Re: [Chrysler300] Re: The value of our cars

["Dave Schwandt" <finsruskw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Joe,

You sound like my kinda guy!!
Many of us, myself included, will NEVER have the kind of scratch to even be 
associated with these types, most of whom, couldn't change their own oil or 
replace a spark plug if their life depended on it!!

At least I can have some fun with my 300's.
A whole lot more enjoyable than watching a shrinking portfolio!!

IMHO

Dave Schwandt
