Re: Prices Up ?
Most A hobbyists will probably tell you that you do not buy an A with the expectation of turning a profit when you sell it. Over a few years, if you can break even on your acquisition price you have done well. If you can also recoup your upgrade/restoration costs - home run ! The days of getting a barn find dirt cheap and bringing it up to driver status inexpensively are gone. The goal for most of us is to find a driver for a reasonable price and not find hidden issues later like a cracked block, bent frame, worn suspension, or massive rust. This is a real challenge if you are buying far from home and a detailed inspection is difficult. I think most of us just want a reliable driver rather than a car prepped for Pebble Beach. Those Drivers are out there, but the prices seem to be creeping up.
