who really wanted to spend 30k in 1991 on it with a crappy interior and crappy blazer/s-10 body.

$14,000 16 years later still over rated. Still ugly and over priced.

Espirit Turbos were/are sick.

The Porsche 928, although a “bastard” front engine model, has a close following, and has the cool factor advantage of being a RWD V8. I can see those being sought after for years to come.

yeah at $20,000+ and high insurance for a Porsche that is 14 years old  
you win the dumbass award on Pittspeed for 2007.

I’ll pay top dollar to kick you in the nuts, so you can’t reproduce…

Good call, high insurance and high resale values typically indicate a crappy car with low demand…

The discontinued Ford Escort however, can be both insured and purchased on a budget, showing just how highly sought after that piece of automotive history really is. I don’t even have to get into the performance aspect, I think we all know about ZX2 street dominance.

I’d feel like such a wanker rolling up to a nice restaurant in my Porsche 928 while you roll up in style in your low resale value Escort.

I don’t know what I was thinking. Thanks for setting me straight.

^^ agreed, in fact the 928 series Porsche’s have a very loyal following. It may not be the same crowd that the early 911’s have, but the market value has been very stable and increasing in value, most notably for the last versions of the 928GTS.

If I owned a Porsche like that, I’d feel obligated to bask in my wankery.
