    I like this wagon. Clean, not one of the ugliest colors, I could live with this one just fine. It may not be perfect but it also does not look like it has seen a days worth of abuse in its life.

    I can't beleve the list of equipment on this thing. Look at that sticker!
    Guy orders it.... "What options would you like your wagon equipped with, sir?" "Everything......"

    I'm hard-pressed to think of anything this wagon doesn't have (that was available then...).

    The only things that come to mind would be cornering lights, front fiber optics lamp monitors and power antenna, all of which I think were available in '77.

    I like this Buick alot, but the transport costs from Washington to Tennessee would be way too high.

    Go look at it. You are close enough. If you drive it and fall in love with it and is what you want...see if you can cut a deal and have them pull it off ebay. It's done all the time. Your car sale will be part of the deal you make.
    Not to mention that we would all LOVE to hear a hands on report on this wagon!

    Hmmm.....a cross country trip in a 35 year old car? That does sound good. What could possibly go wrong? :rofl2:

    Given this is a dealer they may be willing to work a trade on the vehicle you are trying to sell. Throw in a few appraisals for them and you could soon be the envy of many of us on the forum.

    I'm afraid to show the pictures to my wife. We are camped in a kind of remote area. It would be very hard for the coronor to find my body in all the trees.

    I keep going back to the ad and pondering "what is the reserve". This is really a nice car. I will be sick if it sells "cheap".

    I doubt this dealer will let it go too cheap, hence the reserve. I thought the previous sale for $6100 was a good deal. I doubt there is another '77 Buick Estate as loaded with options and well kept.
