I agree with Kees, but I would add that the best examples will be priced over €20,000 (especially the Coupe's and Cabrios). Caring owners will have spent much money to keep them in top condition, and will not be willing to part with their cars for the same kind of money that less well-cared for cars go for.

So it goes back to the famous saying: "you get what you pay for"!

Yepph, it's true. It all comes down to money....
However, it is not unusual with poorly maintained high priced cars. And it's those ones I like to stay out of...
