1971 Oldsmobile 98 - $14,000

Another decent one (seemingly) in central Fla.

Nice party-mobile with a designated driver, 6 people could fit in this easily. At least this one listed a price.

Very nice, but amazingly over priced.

I am of the opinion that if it sells reasonably quickly, then it isn't overpriced "for the market". Overpriced for us cheap bastids still living in the past? Definitely! And I resemble that remark!
If it is *actually* overpriced for the market, it won't sell and he will either keep it at that price and hold onto it OR reduce the price until it sells. Depends on the level of urgency (or lack of) that he wants to sell it.

Looks like a really nice car but seems overpriced to me. There is a market for these big cars but not like the market for A bodies.

I agree with both of you that it seems overpriced. I would give $9-10k if it doesn't need anything mechanical. I may watch it for a while. Would be fun to own at my advanced age (59). LOL

Absolutely true. How many people in this day and age care. It just isn't there.

One: People don't give one crap about this car. Gas mileage etc.

Two: People have zero clue or knowledge about keeping it on the road. We are old. Fools can't even spell anymore. Tune a carburetor?? 🤣😂

This car will just go down and down on price. Nobody can tune it. Nobody cares. Super clean car but this world today could care less. Look what you can buy for 14 Grand.

Don't think that's an unreasonable price.
As far as tuning, the quick fix is FI bolt on for those unsure. It's what you're looking for , the target buyer. If I compare that to pieces of junk and asking prices, what a dollar gets then there's worse things to waste a buck on.
