Also: I'm single with no kids so $20k vacation better be something else!
You should assume that you will always lose money buying and selling these cars. Now, if you're of a certain ilk, it will be the greatest toy you have ever owned and, if you're lucky, you'll make a nickel or two if you do sell her. But you should assume you won't. For me, my ERA has been more fun than you could possibly imagine, and I've had her now for fifteen years. I wouldn't even dream of selling her.
