AnniesSS Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 So I've sold the Burb and have been looking for another vehicle. Requirements: Clean! Runs well (it will be my daily driver) Can be entered into HPOF or DPC Late 60's-'94 station wagon or Blazer (I'd love a full-size one but am sure it will be out of my price range) I'm fairly comfortable with going up to $10k. I know it's not a lot, and my choices might be slim, but it's what I've got to work with If you're bringing it to Hershey - post the photo here and where you will be so I can take a look Thanks!

auburnseeker Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I bet alot of guys selling in the Car corral, especially later model, don't view these forums so keep your hopes up and look in the swap meet as well. Lots of cars for sale in vendor spaces and sometimes a better deal and overlooked by buyers as they are not lined up in a big row like the car corral so you actually have to hunt for them. I told my wife if I was going to sell cars, I would get a vendor space or two and sell them there. Longer period of time for exposure and you can use it as your base to buy from. Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnniesSS Posted September 30, 2018 Author Share Posted September 30, 2018 Thanks so much! I've got my fingers crossed that I'll find my next baby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I'll have my computer with me and if I see anything in the swap meet that fits the bill, I'll post the space I saw it and the price/ specs in the evening when I get back to my motel incase I stumble across anything you might have missed. It's a good place to find what you are looking for, especially with all the stuff coming in from the south and west. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlier Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 The last few years I have seen more interesting 1970s and 1980s vehicles in the car corral. One memorable one was a 1980s Ford Fairmont Station Wagon in a light blue color. It was LOW miles and in Great Shape and was only $3500. You never know what you will find in the car corral so keep your eyes open, put your comfortable shoes on and bring your checkbook. If you happen to be in the car corral on Thursday morning you might see me too since we normally go through the corral that day. I will also be at the show on Saturday. This year I will have my DPC car at Hershey. Hope to see you at Hershey somewhere. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cars in the Hershey car corral often start out overpriced, but be persistent--visit every day--and you'll see some becoming realistically priced. If you come to Fall Carlisle the week before, you'll see that their car corral has plenty of cars in the years you've specified. In fact, those years constitute most of the cars there. I have seen a car fail to sell at Fall Carlisle, and the seller will take it to Hershey with a higher asking price. Cars from the 1970's and up, when realistically priced, should fulfill your wishes well!

As the week at Hershey winds down (ie Friday afternoon or Saturday morning especially), some sellers reevaluate their asking price on unsold cars. The thought of having to take the car home and store it all winter often prompts them to be more inclined to reduce their price. Charlie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Bond Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Annie, can't believe you sold the Burb! I'm sure you'll find something to love in the field somewhere. Can't wait to see your post when you do find it. Drop by and say hi when you can - GCC5-6. If we're not there were out shopping. Terry 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old car fan Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 ANNIE,what are you after.Why did you sell it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnniesSS Posted October 2, 2018 Author Share Posted October 2, 2018 Why did I sell it? I had a buyer lol And I want something smaller, although my husband thinks a station wagon isn't smaller, only shorter! What can I say?! Thanks for the words of encouragement guys! I'm really looking forward to the search. BTW, I've volunteered to work the Membership Booth on the Chocolate Field 2-4 Friday! Come say hi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gossp Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 When you find yourself overloaded with sellers remorse from getting rid of the burb, I have one just like it sitting in my back yard.... well, just like yours would look after sitting in a back yard in Indiana for a decade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnniesSS Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 Sadly, I found nothing that caught my eye in the car corral or the show field. I'm still looking tho!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlier Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I thought of you when I saw a few of the following in the car corral. Especially the first one. Some of the late 1980s and early 1990s pickup trucks were interesting too. Charlie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnniesSS Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 The owner of that Suburban made me not want to buy it. He was quite rude so I walked away lol Definitely nice stuff out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, the flea market fields had a (very) few rude vendors as well. On the bright side, the vast majority of the vendors were VERY Friendly and Pleasant to deal with. That is what Fall Hershey is all about. These friendly vendors also made a rainy Thursday easier to bear. Was also GREAT that more vendors decided to stick around to vend on Friday.
