What are your thoughts on this M-Code

I guess that is true if you're looking to sell the car. But the true value is the experience of driving and enjoying it. That $500 stone chip example could be applied to every restored car on this forum, and regardless of what the "starting" value is, would still be a $500 stone chip!

Doesnt work that way, because its all relative. On an $8000 car, the stone chip may only be worth $5.
