Of course it is your choice on what you purchase, but I would hold out without spending extra money on another vehicle and sometime in the near future purchase something as exclusive, but updated...
There is truth in your point. I do enjoy old cars. Others in this county enjoy other antiques, such as furniture, dishes, candelabras and more. I think for many of us it's just nostalgia. In my case My first car was one like this one. So in fact it would be just a capricious purchase.
Thanks for you input. It's always welcome.
