Only problem with that theory is that newer cars tend to be less fun and a tonne more money to buy.

As long as you go in eyes open, think these cars are wonderful value for money right now.

Part of my day job involves driving the latest and greatest new cars for a wide range of manufacturers. Very, very few new cars give the driving pleasure of an old Box.

UPDATE:

Went and checked out the car last night. Body of the car is VERY straight. Car has a ton of chips all over it. The engine lid looked the way the hood should have with the amount of chips on it. The front end was super clean but I could tell had been repainted. Car had a short throw installed, Borla exhaust. Interior had some holes in the seats and overall fade. Cosmetically I would give the car a 6.5 overall. The engine was the other story. At idle there was an odd rattle (could have been a shield but I could not locate it). When I drove it, the car seemed solid. At full throttle the car was not as healthy (quick) as the others I have driven. When pulling back into the lot there were a lot of ticking noises coming from the lifters. Overall it was certainly an $8000 dollar car but not the solid car I was hoping it to be. Sounded like the engine had some more issues that needed to be worked out.
