Buying is one thing, maintaining is another.

The buyer would hopefully leave some budget for repairs. But yet another thing is driving! How do you put a price tag on that experience or feeling? At what selling price would there be a comparable car on the market that you'd take over this?

eg if it sells for $50k, would you rather have a C6 Z06? at $80k a used Viper? At $100k an XYZ?

I'd rather have a mid-pack spec 911 racecar. OR, a spec e30 racecar, trailer, truck, a week of racing school, and a ton of consumable replacements ready and on hand.

I'd literally own any new car, available in the US, than this car.
