Prices for classic cars - especially all the top models from all manufacturers - went through the roof during the last 5+ years. While some cars (with big racing history and small numbers like Gr. B homologation cars or DTM cars) were already expensive before and didn't get that much more expensive (like a E30 BMW M3 or a late G-Model 911 Carrera) the prices asked for other cars is ridiculous sometimes. And we're talking about cars that were not so popular before. Like a RWD Sapphire Cosworth, a MK2 XR2 (although in Germany nearly all want a MK1 Fiesta), MK3/4 Escort XR3i, Sierra XR4i etc.

Problem is there's too many people out there who don't know what to do with their money and fancy a classic car to play with the other "kids".
