Unfortunately, the market that got us top dollar for my late father’s home also has desirable cars priced nearly out of my range.

No business cycle lasts forever, but it might outlast your willingness to wait it out.

If you sold a large asset you didn't need (your Dad's home) in an inflated market, good for you! Your cost basis was $0, so everything you got was gravy.

If you're trying to find an underpriced replica in a superheated world, you'll be frustrated. A very plain 45 year old Intermeccanica Speedster just sold for almost $40K on BaT. Sanity has officially left the market, and you're looking in the Spring when prices are highest.

If something else will scratch this itch, I'd recommend buying that other thing. MX5s are great cars and offer a ton of value. C8 Corvettes are the deal of this or any other lifetime.

Anything Porsche related (even if it's not "real") has rounded the bend into the surreal.
