Yep. I would have never looked at one as a younger person, but now that I’m older, it’s like, hey a four seat convertible that you can get basic GM parts for, everything works, it’s clean, was kept in climate controlled storage for a decade, and a low price for all of that? NP for sure!

Between the fact that it was probably Grandpa’s car, and that it was in storage that long (he probaby died or lost the storage or current owner doesn’t want to pay for it as a result of either), I’d say it’s safe from rust. I’d check of course, but this seems like the ideal situation given the location.

Worth checking underneath, but presumably it wasn’t driven much or at all in winter. The miles would seem to bear this out. Assuming it checks out, easy NP. Those seats look inviting.

It’s funny, in their latter days Oldsmobiles were watchwords for generic, uninteresting design, but that broad, simplistic styling has made them age into pretty solid examples of 90s/early aughts design. I like this.

Absolute NP. Lots of potential buyers for this thing — new/teen driver, collector, middle aged nostalgia buyer, summer/beach runaround car, FL retiree, or frankly anyone with a $4K budget that needs something generally reliable. 

If the pilot was flying upside down?

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!

ND. Those are rattletraps.

The story is what makes it great for me, but that only makes sense if you’re a Marvel fan.  ;)

Hawkeye : did you take his pulse?

No lights, no siren, no special privileges.

I just can’t get past willingly buying something that looks like it was made for a futuristic movie made in the 1990s like Demolition Man.

Blinding other motorists is the American way. There’s a reason that the party of asshole lifted truck drivers with extra bright headlights just took the whole country

Why’d they charge you?

The only surprising thing about this story is how nothing in it is surprising.

You think it’s bad now, just wait.

This perfectly sums up our healthcare system.

I saw one, and was surprised it looked a little less ugly in person.

They know what they’ve got, but they don’t want to keep it.  I wonder why.

Finally saw one of these on the road last week. Damn, they’re even uglier in person.
