I believe the seller, Larry reads on here occasionally. Larry, if you happen to see this and you feel that $15,000 is not an insult for this car, please contact me. It would interest me a lot more if it is in that price range.

Also, if anyone is in southwest Saskatchewan and would be willing to look at it to give their opinion on it, please contact me also. I have spoken with Larry the seller. He seems like a very reasonable, genuine type of guy. It seems that he is being straightforward about this car. However, as you all know, everyone's opinion of what is excellent/very good/good/average/fair/poor condition is. That is why I would like a second set of eyes to go over it.

 Carl-that sounds fair enough

I thought I would post here rather than contact him. I don't want him to think I am just wasting his time. I have spoken on the phone with him for quite a while, emailed a bit as well. Pretty much we are at this point now where I have an idea what I would be willing to pay if I would see the car and like it. It may be a bit unusual to do this on a public forum rather than in PM but how much time can I spend talking and talking with him if he feels we are not moving forward?

If I get no reply here, I may PM him what I've said here and see what happens.

I sure don't see any sign of a rebound in the classic car market at this point, do you?

Just my 2˘:

The old car market seems to still be going down, not up at this point.  I still see a lot of higher priced stuff on the market, but most of those I've seen have been for sale for a long time - years in some cases.  From following other old car forums it seems that the stuff that is priced lower in accordance with the current market trend is selling whereas the ones that haven't been adjusted just remain for sale.  Project cars have taken a really big hit as well, it appears.  I don't think that the prices of 2006 will be back for a long time, if ever.

Just an observation, but I think that anybody wanting to hold out for a market rebound will probably just end up taking a larger loss in the long run, not to mention having their money tied up that much longer (and potentially paying storage fees on top of that).

Here in Canada, most areas of the country will be looking at the snow/salt season within the next month or so after which the old car market will all but die until the spring - so anybody who doesn't sell within the next little while should be prepared to hold onto it for another 6 months at least.

Buyers from the US are far fewer than they were just a short 5 years ago, since their economy seems to have taken an even worse hit than ours.  Not to mention that the Canadian $ has pretty much stayed on par for the past couple of years.  There's no indication that the Americans will see a 75˘ Canadian dollar for some time yet.

Again, just my opinion, but I think that anybody who wants to sell a higher-end vehicle would be better off to take a "loss" now than hold out hoping for a market rebound.

FWIW, I think your offer seems very reasonable, Carl.

Carl I well remember the early 1990's when you couldn t sell anything after some very strong years. As for recovery the demographics are different this time along with people's finances and job situations. That said everytime I make a "realistic" offer on something I get told I'm out to lunch. Best is to enjoy the hobby buy what you like and can afford no use being concerned about retaining value cause in reality not many of us are making that huge of an investment. As for the only chance I don't believe that-theres always another one no matter how rare

It is called a "hobby" for people like most of us, and not a "business". Some people want to make it into a "business".

I think the collectible car "hobby" hit it's zenith a couple years ago, and prices will continue to to go down, eventually stabilizing and levelling out (who knows when), much like the collectible card "hobby" has.

That big car is a steal in the teens   but not everyone wants a big Pontiac  

If I was not so lazy I would send him 15,16,17 and have him ship it

 I just hope that the seller thinks it is also.  Good luck with it!
