New member - hi, and a pre-purchase question

[Greg Young]

Hmm.. I'm really new to this, but we've been doing a LOT of research and
shopping in the last two weeks. Prices have varied on '84 to '88 PT40's
currently on the market from under $50K to almost $100K. That's a huge range,
attesting to the fact that there is no Blue Book on these. Yet the equipment
varies not all that much. So consistent use and good maintenance will count for
a lot in our decision - along with meeting our specific preferences, and a price
that seems reasonable.

My wife Barbara (not on this forum, but I'll invite her to join) reminded me
today that we started this search with a $50K budget, and stretching to double
that is probably not a wise decision (I'm paraphrasing gently here).

Anyway, thanks for all your help.

And I still like the one in Texas best on first appearance (even with the
longhorns) - but there's no way we'll buy it at $97K.

I think Jeff Miller said it best a couple of years ago, in regards to
buying a nice coach, or a fixer-upper. .
He Said, "Pay Now Or Pay Later"....
