Some sour grapes out there?

Assuming that the description is true, that is an outstanding vehicle. There will always be a strong market for cars like this. There are collectors who want the best cars and don't quibble much about price, especially for a popular model in good colors.

If the car was properly stored, I don't think that the body seals would be much of a problem. And if the oil and other fluids were changed a few times, the mechnanicals are fine. Maybe brake hoses, possibly valve seals, certainily tires, but otherwise it is a new car.

And some of us like to drive 'em, and some like to collect 'em. Who's to say what's better? The beauty of this car is that the new owner can go either way and not get hurt.
