Re: "Where did you get it?"

["Toby Peterson" <tobyp@xxxx>]

My stock response to this question is "The car sold for $25,000 new in 
1981". They usually say "huh!", and wander away. The more persistent 
ones come back with "How much is it worth now?". My reply to that is 
that you can buy an essentially "factory-refurbished" car for around 
$35,000, ranging all the way down to under $10,000 for a project car. 
That usually satisfies them. Hope that helps.
