The original question of this thread was "why are these cars so cheap?"
I guess that got lost, and it became a "aren't these cool cars for cheap" thread.
But the answer to the original question is " they are very expensive to keep running"
And "sedans just do not have the following of coupes or sports cars"
The entry into a RR might be the same as a 50s-60s mopar you are looking at but the running cost are not even in the same hemisphere.
So you might end up with garage art if you buy one not prepared to spend the purchase price to drive it.
And that cheap RR you bought will sell for the same cheap amount regardless of what you spent to maintain it.
But they are cool cars and will be fun for people who are aware and prepared for what it takes to make them reliable drivers.
