Cars, as in all currentcars, are of excellent quality now, and will

last one, a '95'er) is appealing. Style has never been much of a
consideration, utility is more important.

That's the point!

Since style IS important to many folks, you get to buy the depreciated
car, all utility included, at a large discount. G
