Oh god. Do I feel your pain.
I'm even starting to get priced out of the Olds market.
When My 1985 Delta got the driver door backed into about 6 years ago, the insurance company wanted to total the car out with 60,000 miles on it for $700 bucks. Which was the blue book value for a fully optioned 85 with 30000 miles.
I SAID NO!
Now that my 85 is getting beat, (150000 miles) I wanted to buy another one. Everyone wants 5 grand for one with 30000 miles now, and all these car traders are ripping off grandmas across the country, and jacking the price up. (I don't happen to have 5 grand in my pocket.)
I don't care if they stopped making these cars or not. They are not gold, and half the reason they are fun is solving problems fixing them all the time because they are pieces of crap.
I am soon going to be faced with the choice of tearing both my Olds' to pieces and spending a lot of money putting humpty dumpties together again. (which will be fun, but no one gives a crap about an 80 or an 85)
