Oldsmobile Super 88 Holiday Coupe '53 (Barcelona)

Hello at all,
just find this Olds at 60 km from my house, it's a 2 door '53 Super 88 Holiday Coupe, the car it's siting in this cave for 15 years. Next week i'll check the car, engine, transmission, etc... If it's all ok, it's probably that this Olds come to my home. The seller asks 13k for the car. It's a good Price? Any recomendations to check?
Thanks!!

Pep

Most of us are unfamiliar with the pricing of cars overseas. I guess if you consider the cost of importing, it's probably a good price.

Boy that looks like a super nice car. I think it will find it's way home to you already. The price doesn't sound out of line over here in the US. I am not sure about your prices there but I love the car.

You are rigth, import taxes and duties, shipping quote, registration for Spamish plates, etc... For exemple, 5 years ago, imported from Us a car, that cost me 9k $, shhiping was 2,5k $, import taxes was 2k €, plus 2k for Spanish plates😅

Looks to be a soild, complete car. Not a bad price. Getting the bumpers re-chromed will be costly.

Give 'em the money and just drive it. Last I checked, they aren't making them anymore.

Beautiful Olds! I hope you bring her home. Since you don't have to import it the price is probably fair. You can always have chrome bumpers powder coated or wrapped if re-plating isn't an option.
