I want it, but sitting on that dirt did it no good - and 7000 is too much for an inop

 

OK Ted: Make 'em an offer! No one's breaking down the door for this. It can be an extremely sharp piece done up your style. Sorry about spending your money though, Mitch

 

Read the ad a little further along and you'll find he won't accept offers, he's pretty sure he alone knows what the car is worth and not any kind of a Buick expert.
Wait a couple of months until he finally figures out the reason why the phone isn't ringing off the hook on this pristine and never abused car that has been so lovingly cared for and safely packed in long-term climate-controlled storage.

 

OK Marc: The market always tells us what our item for sale is worth. When will sellers ever realize this?? Mitch

 

Looks a little better than those "quarry finds" posted here, but not much. Probably just as rusty, and only worth salvage, sad to say.

 

I could not pass it up. I sent the following.

your statement…."FYI to whom it may concern if you think the car is not worth what I am asking then don't call me and offer 3000 thank you in advance"
then everybody shall understand you are proficient in the value of this car at its current condition. if these are your thoughts, you should change your employment to "Mr Know It All". you will make millions in your new employment.

 

The polebarn that houses the Buick, and the several other cars there, looks more like a dumping site.

 

Probably expects you to move all his garbage and dead cars to make it accessible for pickup also.

 

Dead bodies are for sure to be unearthed in that location ha,

 

I wouldn't call and offer him 3000. Maybe 1200, and that's if the brakes aren't locked up, and I don't have to drag it out if there. If it smells of mice, $700

 

Ya know, Tom, maybe $700 is the real price. Extra zero was an accident.
