    I am 99.9% this is the same Caprice Estate that I was a day away from purchasing for $2500.00 a few months ago. I was ready to send the $ and was told it was sold.

    Auction ended today at $8600 - reserve not met. That's probably the upper end of what it is really worth.

    Still there and the then $20k price is apparently too much.

    Given what (did not) happen on eBay, dealership might want to dial down that $20k asking price.

    Agreed. The final price reached on the prior auction would be a reasonable price for this car. But the seller is a dealer...

    Not being too familiar with the GM clamshells... I did not realize they came not "powered". How do you use it manually!? Do you "push" the tailgate down some way and the glass goes up!? And is there a "handle" to grab to pull it back up?

    Rear window is always power. Tailgate can be either. If it is manual, the window has to be up a little so you can pull the door up to latch it.

    If I recall correctly, the manual gates were counter-balanced somehow; lifting and dropping the gate was not as heavy to operate as it might sound.
