What kind of complex do you want to move into that even weathers the choice of having to get another car. That seems kind of excessive.

Well I would not move into a place that required my own private security guard to be sure my car was OK, but shiznit aways seems to happen to older nice cars in parking lots. I think getting a beater is perfectly reasonable, course if I have less than 2-3 extra cars I start getting nervous.

One that would be reliable and have a good body I could see going for 700 - 1000 depending on mileage.

Actually, and 85 fox body 6 cyl is becoming very rare and thus is going up in book value according to collectors. A 4 cyl I can see going for 700- 1000. However, give it a few years and they'll be going up in value in the blue books.

STAY FOR COLLEGE....If you have the chance, don't pass it up. Wish I had that opportunity again. College is something that once you pass the chance, you will most likely not get it again. My wife finally went back, 11 years later, and when she finishes, maybe I'll get to consider finishing my degree. Seems like something else is always more important. STAY THERE...
