Well, since I've gotten a chance at one... Reply #21 – September 08, 2006, 11:20:46 AM I asked the guy several times about the reserve, he finally told me "The reserve is around $10,000"Wow... It may be rare, but it doesn't mean it's worth money yet. Good luck guys, if the reserve is 10k, I'm out of this one, he can keep it. Quote Selected

It's in Illinois too so it can't be that far from me. On the subject I almost flipped my Buick yesterday because I saw a tan 86 Cougar convertable. I've seen the car around my neighborhood the past few summers and that thing is mint. I have to talk to this guy at some point but he's always driving in the opposite direction from me.

Well, since I've gotten a chance at one... Reply #25 – September 08, 2006, 04:15:35 PM I've stayed out of this discussion on purpose...but I do have to chime in, now that the reserve price has been revealed. This is only to let everyone know the facts about this car, as observed from the photos.- It is an LS model.- It appears to have once had a glass back window, but was replaced with a plastic one at some point. That happened to me also so don't hold that against the seller.- The trunklid liner appears to be missing.- The Car Craft badge from the trunklid is missing.- If you observe...there are no vent windows. Very odd.- The weatherstripping on the window trim can be replaced with universal stuff. The top w/s, though, is specific to the top (Buick Riviera). So far I have not located that trim. It may be possible to still obtain it via a GM dealership parts department.- The passenger side seat belt receptacle is broken (that's a major shock, I know).- At least one of the armrest covers is missing.I bring all of this to attention in order to relate them to the reserve price of $10K US. Mine did not cost that much when I bought it 10 years ago, and it had a V8 with leather seats. And fewer miles, come to think of it. Is it a fair price? I don't know...that particular car was about $25K US when it was brand new. The body looks straight (no noticeable dings or rust). The top looks okay for now, probably could use replaced. If everything was in order, fixed, or new, then I could see paying around $10K for that car. Otherwise it's a little hard to justify that IMHO. It needs some work (some of it general maintenance, other things more immediate to keep water out of the car). That work is going to cost somewhere around $3-5K US, conservatively. In the end it will have a total cost of $15K US...and will still be a V6 car with cloth seats.Not passing judgment...again, just observations from a fellow convertible owner. I think it's important information that potential bidders should know, that's all.That being said...I am totally in love with the interior color. I don't believe I've ever seen the high series door panels in Regatta Blue before. Beautiful. I almost had that top color, also, when mine got redone a few years ago. Makes me wish I would have now... Quote Selected

Well, since I've gotten a chance at one... Reply #27 – September 08, 2006, 05:22:15 PM I mean no disrespect to anybody but I personally think the interior of that car looks like poo! It has 4 different shades of blue (maybe more) and the wood grain dash mixed in:yuck: The car itself is nice but I would keep the top up if it were mine! Quote Selected

Maybe he's trying to make a quick buck off of it. Honestly with a description as shiznitty as that, I'm amazed it was found on eBay. Quote Selected
