In that time the most I've ever paid for one is my current black one that I bought 10 years ago for $1700. Since then I've bought a pair for $3000, and most recently my better half's driver is a super clean, extremely well maintained one that I paid a whopping $700 for about 4 years ago. Last I looked at KBB they showed something like $1300 in good shape.

I popped open our marketplace here to check current values and see a number of cars for $3000, $4000, and even $5000! Just this last weekend I found a turbo Quattro under a carport that looked like it had been sitting for a few years. I knocked on the owners door and had a chat that ended up in "I won't take a penny less than $3500". What's going on?? Are values going up or is everybody just nuts?
