    From the Hemmings AD:

    “The care rolls on Buick’s 14-inch chrome wheels, which the seller says are free from blemishes and curb rash. They’re used with BFGoodrich Radial TA tires that are 13 years old and have about 3,000 miles on them.”

    Does a properly maintained vehicle have 13 year-old tires ? They should be replaced at 6-7 min regardless of mileage . Plus , they’re 1-5 years old off the shelf brand new . makes you wonder if they’ve done Any maintenance , fluid changes annually etc. ?? No mention of that .

    Non working AC , corroded battery cable , wrong radiator , rusted exhaust , paint bubbling up on the deck lid ..

    An excellent cared for vehicle would’ve had a gardener exhaust, fresh poly glass tires and the paint work repaired . depending on AC repairs looking at about 5k to bring it back up to snuff . Plus a professional cut buff & polish after the paint repair , Add another $1200.

    At BARE Min get some new radial tires & clean the corrosion off the battery cable . :eek:

    The description isn’t of a “ worth more “ now vehicle . But credit to the seller for their honesty of the problem areas .

    You stated that car will sell for less than the 30K it sold for before.

    Despite your nit picking, I still believe you are wrong. Time will tell. Let's check back in 9 days.

    Oh it’s Not not picking at all , just replying it wasn’t properly maintained , and needs some $ thrown at it to bring it back up to snuff .

    Over 45,000 Buick members on this site , if it’s really worth more make a listing for free on here ( no auction fees ) at 50k and see if any Buick enthusiast bite . It’s well documented how shady auctions are .

    That's inclusive of buyer's fees. The auction resets to 3 min. for ea. new bid (BAT is 2 min.). Reserve was around $32k (I didn't watch exactly when it came off). Not great but not a bad deal for either buyer or seller. Probably more so in the buyer's favor. The seller didn't do themselves any favors by not correcting some little items but it met their reserve so they should be pleased enough. Screenshot_20210607-175808_Chrome.jpg
