first off all that BS is coming from the news. New cars suck plus you can't get parts for them. If you do damn near have to morguage your home to pay for parts!!! People that have used cars are keeping them up and in good working. IF they want to sell they don't go to dealers anymore because they pretty much steal the car from you. I have a 90 CRX good shape maintenance is good could use paint but looks aren't priority. I routinely get offers of 7,ooo and up for it. Volkswagen that is in not good condition at all $2500 and one in good shape run you about $10-12.000. The used car market is booming and if you can fix one up you can name your price.
