I really like this color. I have saved enough money to offer. It's fairly close.

What do you experts think?

1990 Buick Reatta

Miles are high and the miles were put on in a rust belt state. I'm not real fond of that color. Try this one:
1988 Buick Reatta--MUST SELL!!!

Thanks. I do like the Pewter color but I also love the wine/wine-brgandy of the car I posted.

Mission Viejo is a long way away and the description isn't to descriptive. The comment that he must sell NOW is something I can't respond to. I have the money but it's in a savings account.

I have no problem sending the money and picking the car (a car) up but this seller sounds like he would prefer a low ball cash local offer. Yes - if I had $700 I would be over there in a heartbeat. I think he would take whatever somebody offered.

You may have a real problem if you send the money to someone on CL and pick the car up later. That would be a BIG mistake!

Ronnie,

I understand and have had people keep my money and disappear but I'm not wired that way. I'm a handshake kind of guy. I leave my keys in my car (under the seat) when I shop and I send money. If the seller sounded shady on the phone, then I would not send anything. But if it sounds legitimate and I send the money and never hear from him again, that's OK.

Wow, in that case I have an 89 I want 1000 for, just send me a money order. Craigslist gives all kinds of warnings about not sending money, make sure to look at it first. The cops aren't going to do a thing about it if you send money and get nothing.

Might want to check and make sure it doesn't have title problems if it's in that good of shape for that cheap.

I think I've seen this car before (if being sold by a divorcee). Looks very familiar as does the description. At $1,000, it's a steal!. It does need some interior work and the paint was faded (on the roof), but a good deal for a do-it-yourself kinda guy.

One might wonder if all the oil marks on the driveway are from the Reatta. (it could be water from a wash)

First posting is deleted...hmm.

I like that pewter one. Need to something about shop / garage space though and getting a car here. Actually I do have space if the Rainier spends the winter outside. This is what The Boss drives and it does have a remote starter...hmm.

It would be ideal to find a local / nearby car though. Driving a day with the trailer wouldn't be out of the question, but the border sort of gets in the way of some of that. Sigh.

$1000 for the car,
$1000 shipping
$500 plane fare

$2500 total

You get a corrosion free car and a winter vacation for $2500. Beats changing cradle bushings.
