All true enough. But there is one critical difference to my mind, this car
cannot be driven without destroying it's value. Lots of things deteriorate with
time even when a car isn't driven ... this isn't a 'new' car, it's a 30 year old
car with no miles on it. Those 30 year old redlines are sure pretty (no doubt
under a coat of tire black), but no way are they safe to drive. See that green
corrosion on the radiator ? What do you suppose the inside looks like after 30
years of being stored 'wet' ?
"As is" translates to "caveat emptor".
