Dearest Sellers and Fellers,
Do not come to Imperial-land or AnyOldCarville
and expect to make money. As we ALL eventually find out, these
ladies are labors of love, a salute to those who came before us and a
gift to those who would take them on after we are gone. These aren't
like vindictive ex-wives we can't wait to unload, but more like the old
girlfriend/present wife who you never tire to think of, regardless of
where you tread. I have LOVED every car I have ever had and I
cannot say that about my choices in real women!!!
A new thread then perhaps, if I am using the
terminology correctly: of what you have into your cars as of now, what
would be the realistic recoup, including a fair amount for YOUR TIME (for that
is truly how they stay on the road!!!), should the need to sell arise,
percentage-wise?
I know some have had their cars for years
etc. but generally speaking and understanding that "showroom" and "mint" are
EXTREMELY arbitrary and that all is relative, I would be very
happy to see 80% of my money (buy + my time + parts/shop time)
as I have "fought steel" in order to keep my lady presentable and
roadworthy during my association with her over the years and I would be
THRILLED with even less than that, should it be going to another
Imperialist !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
