    First of all welcome ! 49's are not a cheap car by no means . I would check some sites like wwwkbb.com or Nada to start your value search .

    Also Buick Club of America has alot of older Buicks .

    Good Luck to you .

    no, 13 000$ it not the asked price, its what nada state,
    actually, seller is asking more than this, the proble is i cant' check if its a deal or a steal...
