15k: Buy In Bulk: Porsche 912, VW Bug, BMW 2002, Merc SL — Lottery?
An interesting advertisement appeared on SF Bay Area craigslist yesterday for a lot of 8 classic automobiles. The full list is: 1969 Porsche 912, 1968 Porsche 912 targa,
1967 912 targa, 1963 Mercedes-Benz 230 SL W113, 1973 BMW 2002 ,
1961 VW Type 1, 1962 VW Type 1, 1963 VW Type 1 and the seller is asking $120,000 for the entire lot. Kaibeezy found the link and delivered it with a brilliant concept: he should take $15,000 from 8 people and distribute the cars randomly! i’d aaaaalmost do it. Find it here on craigslist.
Imagine for a minute, that someone was to launch a kick starter or indie go-go campaign with 8 available spots at $15k each. After the requisite number of folks signed up, the deal would be done and all buyers would show up for a big warehouse party and put their name in a hat. No matter what, everyone would go home happy….unless you got stuck with the one of the Beetles. But still…
Better yet, would you put $150 in for a 1/100 chance of winning one?
Sorry if you don't have the Mercedes logo in the grill you are telling the world "look at me I have no idea what I am doing, there might be a bear living in half these cars."
Hey – didn't notice those additional pics when I first published this article – the seller must have added them. Updated above.
Can't imagine why the seller would think he could get more from a single buyer..who knows.
This is starting to look like one of those photo quizzes. Can someone with better eyes than mine can tell me when they painted the hood on the teal colored beetle (black in the first picture) and what year that baby blue beetle is cause its a '68 or newer (newest one advertised is a '63). Wonder what happened to the other two 912's which have apparently been traded for a couple of rolls of ?? in the corner.
What's wrong with getting "stuck" with a Beetle?
Craigslist advert now has a $150k pricetag…
