Buyer's market
We paid 18 cash for our 77 and have put about 8 into repairs with probably 5 more to go over time.

I don't feel bad at all about the 31 total.

I chose a model that old specifically so I afford to pay cash, but I don't regret it at all, the coach feels tremendously solid Smile

I called on the '89 as well. The dealer had already sold it but he

remarked that he realized he had priced it way too low. I would

suspect he got many calls on Saturday and had tons more waiting on

his answering machine on Monday.



As far as price recovery, I doubt it will happen to any appreciable

extent. The folks who buy the vintage ones often use equity loans.

The depression in the housing market has dried up a lot of that

equity. It will be a long time before many buyers will be back in a

financial position to consider the costs of owning and running one of

these. There are still people who can pay cash, but even that has

taken on a new meaning considering the current economic outlook.
