I'm very tempted to get a Karmann Ghia for my next car.

I didn’t sell back then and a good thing I didn’t because the car I wanted to sell ended up being the only one not requiring repairs.

Depending on the cars mileage and physical appearance you could put it up on marketplace as-is inop for a price you don’t expect to get, rarely pays to scrap out unless you have lots of space and time.
I know. I was trying to buy inopperable Prii for spare parts (make one car out of two) and couldn't get one for a reasonable price. I should have sold it then, back when it still ran and the dash, heater, A/C and infotainment all worked. I just don't understand why they have stopped one by one.
