Check this out! 1984 Regency '98 with 26,000 miles

I just picked up this '98 with 26,028 miles. I still have to sort through it from sitting. The car is very solid. Let me know what you think. I am new to the forum but I am not new to old cars.

Beautiful car; that was a popular color on 88s/98s in that era. What's the owner history of the car?

The story I was told is this car was purchased by a woman who stopped driving at the age of 70. She lived to be 90 when her nephew took possession of it. I think the story has some truth.

I see what some people are asking for similar cars, but does anyone have a realistic value on this car. Asking price and realistic price are 2 different animals

I still have to sort out the issues of storage but think this car has potential. Let me know what you think.

Welcome aboard CO.

At this stage of the game it would be valued just as a low millage used car. The collector value hasn't arrived as yet, time will tell tell if it ever will. Nice car though and you won't find a better riding rig with two doors....Tedd

Nice car Tedd. I agree with your post. My car past has been mostly old Chevy's, but I couldn't let this boat slip away. I'm thinking of cruising the 98 for the summer, then maybe I'll try to find it a new home. Thanks ... Jim

Thing looks like it just drove out of a 1984 showroom. Well done. I agree with Tedd though, you'll have to hold on to it for awhile to realize its value as a collector car. In the meantime ... enjoy!

I had an 83 just like that except it was Fern Gray. Loved that car. Had it for 24yrs. That rose color is sharp...

What is the situation here? Are you looking to buy it, or do you already own it and are looking for opinions on what to do with it?

This is not my first car. General knowledge of this cars value was my intention. I stated in my original post that I was sorting storage issues which I thought would let you know that I own it, but if you didn't get that ... I own it. I dont need help selling or keeping this car.

Welcome,very nice original car.Keep it that way ,cruise and enjoy.If you park somewhere between a late model Vette and a nice Mercedes, it will still draw attention. Someone will stop and tell you,"My Aunt Mirtle had one the same color that she taught me how to drive in." Treasure and enjoy it. Larry
