Old car prices, omg.

What the heck is going on with old car prices lately. Is it Barret Jackson syndrome or what.

I've been looking for several months for what I'd basically call a retirement project car/truck.

But everything I'm seeing for sale lately that is in the 5K to 10K price range is just beat up, rusty junk! I'm not interested in paying 8K for a pile of crap that needs total restoration, body panels, interiors, extensive rust repair, etc.

If something nice does pop up, it's sold in a few hours. My guess is too many flippers who will jump on anything that looks like they could make a buck on.

It's just been very frustrating trying to find something that wont drain my bank account just to acquire it.
