[urq] Another Urq for sale (and an RS6)

[Peter]

$20,000? I hate saying it but I don't think that is going to happen in this
economy. Jim F. is having a difficult time selling his at $7,500 and his car
is in very good condition.  There was one on E-bay a couple months back with
15,000 mi. for $15,000. (He might have been fishing; because I can't find
one person who was successful contacting him about the car.)  And supposedly
one here in Colorado that was on E-bay this past summer and wouldn't bring
over $12K; sold for $20,000 to someone back East. We need to admit to
ourselves that we own toys, boys; and those are the first thing to go in
times like these. My personal experience has been that only the older high
dollar Porsche's are holding their value; everything else is down at least
30% from a year ago and still headed South. Even the Sports are down in
value to under $100,000. This is not the time to be selling unless you
must.

On a side note; I would like to ask everyone a question. Gary B. (the
quintessential Aussi). of Meadow Creek Tyres has an 83 that he bought new
and now has 30,000 mi...........Verified and in excellent original
condition.  I hear stories of URQ's with lower miles; but none that can be
verified. Anyone else actually seen a super low mileage URQ in North
America?  Regards,  /Peter
