Do you think that "wishful thinking" price has an effect on prices overall. I mean is there a "false" price value mindest created because people see these inflated ads? Just a thought. I personally think the value all depends on the vehicle and the person buying it. I have never paid more than $500 for any of mine and have had serious offers up to $2000 right off the street for my 85' GL.
