    Ad text even for that San Francisco listing seems to indicate the wagon's in Arizona. I guess the guy is just getting more exposure. The phone # is for north San Diego county.

    RRBNut, you must be the San Diego reference the seller mentioned to me when I was asking about his wagon. I through out an offer I thought was reasonable and it was rejected as the seller said he just listed the car in multiple areas and is waiting to see what kind of response he'll get. He mentioned to me about the air conditioning and oil leak as well and said there isn't much wiggle room on the price. Oh well.

    Yep this is not a cheap car but this is also probably one of those cases of if you want it then this is the price imho. I would be surprised if this car will last too long even at this price if you compare similar cars of similar condition that have sold for similar dollars this year already. I think the seller knows what he's got!

    Seller might very well be able to get even more than his asking price if he posted this one on eBay. It's possible I think - this is as loaded and nice a clam as we have seen in the last couple of years.

    Breathtaking, to say the least.
    I know I mention alot about what my dad used to say back in the "olden" days, but he was my dad and I was such a wagon nut even back then. I recall him saying he could never see the point of a Buick wagon since Buicks were supposed to be so luxurious. He couldn't imagine throwing stuff in the back of an Estate Wagon and abusing it like we did with all our Fords.

    OK. It's missing at least one factory option. Fiber optics lamp monitors. Beyond that, it's looking pretty well flawless.

    There's some other nice cars in that garage as well....... that Lincoln Continental Mark II would be a fine driver.

    Yep and I can see one other it is missing, as well as the one below... cornering lights... and ONE more... bumper gaurds. lol. :) Other than that, the door panels and seats appear to be the standard panels/seats and not the upgraded panels/seats. :( Still a beauty!

    Absolutely stunning Buick. Those factory wheels really set if off nicely.
