I'd have to disagree with Les.  We bought our V8 over a year ago, from a
dealer, for less than the bottom of the range he mentions.  Our car has the
converted brakes and has had the transmission replaced as well.  In Seattle,
a V8 may sell for that, but in Portland, OR, unless our car has appreciated
over the last year, I think the V8s are selling for much less.
