Not quite, especially if you don't do the mods or don't have the equipment
to do the mods yourself. My friend had a severely modified Corrado and it
would have cost him $800 in mechanic's payments to bring it back to stock.

Of course, a Corrado is more of a pursued 'commodity' than a GLX, but he
posted it in a used car magazine, and got three calls in the first 48
hours, and already has a buyer lined up.
