Am curious about how you think you know how much I paid...Karnak I presume...

Well actually depending on how you divide the cost...I paid more than $8K for it...the pair were $13000 plus shipping...another $1200, so the total was $14,200...given the condition of the 16V, I would not assign any more than a value of around $4000..engine blew in the first month, trans/diff made a lot of noise, car was so low as to be undriveable...exhaust so loud I would have been pulled over in the first 10 miles...Assigning a value of $4000 to that car is generous..so the actual cost of the 3.2...was at least $9,600...2 years ago in March. Plus I dumped at least another $3000 into it....since then in improvements...so my cost of that car over the last two years is more like $12,600.

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to explain Sev
