Ideally, I'd like to focus on cars from the 80s and 90s that went through a period of undesirability and are now on their way up in value. Many people may think the Prelude was a fluke or a lucky find, but I think it can be done again, especially if I broaden my horizon a bit. Obviously, it's better to stick with what I know best (90s Japanese stuff), but I think there's money to be made on some other brands.

Example: https://charlotte.craigslist.org/cto/d/ ... 23458.html 1993 MB 500SL with 56k, one owner for $6500.

BaT comp: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1993- ... z-500sl-5/ 93 500SL with 71k, sold for $10k

This is a thinner margin that I'm willing to accept, especially on a 25 year old Mercedes where a lot can go wrong, but it is an example of where money can be made.

Price drop on aisle M: https://charlotte.craigslist.org/cto/d/ ... 04240.html Now $4700 firm. This is almost in the range where it might be worth a shot.
