[quote=spdrun]I paid $2500 for a car that has had under $1000 in repairs over the past two years, and which I can easily re-sell for same price. Hwy mpg is in the mid to high 30s if you drive judiciously.
CL and the local papers are where it’s at. Besides, not supporting Detroit and dealer parasites is fun!![/quote]
Agree, spdrun, that once a vehicle gets to the $2500 PP value, then if well maintained, it could stay in the $1500 – $3500 value-range for the next decade or beyond, ESP if it has been garaged most of its life.
Many, many people want and need good running vehicles in this price range.
