1992 sp?

[Ryan Wright]

Leroy,

Price just seems extreme to me. That's all. I could get an early
nineties PT-40 for the same price. Saw lots of 'em for sale for
~$80-$90k a little over a year ago when I was in the market. I'm not
talking about beaters, either. While you wonder why we question
prices, I wonder why people ask so much for their coach that it never
sells and let it sit on the market for years on end. I mean, it's no
sweat off my back, but it does baffle my mind. :-)

I bought a super clean coach with nothing wrong with it. I still have
to fix things here and there; it's old, things fail, but I'd turn the
key right now and drive cross country without a concern if I had a
reason to.

Maybe I'm wrong and someone will run out and give 'em $80k for it. I
hope they do, but I suspect we'll see it relisted closer to $65k-70k
this fall.
