Re: Would you spend $8000 to fix up an '85 240? 200 1985

Well...

No.

Even though he overspent, in my opinion, he still is being savvy about his cars. I guess mom & dad taught him something about money. Funny, I bet a lot of people see him driving his citation and laugh at the busted-out loser at the wheel. Of course perhaps he's not awash in debt to every credit company in the United States, scratching to pay a $700 lease payment for a new car, etc. In short, his daily driver might be a POS but he certainly has the dollars to buy ANY car he wants. If he actually wanted to show people what his story was all about.

So, at $8500, he might have spent a LOT on an old 240, but as far as cars are concerned, he's barely spent anything at all.
