"I am sure there is a totally different type of buyer today for these vs new in 1988."

You mean, someone who would buy an $800 car is different from someone who buys a new car? Incredible.

Haha, yes I should say that's a pretty different demographic - I don't think many new Lincoln buyers in 1988 were removing the back seat to carry their tools. But these are great cars for the impecunious second hand buyer, especially if you're someone who doesn't drive a lot of miles. If you just drive a little bit, the gas mileage isn't much of a factor.
