Sure, a $3995 import car. Yeah just like those base sticker prices on a $6400 4x4 Subaru and a $6100 Honda Civic. No one in this hemisphere ever paid base sticker price for an import in the last 3 years unless he was the editor of Road&Track magazine. Otherwise they unload them at the dock, slap on $1000-$4000 worth of pinstriping and Deluxe sport mirrors, then ship them to the dealers. Yeah, yeah, you scream, I bought my Audi at base sticker price and my Volvo too. You forget, though, that these cars are already marked up 100% and so overpriced, that the dealers make a profit anyway. When someone shells out $4000 and gets a new car and change then I'll eat my Ford. +-------------------------------------+ +------------------------------------+ | USENET: decvax!ittvax!sii!dmcnh!gts | | DISCLAIMER: The content of this | | USMail: 14-F Hampshire Drive | | message is the sole responsibility | | Nashua, NH 03063 | | of Schafer and doesn't necessarily | | NEBell: (603) 880-2069 | | reflect the policies of Datamedia. | +-------------------------------------+ +------------------------------------+ "If I had been a Bokonist then, that statement would have made me howl." -KVJr
