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.
