1992 sp?
well maintained 3 year old batteries, and well maintained 4 year old
electronics are worth as much as dead batteries and broken radios.
Service records and oil analisis are worth as much as the post-
advert 'no warrenty expressed or implied' that follow those records
and reports. Some projects are fun to work on. My bus is worth 8
grand more to me than anyone else because sales tax was paid. It
would be great to wear the bus out and sell it for salvage like most
cars I buy.
