    I too prefer the extra doors as a practical matter, and they can look nice if done properly.

    I am about ready to buy it just so I can put the vacuum hoses back up under the dash where they need to be instead of draped down under the dash, lol. That is been bugging me from the first time I have seen this car. lol.

    So, it went from $5000 to $7500, now down to $6900. I wonder if the first price increase (and relocation from WA state to CA) was someone trying to flip it? And now the flipper has lowered his price?

    Sure is a gorgeous car, but will be a hard sale, being a four door. There aren't many of us that like four doors, so it will take the right person with the extra cash. It was a great deal at $5k.

    It's like buying a new old car for under seven grand. If you buy this for nothing more than transportation, its a steal. If you are looking at it as an investment, it won't pay off.

    I say buy it and drive it.

    It is a beauty, I love it. Sure do not see many, but I swear I am going to have to get me a plane ticket and fly to the car and put those vacuum hoses back in their place! That is driving me insane. LOL!!!

    It's in Southern California. So, assuming it's been there all this life, you can be pretty confident this is a very solid vehicle - as in NO rust.

    When it was originally listed, it was in Washington state. Still, it looks pretty soild from what we can see.

    I wish I didn't have the "wagon" bug! This looks like a great car!

    I love this car. It is a rare one for sure, being the top of the line Brougham. I would love to have it if I had the space and extra cash. I hope whoever buys it thought tucks those vacuum lines back up in the dash where they belong. ;)
