A-6 as a fad

[Mike Arman]

Comment was made by a Colorado lister that many A-6 buyers seem to get them
only because they are "in" right now, and they couldn't care less about the
technology - just the image.

Personally, I hope that is 1,000 percent true! Once the "fad" is over,
there are going to be a lot of rather new-ish low mileage A-6s out there
available cheap because now they are "out" - last year's fad. When people
buy cars based on non-automotive reasons, as soon as the reality of the car
intrudes (leaky racks, electrical problems, it costs HOW MUCH to change the
timing belt???), they will sell them very quickly, and at unusually low
prices. Then they move on to the next fad.

This allows us to buy these cars, which WE know about, understand
(somewhat) and can actually fix (sometimes) for very reasonable money.

All things come to those who wait. Silver with blue leather upholstery,
standard shift, please. Yes, I can change the timing belt myself . . .
