I think the asking price is high, too, but it's not outrageous as a s tarting point. Car looks very nice. There's no guarantee he'll get that price. One thing we never know with craigslist ads is what cars ultimately sell for if they ever do. You can't go by asking price to judge the market.

 

I just noticed the carpet looks turquoise to me looking at the photos, it might have been replaced.

 

The car is very nice indeed and the price isn't completely outrageous, but I'm not sure there's a buyer for it at that $$ amount. If the AC and all the options work it's definitely within reason to think the price has merit.

 

I saw that too. In the ad he says the carpet has been replaced. It looks like cheap carpet in the pics, but cameras have a funny way of making slight differences in color really stand out. It might be fine. Overall it is a pretty nice car. Some paint peeling on the D (?) pillars that is difficult to see in the pics.

 

Hard to see, but the rear bumper filler seems okay. I wouldn't mind this car at all. Price is not way to high either. If I would be in the market I would ask a reliable person to go and see it.

 

I'm never near most of these

 

Price is very much in line. very realistic based on market today

 

Price down to $7000.

 

I like the soda can holder in mid. Anybody knows of this extra? Could use in the Buick and in the Cadillac both.

 

Think it’s a garden variety hump holder. Don’t think it’s a dealer or factory option. I haven’t seen them in the stores lately but I think you can still get one. I have a couple of 80’s cars with them. Quite handy and you can put them in the trunk when showing the car or have 3 in the front seat.

 

I got one of these for the Vista, got it from Auto Zone, was there a couple of days ago and saw some still on the shelf. Although not very attractive, it is practical. I started on a custom made console a few weeks ago.....Longroofs Rule!

 

I concur with you on that 60Mercman.....Longroofs Rule!

 

Totally this. They have fallen out of popularity mostly because cars tend to come with center consoles standard these days, but trucks still don't. I personally have never been able to keep one on the center hump without it going flying off to the side when I have to make a hard turn, but plenty of people solve that with drilling sheet metal screws through them into the carpet and floor (I do NOT advocate this).

 

With a little modification I made mine to set on the bench seat, like I said before not all that attractive but it gives you a spot for your beverages and some what of a arm rest. Not very comfortable thus the reason for me to make my own console.....Longroofs Rule!
