im thinking about purchasing a 1977 Oldsmobile Delta 88, its a coupe in pretty darn good condition not quite show condition but still pretty nice
it has 78,000 original miles so they say (it does look like it though) i Gold Booked it at 1,900 online and that was for "excellent condition" the guy selling the car is asking 3,000. is it worth it or if not whats a fair price?

Prices are subjective but if you booked it and he wants more...........Would it be worth 3 grand to you? Sad to say there is nothing that makes our Deltas really that desireable or collectable to others so the value isn't there like for a 442 or even a Cutlass. If it was a ragtop I would say it is a fair price but I think he might be asking too much. Good luck though.
