Loads of chat about how cheap sports cars are on here, but this really takes the biscuit ! God Im tempted, but then just like the stock market, how much further can prices fall!

In some respects I'm thinking, gosh they're cheap.

On the other hand, I've always thought 2nd hand 911s, especially turbo's were very overpriced.

Prices look "right" to me.

Have cars really got cheaper?

You need to look at the overall running costs.

One of those sounds a bit iffy ("HPI OK", WTF does that mean)

Another is LHD

The other 2 sound OK, if a bit up on miles

But that would remain to be seen

"HPI OK"

Is just dealer speak for no outstanding finance or adverse data.

It's a stupid statement as you would be totally insane to buy a car like this (or any car really) and not check the provenance of the vehicle.

"HPI clear" is the norm IME

"HPI OK" suggests to me that there may be something in the cars history

But then I am the suspicious type
