if you wreck a g35, will it still be worth 20 grand?

if you spend 8 grand on a 240sx, do you think you'll be able to get 7 grand for it?

if your dad buys you a mercedes and you wreck it....will it be worth anything?

i don't see the logic in that idea as the basis for the decision about buying this car.

buying someone elses headache is not a wise move, that car definately needs a walboro but if everything else is in pretty good shape, you should use the fact that it doesn't run like a champ as leverage for your purchase price of it, then come out ahead...just my .02
