I said no only due to pricing, and it's not that I couldn't afford to buy them, I just never enjoyed a vehicle after soaking a lot of money into one. I drive all my vehicles in the past regardless of value or rarity, or collector value.
But, that being said, the prices in your initial post is probably my limit, under 1k or I pass, I put my money into drive train primarily. Nothing wrong with spending your money as you see fit, this is why this thread is really useless, you have to decide for yourself the value TO YOU if it's worth it. Better to drive with a smile on your face you couldn't scrape off with a chisel vs driving in fear and misery or limiting driving due to worry over damage loss of value etc.
