is the guy dreaming or are a/t cali tops that rare?

A 99 Cali top seems rare. I thought I payed good coin for my 98 Sport Cali top with full options. Now I won't cringe so much. :cool:

Got my 200k miles mint condition alpine white 5 speed 1998ti California roof for 3200$ in Chicago :cool:

Wow what a price! I wonder how much mine would be worth after repairing the frame and restoring it. Picked it up for $600.

Let's be honest .... he must have come across some really good michigan herb. He's dreaming at 9 with auto and no swap, 13 bin???

Mine is a '96. I payed $5,400 for it 3 1/2 years ago with 128k on it. He'll drop the price in a few months.

Reminds me of a guy wanting $8.5k for his '98 sport package with 145k miles that I tried to negotiate with a couple years ago. Completely stock but had M3 wheels. It was a pretty nice ti so there was no harm in me trying to talk him down, but he wouldn't budge. Wrote me basically a whole essay about how rare it was and if I was a true enthusiast I would see the value. Hah. I don't think it ever sold. Regardless I ended up finding a different one two weeks later for $3k, bought it and that's what I drive now!

I think our cars are going up in price a little. Clean mtech manual, swap ready... people are coming around on the ti and I get lots interest on my skoot. I notice e21s are rising too in popularity and price for clean examples. Both seem treated "red headed" when I was first infected 15 years ago.
