91 Caprice...2 years later.....

....and has jumped from several used car lots to now be at a lot close to work. I have viewed this wagon....It's a $1000 when I saw it this past summer up island. My 87 Buick is over all better body/paint/interiour condition. This wagon was for sale before I got my 83 Crewzer and became a member here.

It is not even close to this clean in person....

 

That's surprising it's not that clean in real life. The pictures sure do make it look mint.

 

It looks good wet....notice the picture. I suspect they very fast dryed the windows.....this is'nt the car you would see if you came to look at it. I'm not saying it's a junk heap BUT this car has been driven and used. The paint ...it needs a paint job...the interiour is clean but has not been taken care of. The wheels are in need of some serious polish....I could go on.

 

Looks sorta like my 96. Except mine IS mint.
I find those wheels on there really fugly!

 

I see those aftermarket alloys on a lot of cars - yup, fugly. Hard to describe my preference in wheels. Like describing good art - I'll know it when I see it. And what looks good on one vehicle may not look good on another vehicle. Probably one of the best combinations I've ever seen is those OZ wheels on a B-body wagon. Can't find a'wagon' pic right now, but here's the wheel, on a Roadmaster sedan...

 

Reminds me of the photos of my dad's 86 estate wagon before I bought it. The seller sent several photos that showed a glossy finish, even the woodgrain. He must have just washed it and then armor-alled the sh*t out of the trim and woodgrain just to snap the photos.

Dillholes. I friggin hate sellers who do that just to get you down to the dealer and then waste your time trying to get you to buy it.

Hope it wasn't too far to travel to. I drove 750 miles only to be completely disappointed and left with a dilemma: not buy it and drive another 750 miles back and return with no car or figure out how to fix up this POS. I chose the latter of the two and it took me 6 yrs to fix it for my dad.....

I agree, esquire. There's nothing worse than getting to a car that has been doctored and grossly misrepresented. I recently talked to a guy that had a car I was interested in. We talked several times on the phone and he sounded honest and he was a mechanic with his own shop so I figured he would know cars and not BS me. I told him I was a car guy and that I didn't want to get there and find out it was junk. Told him I could spot a good or bad car in the first minute and that rust was my biggest issue. Even told him where to look for rust on this particular model car (Subaru). Anyway....he convinced me so I rented a car dolly, drove 2 hours one way (glad it wasn't farther), only to find a rust bucket. Too bad, too; the rest of the car was in good shape. BUT...the point is, I TOLD him that the BIGGEST issue with me was rust. The worst thing about the car was serious rust. Why do people lie? Do they not KNOW that the prospective buyer has eyes???

 

you gotta be kidding me
thats my buddy's old wagon...i helped do the motor swap in it...and one of my club members painted it !!!

a Gnotes not bad for it tho

heck...i cant get a G for my 91 Roadkill..

 

A Gnote would be fair.....but they want almost 4 G's

 

I agree Krash. I have a lot of trouble figuring out what I like, but when I see it, I just get a feeling and know. I'll not go into the feeling I get from what's on that Cappy.

 

I will take the 944 in the background thanks!

 

HHmmmmm. I saw this wagon while driving home today...as it was going the other way. It did look nice today, looked like alot of "clean up" happened because it did'nt look that good a few months back.
