Er, ummmm, *looks around nervously for angry Metro fans* Hey we've all made mistakes! The market here is so fickle that it's hard for people in other places to understand just how worthless they are here. The people that can afford to live in town either don't drive at all, or drive newer stuff, and the people that live in the suburbs don't want to come all the way into the city to look at a cheap car. And the cars aren't worth enough to bother shipping somewhere else. I had a big stash of them at one point, and just figured eventually people around here would come to their senses and there would be a demand for them. But nope. I'm sure if the price of gas doubled overnight that might change, but short of that happening they just kind of get ignored. It's too bad that's the way it is around here, but it is.
