dealer wants $14K i am thinking it may be a little high

i am 98% ready to buy but i do not want to over pay for the car i know the value is flexible

 

Welcome, that's a good looking ride. I had a 73 H/O back in the day.
Although mine was a 455 with the dual gate. Does this one have it?
If so, it probably had a 455 originally. If not, I have been told the 350
equipped models didn't get the D/G. Good luck with the decision.
You can't restore one for 14K if that helps at all.

 

The car in the picture is a 1974 not a 1973. There were no 350 powered cars in 1973.


1974 350 cars do not have a dual gate. This car has been for sale for some time.


You will have more feedback on the 73-77 Olds website.

In my opinion $14K is top value for a 1974 350 powered HO. If you want it buy it but you are at the very top of its' value & it will be a very difficult car to re coupe your investment on @ 14K.

 

sorry my error it is a 1974, he had this car listed at $15999 that i thought was way to high and at $14k i am still thinking it is too much and i still have to put in $600 in repairs so now i am into it at $14,600

 

It looks like a nice car, if the interior is as nice I would think at least $11-12k. It's really worth what your willing to pay. Remember even the dumbest 1st offer is a starting point. If you really like the car make the dealer work for the sale.

 

I am going to pass the price is too much he is trying to recoup dealer fees an convance fees as Part of the price $700 in fees he said at $14k he will include shipping is $500

 

You made the right choice. Leave him your best offer and tell him to call you if he wants it.

 

t told him i would pay $12,500 and the shipping of $500 he said no because he does not want to pay the dealer fees not my problem

 

I'd expect a call from him around the first week of December.

 

I have been looking since late summer if not and the cars are out of my budget a nice 23 TBucket will do
