[net.auto] Ridiculous Prices

abdul@lpi3230.UUCP (Abdul Nabi) (05/15/84)

After seeing $12,500 prices for those little CRX's, I wonder why anyone would
pay that much for the little thing.  For $12,000 I can get a fully blown
'84 Mustang GT.  Which do you think would be more fun (0-60 in 8 sec or so,
compared to 0-60 in under 7 sec.)?  Now the '84 GT won't win any beauty
contests, but in my opinion the CRX ain't that great either.  So why wait
months for some random number generator to ship your CRX, when you could get
a lot better for the price. (I'm not saying the GT is the only car, there are
a lot of cars in the $12,000 price range that are better than the CRX, and
more easily available, heck you could even get a '71-'72 used Pantara!).

With a Honda its probably more like "Pay me now", whereas 
with a Ford its more like "Pay me later". 
Think about it, but don't ever forget """"Fix Or Repair Daily",
"First On Repair Day", or finally "F*cking Old Rebuilt Dodge".

For that matter, you could probably get a 1969 Boss 302 Mustang and still
have a few thousand left to buy a real nice stereo for your bedroom.
If you are interested in seeing nice Mustangs go to the Holiday Inn in
Port Jervis, NY on May 26 or 27. There is a car show there.

You must not forget the true meaning of FORD. 'First On Race Day' is what 

econoboxes. How about net.auto.dull. Lets here more about fast American
Muscle Cars.

I'd be willing to say that the Honda will out-corner and out-brake your
302 any day  (love them 4-wheel drums!)
