'94 Cutlass Cruiser

This guy is quickly finding out these cars just don't pull very much money even when in perfect condition. He started out at $6999. I think he's doing well if he gets north of $3500.

I'm only guessing. But in reality I don't believe many are selling for the asking prices or the prices they show as sold unless they are rare and earlier wagons.

 

I'm just going by the asking prices I see these cars for sale on CL and other outlets when they disappear. I've seen some real nice Cutlass Cruisers with low miles listed over the last year. A few have started out in the $4's and slowly worked down from there. Granted I don't know the actual selling price so it could be even lower than I think, but most don't disappear until their asking price is in the mid-low $3's or upper $2's.

 

Sellers need to check real sale prices and keep theirs reasonable. To me I wouldn't want to spend a lot of time talking on the phone and showing a vehicle that people won't buy because it's too expensive.
Price it right and let it go.

 

Plus, who would want to have a car "for sale" sitting in your driveway, or in front of your house for months, while maintaining insurance and upkeep.

 

Unless it's in a barn, then all bets are off!

 

Pretty sure this guy bought this at an estate sale or something similar for cheap and is looking to make a big score. I can't blame him for trying to make some money, but no way this thing brings $6k. People weren't clamoring for these when they were new. 20 years has not changed that.

 

Barn Find? :banana:That adds at least $1000 to the price. $500 more for decent rust.... oops, patina!
Some neighborhoods don't allow cars being sold or parked without license or insurance. Not sure how some of these people do it.
Glad we live in the boonies. Now I'm getting scared about where we are gonna move. :confused:

 

I also deal in vintage drums. Ludwig, Slingerland, Gretsch, etc. People are starting to use "barn find" or "survivor" to describe old kits found, and "patina" to describe scratches and/or fade on the finish. I tell ya, it's getting ridiculous out there.

 

These are really great wagons, except for a transmission shudder problem. They're just not $7K worth of great.

 

Nathan is a Montana car dealer who lives in San Diego. He has a LOT of cars for sale at any given time. He's had this available for a couple years. It is a very nice car. Cloth third row which you rarely see in A-body wagons (usually on Olds and Buick if any on A or B wagons).

This wagon was $3500 at one point. It's car buying season explains why it's back up.
