The P1800 came in coupe and shooting brake style. The coupe, you called it a sedan yesterday but I didn't want to argue, is the two door variety.

There's the shooting brake, which you might think of as a station wagon. That style really isn't me, with the P1800, even though I love wagons. I'm a pretty big enthusiast, but not a walking encyclopedia.

I also most bought one a while back, but I declined. Well, it's more like the person tried hard to sell me their car so that I could pay them to restore it. I probably should have bought it.

If you're not too picky, you can get into one for less than $10k. If you want near pristine, it's up to three times as much. It's very affordable. You can buy a beat up one for just a few grand and do the work yourself.

I deny ever calling it a sedan. ....how much do used/good-condition parts for one of these go for compared to a modern vehicle with planned-obsolescence built-in more prominently?

They're quite a bit more to maintain, and today's vehicles are mechanically more reliable and longer lasting.

There's not a lot of call for B30 engine parts, or drive train. So, parts are costly. At the same time, I'd be surprised if I put more than 1,000 miles on it in a year.
