Wow! $5-$6K! I find that hard to believe. I bought my '86 4 years ago for $3150. It has 130K miles on it now, but is in excellent shape and well taken care of. I've had it in the paper once or twice for $3200 - not one call. Scandia figured it was worth about $3500 a year ago. $5-$6K seems like a stretch, but if that is the case, I should have bought two 900's, eh? Maybe Carter was quoting what they would TRY to get for a used car on their lot? In any case, good luck with it...
