	RE: Mustangs, and used rental cars

	1. As far as Mustangs are concerned I have always enjoyed
the feel and driveablility of my '82 Mustang GT.  Yes, it is an
american car and therefore will inevitably degenerate at a fairly
quick pace to a rattle trap.  However, are you thoroughly convinced
your Supra won't?  I'm not.  The problem of cars deteriorating
quickly is not just one the american cars have.

	2.  Yes, fleet lots used to be an excellent place to
buy used cars, back when the companies used them 6 mos., and
the sold.  Now, however, the trend is to keep cars longer, up to
2 years in some cases.  Obviously this yields a much more broken
in (read down) car.

	3.  The impression I got from your letter is that you were
comparing 1 yr. old Mustangs and Capris to new Supras.  Given that
choice, yes the new Supra would be a better decision.
