Re: Windshield wipers and Stuff


Goodadvise Mike. I know I would miss this silly car immediately when it sells. The fact is, I can't take it to Mexico. I've looked into the Dutton, but it is just not very appealing. However, it would work better in a salt environment. The thought of selling the Amphi makes me ill. It's like taking your dog to the vet to be put down. You know you have to do it, but can't. There comes a time. Just not now.

Glenn,

A common theme amongst people who have sold their amphis is .... regret. Some have also found that only 3 years after selling that they can no longer afford to get back in the game due to the rising value of these suckers. There is indeed an appeal to the Amphi that can not be matched by other vehicles.

I think we all go through points where selling off Amphi looks tempting. When Amphi is in rough shape you question if it is worth sinking the time and money into fixing. When she is in perfect shape you start looking at those crazy auction prices and thinking that you could pay off a big chunk of the mortgage.

If you need to sell her that is one thing. If not, step back, take a bit of time, and see if the decision still seems as clear.

Cheers.

Mike
