[R129 SL] Off topic (etc.): CPI "Good" values since 1998

[Tom Reynolds]

Alan, 
        That's good to know.  In this economy, cash is king, and people
sometimes really NEED to sell and will go down farther.  Also, some markets
just don't have a big "niche" for SL types of cars, which means (either)
that you won't find a big selection there <g> or with not much demand, the
price can go lower.  Good time to buy, if you know what you're looking for
and don't get carried away, don't try to rush things.
