Economy
Value
Sound cars will not lose value if regular jobs are done. Rusty old cars will just be a drain. Convertables will always command premium
Costs
Lots about, so buy slowly and you can get good and cheap. Superb specialist spares network, but these are old performance cars and need cosseting.
