well

I NEVER TRADE
only 2 of 50 cars life time were dealer bought inc wife and kids cars

dad was a flipper

my brother was a used car salesmanager at new car dealers mostly [more margin]

part of the fun is the hunt
every dealer has a basic idea of car value
many private sellers have no clue
I have cash when buying never have had a loan or needed one

I like old stuff and wish car collecting was not a main stream idea
as I would love a 356 but not at 75k when they were 2-3 in the 70's
dad had 1/2 dozen he got and flipped inc a b c 4 cam and a speedster
or the HK-500 58 with a 392 hemi dad bought for a grand in 66

best I have done post 2000 was 944 for a grand
guy said the wire broke and it will not start/jump
I said lets reattach the wire and see what happens
if it runs/drives I give you a grand
drove it home

thankfully volvo's are still not collected much
got a 67 amazon 245 turbo 745 t 940 and 2 93 240 wagons all under 1-2grand
I like RWD and hate FWD BUT DAMM FEW CHOICES NOW
