Because most of them got dumped and scrapped when they hit 20 yrs old...2000 to 2005. Seems someone on the list quit selling parts for them because so many were being scrapped. Now the survivors, if in somewhat reasonable shape, are worth more to the sellers, and some buyers. Kaleb C.

To him the whole car is a mess. Parts are hard to come by new and when they are available, are over priced. Many parts are the same as used in the R107, just not worth investing big cash in rusted out examples. Having one on his rack or lot gives him great embarrassment and devalues his
