just goes to show - as I think most of us know - cars in general are not a good investment, and ConTiques/SVTs are a harder sell than most. mod them for your own enjoyment, but don't expect to recoup much investment. I'm starting to think my 95 Mystique will be worth more parted out than sold whole...
so, after lamenting the demise of my Mystique, what do I do? go out and buy another brand new car and prepare for tons of depreciation...

Good luck Dan, hope you get a decent price for the car and that she finds a good home.
