location matters?

If you are west coast - are you in a locale with no snow + salt, so the cars don't rust? If so, you are very very lucky, and that is why prices have not escalated for you... yet! Any SPG that was winter driven for more than 5 or 6 years is now likely rotting to pieces... salt kills cars, and though the c900 is well built to withstand winter, it is impossible to win that battle so long as the body is made of steel.
What people on the east coast (or elsewhere in the snowbelt) do now is search CL and classifieds and buy southern + west coast cars to ship... and if you check the various bb's here, car shipping is a common thread topic! Many of the cars being shipped are c900's...
I have no doubt that the SPG will rapidly become a classic car of significant value. The vert will appreciate a bit slower. My 2 garden-variety sedans will never be worth much, though I'm amazed how much interest even they generate! I've come to realize that I will probably never own an SPG now, but I'm ok with that... I plan to keep the good sedan indefinitely, and drive the winter beater as long as I can, but rust is winning that battle!
My advice is if you want a nice one at a reasonable price (which $3100 is if the car is free of rust), buy one while you can.
