The 55er Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Having owned two identical cars as long term daily drivers, I feel the asking price of $18,500 is extremely optimistic for this 150K mile example with rust evident in all the usual locations. Half that asking price would surely be all the money. It's nice to see that all 4 sealed beam headlights are in working order. The light up Indian head high beam indicator however adds nothing to its value. Prospective buyers should open the trunk, lift the mat and check the trunk floors around the rear wheel tubs for any signs of rust due to a leaky rear window. How about some shots of the interior? My last car went 160K before the rust issues just finiished it. Great road cars with cavernous trunks but you will frequently find yourself in the same position as the photographer in the last picture filling that 26.5 gallon tank with mid or high grade fuel. And BTW, they're only 18.5 feet long. I'd still like another one but a Catalina would be plenty big enough for my purposes, and as rust-free as possible please. 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAKerry Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Im not sure I even knew that Pontiac used the star chief name into the 60's. Neat car but not for the price. Growing up mom always had some kind of a pontiac, mostly wagons. I loved looking at the dash from the backseat to see the Indian head on the dash! That alone makes me want to buy it!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillOutThere Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 On the fortunately rare occassion when a seller adds a "GETTING FUEL" picture to an ad hoping to sell a car, a big V8 car, I have to wonder about the thought processes of the seller. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took that picture to mean, 'you better have a wallet full of cash every time you stop at the gas station, which will be often!' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_S_in_Penna Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) For a sedan with 150,000 miles, I say, "Keep going, seller!" Maybe it needs to go down to $6000 before he makes the sale.
