I had a gold 1996 Buick Roadmaster that my parents gave to me when they got themselves a Cadillac. I loved that car. It was smooth, quiet, and quite a rocketship for its size.
It wants your looooOOOOO-oooooo-OOOOO-oooo-OOOOVE!!!
If you’re looking for a track rat that you can still drive to work occasionally, but don’t want to build your own, this is a NP.
That is an excellent point.
I called it NP with a couple of assumptions. First is that the engine actually runs and is in good shape. A running, supercharged, injected hemi is probably worth at least half his asking price, probably more. The chassis is probably worth a few grand, at least.
That is a LOT of miles, but man, it appears to have aged gracefully. I'm giving it a NP
“Fresh paint"
Well, the ad says $15k, and I think that’s within negotiating distance of NP. I’d haggle over the missing stereo and spare, but I think we could reach an agreement.
I already daily drive a 30 year old motorcycle to work, so I'm almost a third of the way there!
It’s gotta be Nissan.
$1000/year really isn't that bad for a super sedan like this. However, he probably didn't spend that $25k over the last 25 years. He probably spent it in the last 3 years, and now he (reasonably) wants out!
No dice. The owner has receipts for repairs and maintenance totaling more than he's asking for the car. The new owner can probably expect more of the same. Is it really the ultimate driving machine, or just the ultimate bank account emptier?
Nice truck, nice price, can't believe it's not gone already.
Wow! That car looks great! The only thing that could make it better would the the Car and Driver preferred de Sade package.
“Or give us your fantasy app that doesn’t exist, but maybe could someday. What is it and what does it do?”
I thought I was gonna be NP, but then I looked at all the pics. That paint job looks pretty hack, and it looks to be hiding some bad repairs. There’s probably rust, particularly around the windows and the windshield header. That’s gonna be a pain to fix.
I remember Car and Driver did a test of similar vans used in a national park in Wyoming, I believe. They were bright yellow, and one of the guys who drove them regularly told of how one day, it was so cold, he got in one, slammed the door, and heard a sound like leaves falling. He opened the door and looked down where…
I voted NP for the person who wants a British sporty car.
Fifty-seven hundred pounds, eh? My burning question is will it crush a Harbor Freight floor jack and/or stands?
