    Yeah, I think we're saying the same thing here, for very slightly different points. If someone gave me a brand new Focus then I'd sell it and buy another E30.

    My German father-in-law, rest his soul, used to have a saying that he lived by, "Buy cheap, buy twice." Surprising how often that proves to be true.

    Well, the thing I've found with old BMs is that they are quite expensive to buy per se, but they are very cheap to own.
