they are buying goyslop cars on payments that dont last until the term end, the repairs surpass the value of the car and the used parts arent worth it so they bail.  in the early 2000s i could do an engine on example a chevy blazer for under a grand, today that would cover my labour. used engines are 3-12+ grand, they wanted 2700 for a kia soul 1.6 alone.  category the classic cars in to winners vs/ losers,  only buy winners.  losers have no big value, cost more to repair then they are worth, not collectable, not niche.  winners are cars that need less then they are worth to make concourse, have collector value, have aftermarket support because they are popular. you cant lose money on it.  dont buy losers, even if you like it.  > oldfag car builder, the markets never coming back.
