[urq] They don't sell well on the west coast. : Ur Quattro Prices

[steven j]

We east coasters want them, and some of the ones that
sold for top $$ were in MA, CT.  Many cars on this
coast are rust buckets so we need your west coast
cars. 

Still there has been some fizzle.  No UPG this year on
the east coast.  Lots of NLA parts complaints. 

I personally burned up all my vacation time for this
year.  I can't pick up a west coast car.  Maybe in a
few years I'll have lots of time.   I dont' think I'll
loose out by waiting till 2009 to buy my 2nd.  

Yea - maybe prices are dropping.
