Arizona and the southwest is an area I'd strongly consider moving to if I was looking to move.
To be honest, I've noticed the prices on classic cars are absolutely ridiculous lately. I see piles of shit that don't necessarily even run advertised for $7-15K, and cars that are pretty nice but not show cars by any stretch for 20-30K.
I thought I could find a nice driver for 8-12K but that is increasingly hard to find.
