[s-cars] '92 S4 for sale at S-Fest

[Dave Forgie]

I am sure there was a time in the early 1970's when people were saying 
"Hell, that old 'cuda ragtop with that honking big 426, sittin' out back by 
the barn,  well that's such a gas guzzler, it should just be taken off to the 
scrap yard and crushed.  Least I can get some money for it".

Ever watch Barrett Jackson?

I am NOT saying the S-car is in the same league as a 426 HEMI Cuda 
convertible but it is a special car and deserves some respect.  Throwing 
them away at bargain basement prices just drives the market down 
further and further.

I don't expect to "win" this discussion.  I didn't even start it with a straight
 face. But as usual with these forums, its getting out of hand.

PART 'EM ALL. Turn S//Fest into a wrecking yard. Go nuts.

Dave you're missing... well the biggest factor in the whole thing. It's not
WORTH more than 5k. What do you want the guy to do, refuse offers below 8k
and sit on the car for another year because it won't sell? Rare? yes.
Desirable? no.

Our cars may be limited, but the bottom line is they aren't worth much.
We're in this for the love of the vehicle, not to make a buck. Who cares if
it gets parted out, it'll make yours worth more.
