    Looks too good for $1500. Looks well-optioned and in pretty good condition. His asking price should be double what it is. On the other hand, some people just want the car gone.

    A little more description (or any at all, really) would help.

    It does look better than it should at that price.
    Another indication the seller doesn't know what he has......"Engine - 6 cylinders"

    I looked at this one last Winter. It's quite rusty underneath.

    Ahhhh, so the truth comes out................



    I don't think I've ever seen a brown one of these ever, I like it just because it's a colour...well I've never seen one before! Not partial to lite tan interiors but the dark hue works for me on this one, I ( just my liking) would dye the seats a darker hue to better blend in with all the brown inside..... but then there is that rust thing, and it's across the border, and...................

    Damn rust! Here in Texas that car would be all faded, the dash warped, wood gone, and the interior would be ratty in general for the heat, but the frame would be spotless.

    I drove almost two hours to see it. It looked nice on the outside, but was pretty crusty underneath. I had an '82 Cadillac Sedan deVille at the time and that was rust-free. Since that would have been the car the Buick replaced, I couldn't see getting into something with rust issues.
