Possible purchase

Going to look at a more of modern Oldsmobile today. Smoking good price on it especially for what it is! The main problem is that my daily driver is being parked at my neighbors (with their blessing) No more holes at home at this point in time.

Every Olds lover should have a "Final 500". Of course if every Olds lover tried to buy one, there wouldn't be enough to go around. ~BOB

Rent a warehouse! Then you won't have to get rid of anything! How do I know this?

This turned out to be a little worse off than I would have liked! Corrosion along the entire front hood Aluminum hood. Deck lid paint was peeling along the leading edge by the window. Drivers seat heat non-functional, fuel gauge had mind of it's own. All tires were dry rotted and life wasn't was long for this world.

Rack and pinion steering had a sluggish input at higher speeds, oil pan was wet. Interior appeared nice and but had dirty tinge to it. Loud clunking noise coming from right rear strut.

Still pondering at the price $2450.00 122K on it. Plus it the Oldsmobile presentation package that went with the car.
