I have a friend who has a Cadillac Allante. Parts for them are difficult to find and very expensive. He belongs to an Allante club. When the members find an Allante cheap enough, they chip in, pick it up and stash it. Then when expensive parts go bad, they can pull from their parts cars rather than being held hostage by the dealer or the aftermarket. Not a bad idea...just a thought.

Works for me. If I drag one more P.O.S. car home, I'll be sleeping in it!
