So I am halfway through another deployment, and this time I'm spending the extra money on me. Last deployment I used the cash to help purchase a house and spent 10k on an econobox I hated at the request of the girlfriend at the time.
This time the wife said "you need to buy something that will make you happy, like a mustang, you earned it." Which is why she is the wife in the first place and the other chic is the ex-girlfriend.
Anyway, I have been combing craigslist and ebay and just been really frustrated with the quality of foxbodies I have seen and the asking prices. I know there is always room between asking price and what the seller will really accept, but some of them just seem outrageous.
The last time I owned a fox was in 2005. It was an 89 LX it had 130k with basic bolt ons and was in fair shape. I sold it before I went away to basic for $3200 while asking $3800 which is what I bought it for in 04. As far as quality I would buy the exact same car, but not for the same price.
Am I crazy to think that the same car would be worth a bit less eight years later? like $3000.
Do you think we as enthusiasts place to much value on these cars because we love them so much? I mean outside of our community it is just a 20 year old car with outdated technology. I don' think they really have a world wide appeal like say a 65 fastback does.
I don't know, I probably just need some sleep and to get home, fml.
