John_S_in_Penna Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 "Just in!" the dealer exclaims in his newest ad. But we know he has had this car 2 months or more. Maybe he is an upstanding man, but I suspect not. If his "just in" claim is a lie, is he also lying when he says "rust free car" and "excellent mechanical condition"? If anyone is honest in business, he can go much farther. A broad base of customers will learn to depend on the word of an honest man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_S_in_Penna Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Thankfully, we see the earlier ad, and then he did not state, "Just in." In an interview, Jay Leno said he judged the character of the seller as much as that of the car. I agree. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexRiv_63 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Looks better after a cleanup and detail, although I hate it when they spray everything with Armor-All. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_S_in_Penna Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 When it was off the market for more than 2 months, maybe the selling dealer had some problem to take care of. The interior certainly looked excellent. Thanks, Fin Seeker, for sharing this find and all the other interesting ones too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder where that car is now? Moby has moved west of San Antonio in the hill country where it get some exercise. It is in the process of getting lots of work done to keep it dependable. Check out the thread "working on the 60 Buick". in the Post War Forum. I go into much detail on the problems and upgrades. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_S_in_Penna Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Now this new dealer is asking $28,900. Since the original asking price was $19,995, and it went unsold for 3 months or more, this shows that no one was really interested at $19,995. Who knows what it sold for? But it certainly reveals a dealer's tactics: He's likely expecting far less than $28,900. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not long ago, he had a 1976 Buick Electra 4-door hardtop, in excellent condition with low mileage. He wanted $35,000! Maybe in today's strong market it was a $15,000 car.
