So few 348for sell, why?

Per our brother, No Doubt, in Alabama and his definitive tome on the 348 at http://www.my348.com/348.html only a total of 556 Spiders came to the States between 1992-1995. Five-hundred-and-fifty-six!!! Aside from the incredible pleasure of driving this thing, the potential for appreciation is encouraging. This buggy ain't goin' nowhere. It's a beaut!
