Therein is the answer AND the problem. I recall the days when nice 246 Dinos (Ok... not a Ferrari
could be had for $14K. These were cars for the low budget enthusiast and who could wrench on them. Realistically many were self serviced.
Fast forward today and one can still find driver 308's in the low $20k. One can wrench on them as well plus be resourceful for parts. The problem lies when you now sell them as buyers only want to see impeccable service records from a dealer. Without those records, the value is slashed.
