There IS an accepted double standard though, according to the guy who
appraised mine, a car that has had (for the sake of round numbers) $15 000
put
into it is really worth maybe $10 000 and could only expect to sell for
$8500.
So the buyer gets the bargain. And the seller sees it that he / she put $15
000 into it, and that's what he/she feels it should sell for.  But that's
not
reality. That goes for any car, not just ours, and there are some that are
not
worth restoring/ modifying at all, so in that regard, we at least have
something decent to work with.
My .02, which cost me .03 to fix up, and is only really worth .0185 or so,
on
a good day!
