is cheap, but I do remember that 930 turbos had fallen to under 20k in the early 00's and you won't even find a knackered one for under 70-80k now
