Hi. just take a look at how things are My Chrysler Le Baron was brand new in 1979 In 1989 was an excelent car but looked like a piece of junk Last year I overhauled it.everything with original parts Now it looks brand new, it runs as new, and everyone wants to ride in it.It even became more appreciated than a new one, People keep stopping me everywhere with offers, and I have been offered already as much as three times its value.... !!! Not same with computers though... But it could be the same with pianos...........
