eBay Berlina

> I am sure many have seen or heard of the $9,000.00 Berlina currently on

> condition.  The dash is perfect except for the modern radio.  The body is
> extremely straight.  Re-painted white.  A fair paint job in good
> condition.  Minor bubbling on the drivers door.  The other expected rust
> spots were in excellent condition.  Minor surface rust in the trunk, but
> no holes under the spare tire.

> All in all, a very nice car.

> So, what is the most someone would pay for a Berlina?  I see that there is
> a GTV on eBay that is now over $15k.  Would anyone pay $9k for a Berlina?
