A good Metro is pretty much like my '93 Ford Festiva-it was a fairly inexpensive, dependable and fuel-efficient vehicle, made to get from points A to B. I'm just going to drive mine until it breaks, fix it until I can't anymore, find a fellow Festiva owner and part it out.

My advice? Just drive it and enjoy the FE. Modify the Metro as skill and money allows. Fight the body rust as it appears, and when it gets too bad to fix-and threatens structural integrity-either part it out or fabricate a new, lightweight chassis for the ultimate kit car(or trike, or bike, etc).

I wouldn't worry about future value-speculation on future value always ends in tragedy. If you find a Metro, just enjoy it. Keep it stock, go EV or Diesel, go three-wheel, whatever. Just have fun.
