Hudsy Wudsy Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Here's a link to a Facebook ad for a '55 New Yorker. It gives no info about the car, at all, but warns you to be serious about contacting the seller: Marketplace - 1955 Chrysler New Yorker | Facebook I'd be careful if I were you! ...and whatever you do, don't tell him that I suggested that you contact him!!!

Xander Wildeisen Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 What if you are serious about getting more information. That might lead to being not that serious about the car. After you seriously review the information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_S_in_Penna Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 And, for our record, further information given in the ad is as follows. It's always helpful to have this information copied into the forum: Mileage: 54,000 Asking price: $10,500 Location: Randolph, Wisconsin The car must be rougher than it looks from the single picture provided, because 3 other pictures show stashes of parts that evidently go with the car.

The 55er Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 You have to carefully inspect these mid-50s Mopars for rust issues, especially cars that spent their lives in the northern states. It looks like that left lower quarter's been repaired behind the rear wheel. Appears to have some oil leaks too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that you need to define the nature of your seriousness to proceed. You might inquire of the seller if he has a general outline of what he will consider serious questions, or if he possibly has a third party designated who is authorized to respond to questions in order to determine whether they are sufficiently serious enough for the seller to entertain. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Wildeisen Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 But you can not even take that first step, unless you are serious. So how does one proceed? With so little information, one can not determine whether or not they are serious. To place the call signals to the seller that you really are serious. But to be truly serious more information is needed. If you need to go through a third party. How would a person trust their level of seriousness about representing a serious buyer and a serious seller. If the seller is truly serious about the sale. I am seriously starting to question the sellers intent, with his statement of serious inquiries only. I mean he can’t be serious? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloo Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I am never a serious buyer. I am at best a sarcastic one. I see I am in good company here. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
