Default How much?
I love my 95 T/A, its super clean
I picked it up for under 10 grand and put 60$ of wax on, looks new


Point: Every time i show off my car everyone wants to know how much i paid, They always guess like 40,000

wanted to know if this happen often with these car and if some ones guess was higher than 40K.

Haha, I like that. I think I'm going to start saying that from now on.
But I HAVE had 1 person guess my car was around $40,000. It was a hot blonde. But yes, most think around $30,000.
