.......Except when you follow-up to try to buy it, at, or for more than it went for to the highest bidder..... Case closed, it did go for at or more than you offered to pay seller for it.

If it's "sold" then how could the guy sell it twice? There are dumbies on both sides of the market. Some people actually believe the prices and buy one for sky high values- doesn't mean YOU can sell yours for that price. A quick look at CR or AT will give you much more realistic values.

The decrepit, prehistoric years before aren't worth jack-squat........and the '90s ones are always wild-cards on whether their engines will blow.

Basically, the 1987 is the King of the Hill!

I always thought the 94s and 95s were the best of the best but that's just me. My dad had an 87 300D sedan that he bought new and went through about 3 turbos and/or trap oxidizers during his ownership. If someone told him back then that that motor would one day become an object of affection he would have gotten a good laugh...
