Yowza, disagree. 5k * 4 times that = 20 thousand dollars? US Dollars?
It would take a collector, a pristine car AND it being considered a classic to 
warrant 20 grand. I just don't see it with the CQ. Gorgeous car. I owned one 
and now own a 91 90-20vq, but 20 grand they are not. It's all based on what 
someone is willing to pay, and how many do you think would pay 20 grand for a 
20 year old non-classic?
