Greetings from Jax Possible Roadmaster Owner

I have been in search of a roadmaster wagon love the rear jump seat and vista roof and think I may have found the one, this is at at tow yard not far from my house.its a 96 with an LT1... i looked at it today and it runs like a top and interior is excellent only issue is left quarter panel is rusted through at the bottom behind the fenderwell and car needs paint ... he wants 25OO I offered 2 we finally came to 2350,,,, he said to call him back monday and he will bring title with him (he is owner of tow yard car is in) is this a decent price for this car and how much can I expect in quarter repairs? Any thoughts or advice are greatly appreciated Thanks

 

Welcome goldenroadie96!

 

hello and welcome. even the cheapest maaco paint job will still run you several hundred and the 1/4 repair depending on how mush is rusted and how good you want it repaired can run several hundred to thousands. you may wanna either learn how to do the repairs yourself or drive it as is. otherwise save your money a bit longer and get one in a little nicer shape. you can also check out gmlongroofs for a lot of help with those style wagons

 

aboard.
Perhaps you can do the rust repair yourself, depending on your capabilities and how much rust we're talking about.. The same with the paint. If you prep it yourself and bring it to Maaco, I'm sure you'll be able to save some shekels. ..or as '59 wagon man mentioned...wait till a better one comes along.
They're great wagons, and comfortable road trip cars.

Good luck!

 

Thanks for the welcome and great advice... took your advice and talking to my stepson and his friend yesterday am going to pass on this Roadie and and keep looking as this will be a lifelong decision ,,,,, still considering a Roadmaster in my search though... glad to see some fellow Floridians too!
