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.

Not for me then. I drive cars into the ground. But I can generally, and deeply, identify with the arousal sparked by the prospect of achieving some level of symbiotic union with a mechanical masterwork. Despite this, I must balance any deep expression of understanding and sentimentality with a crude counter-demonstration of sardonic nonchalance: (NSFW) https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x359dd
