Good point.

I guess people put a different value on things. I just wish the replacement 
parts followed the same philosophy. Example, totally rebuilt engines shouldn't 
go for more than $ 200 bucks. Replacement fenders $ 25 each. Carb $ 5 bucks 
and so on. If I sell the car I'm offered a couple of hundred. If I try and 
replace a broken window, it costs me a couple hundred. 

Sounds like fuzzy math. The first point I made is to say the cumulative price 
of the car should somewhat reflect the availabilty and replacement cost of 
the total parts. 

The second point I made about the rusty Honda was to give relative value. 

I understand your point though!


I'll just be glad to sell it. I have had it for thirty four years and am now 
embarrassed that I let something so worthless occupy such an important part of 
my life. Live and learn. Hope someone else can learn from my mistake.
