1976 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser

haha, just kill's you that I'm wright?

let the sell absorb the cost? if someone has taken the time and love to do one rite, I don't think the going to give it away. I agree you never get back all of what you put in a car, and wagon's are not on the hot flip list, but there are people that want them and will pay for a nice car!

the car's that are given away are the one's that need the $$$$

again I just showed you how you could wrap 10,000+ in a car without all the unforeseen thing's that go with fixing a car up. we know it could be way more depending on how far you go with it....

sorry $2000-5000 don't buy you much of a classic car/wagon or a daily driver these day's. that's just not that much money these day's!

I have read guy's saying they want to load the family in the car and go across country with it, are you really taking a 2000-5000 car a cross country? you want the 40 year old ac to work power everything low mile's, a real steal of a car! if you have one that nice are you really going to load the kids in it to trash it?? I know I would not!!

let's be real we all want a real nice car as close to original with all the option's in great shape for as cheap as possible but they are very, very hard to find. not saying the wright place at the wright time may not net you one, but it maybe a long wait and a lot of looking!

I also know I'm the new guy on here, but that don't mean I don't know car value's. I have big love for the clam wagon's and have seen 1st hand how rare they are! I have gone to the Oldsmobile home coming many time's and you don't see them 4 year's ago not 1 there!! 3 years ago there was 3 counting mine 1 was nice and the guy was trying to sell his dead dad's car, the other was a 2000 fixer upper. I love having a car no one else has at a big car show like that! and that alone tells me a little about the car's value!

keep posting them and we can agree to disagree of the price's!!

 

I really don't understand what the point is supposed to be. There are highly original and high option 1971-76 GM clamshell wagons that command premium prices, like this spectacular 1976 Buick Estate Wagon.

If you are not offering something just like that, what's the issue?

 

All this car has is a high asking price. It hasn't commanded anything, yet, so far as we know. We have no idea what it will ultimately sell for, assuming it sells at all, as that information is not provided. The ad may persist on craigslist for many months, which would be an indication that it's not getting much interest. Or it could disappear quickly, but that wouldn't tell us anything, either, as the seller might actually have sold it for something close to his asking price, or he took whatever reasonable offer came along because his real goal was to unload it. Sellers say all kinds of things in their ads. We never know their true motivations.

The bottom line is, asking prices tell us nothing about a car's value. Only selling prices do that.

Which contradicts this 1975 OCC owner completely, doesn't it?

 

Yes it does.
