If you LOVE the car, it's worth whatever you're willing to throw at it. If you're just looking to turn a car for a guess of a grand "profit" you're probably barking at the moon. And if momma has a vote that makes the risk factor WAAAYYY higher (remember the old truism; when momma ain't happy ain't nobody happy!)

I personally like these cars, but the line of people who want, and can afford, one of these isn't very long, which means they're not easy to unload. My guess would be that if the goal is to make a buck, parting it out would hold more promise than trying to "spruce it up". Unless you know of a remake of "Animal House" in production.
