James:
I say forget about resale value.  If it goes up, great, if 
not you still get to drive something interesting and fun. 
If you compare that to a new Accord or Camry, which now 
cost in the high 20k's your Berlina has quite a bit of 
value.  
I have a really decent '73 Spider that I don't drive on 
rainy or snowy days.  That is as much babying as it gets. 
When something breaks or wears out, I fix it.  Otherwise, 
I drive the hell out of it.

My 10 year old daughter told me the other day "you know 
dad, I really like the way this car feels and sounds." 
That is worth millions.
