Default exactly

I warn all of my friends about this all the time. Everything you do to the car costs about the same... i.e., a motor rebuild is a motor rebuild... paint is paint... upholstery etc. So I tell them to watch out for a couple things... "rare" means not popular and therefore ='s parts shortage... or high cost parts. So why do some obscure brand/model and just make your life that much harder and more expensive. Unless it's your grandfathers car and has been in the family since 1929 -- move on -- and pick something that will at least return SOME value when you either loose interest - or want something else. Being 50 grand into a car worth 15 grand is just not what you want to do. Being 50 grand in a car that will bring 35/40 is still a loss but not nearly as bad/painful.


this is what I was trying to say earlier in this thread. Weld definitely articulated it better!!
