    To be fair most of that are probably in worse nick or lower performance than the Nova, but I doubt I'd spend 7k on it either, I'd be looking at an s2000 with 4k to spend on parts, or a very well sorted skyline for that money.... or that Manta A project I've been wanting for years

    Im sure you will agree with me when I say just about everything on your list their will cost a hell of a lot more to maintain,insure and enjoy Mike! But we all have our own opinion and given the choice I guess we would all spend our cash differently. A little more of my take on it is here in the original thread..............

    Nick.
    Without a shadow of a doubt definetly true, but seriously, shelling out seven large on a Nova :S youd have to be off your head on crack to even contemplate doing that :S

    And its not as if its going to significantly go up in value over time as Novas, and GM on a whole dont have the childhood dream appeal compared to 80's Fords, they will never ever demand the same kinda money as RS 1600i's for example.
