1988 Pontiac Safari

Claimed 29k right miles. I'd want a close inspection of a Minn. car.

Makes me miss my beautiful '89 Safari that I could not even give away a few years ago. lol. This one looks nice... it looks like it could use some front springs, this one is sagging in the front. Also needs white-wall tires.

 

Nice-looking car.

Why is the headlight at the far left in this photo darker than the rest? You see that sometimes. Is it because the seal has been broken and moisture has gotten in? Seems like they could replace the headlight on a car they're asking nearly $10,000 for.

 

More likely that the bulb itself is burnt out or on its way out and dimmer than the rest, although water intrusion can cause this too. Indeed, you would think a $15 bulb would be something they'd replace for the asking price.

 

That's a sealed-beam headlight, though, right? You have to replace the whole headlight, I believe, not just the bulb.

 

Looks rather clean. Not sure about 8K, but its clean.

 

The asking price is just under $10K. It's a dealer.

 

Replace the unit, it's a sealed-beam light. That condition is common to the rectangular sealed units. As they get old, they do that. They might be good for years on, or go tits-up at anytime. I agree - a detail item the needs attention, considering the asking price.

 

Patrick,
You are TOO FUNNY PAL !!!! I haven't heard that expression since high school!!!

 

Good looking Pontiac regardless.

Used that phrase all through my military time, and after that, too. In fact, I never heard that phrase in high school.
