Oil prices man.

We're on a market bubble for used cars, exotics and high ends especially. The market will crash eventually and prices will even out, it's just a matter of time and patience.

If oil; prices spike or the economy collapses again, people will unload and the people who saved their money will be off best. Like they have been in the past.

No reason not to, if the car is in decent condition.

Look for rust around the rear axle mounting points, that's the only model-specific weakness.

Paid 3 grand for mine 5 years ago. Bone stock, full interior, clean body, factory KA in good shape and had been converted to a 5spd, had been recently resprayed the factory red, no rust, 120k on the clock, uncracked dash, etc. Was some middle aged guy's weekend toy, found it on Craigslist.

Haven't found another good one since and get a lot of offers to buy it from teenagers in parking lots but I know I won't find another good one if I let it go.
