Just getting caught up on the various threads. I agree with all that's being said here. My stock answer is that "one of these will cost you $20K. You can pay for it up front and enjoy driving it or you can get a fixer-up'r relatively cheap and spend the money AND time to get it trustworthy." That was a comment someone on the list made when I started looking and asking here and I believe it to be a good summary. YMMV.
