That is one sweet lookin Caddy. Don't find many like that. Cherry. I might be tempted to keep it locked up for a few more years. Enjoy!

Re: Bought a land boat

This could only happen to me!!! :( <br /><br />I talked to the seller this morning.<br />Last night he was driving the car, when a dear ran out in front of him. Being such a heavy car he lost controll trying to aviod it and ended up kissing the garud rail. He says the cop told him it was about $800-$1000 worth a damage, it didn't sounde like the panels where really dented in, but like he maybe sideswiped the whole left side of the car.<br /><br />He says that its still forsale, but I won't hold me to the auction price. He said that he needs to get $2,500 out of it, and I can have it for that.<br /><br />I was looking forward to a virgen car that has never been repainted or hit, but depending on what it looks like I think I'll buy it the way it is.<br /><br />I can fix it myself for almost nothing at school.<br />Gonna try to get up there to look at it this afernoon.

Don't be afraid to walk away Ryan... It wasn't the only clean car out there. What HE "HAS" to get out of it may not be what it's worth. Not your problem that he doesn't have insurance for those things.

Hey Ryan, you going to install spinner hub caps, gold trim all over and curb feelers on that cruiser? Be sure to dark tint the windows too.<br /><br />Oh yea, real wide white wall tires

Re: Bought a land boat

What a waste of my day!!!<br /><br />I call the seller this morning, he tells me that last night he sideswiped a guardrail with the car, I can have it for 2500 as is. Hey, I’m in the Auto Body busness, I can fix it right?.... NOT<br /><br />I go all the way to Wells Maine to see it, an hour and a half drive. The condition of the car before this accident was MINT it was the best looking old caddy I've ever seen, looked better in person then in the picts, no rust anywhere!<br /><br />BUT....<br />This ******* was coming home at 5 in the morning from doing God knows what, it looks like he drove off the road doing about 80 mph into a muddy field, there was mud all over the car, he was spinning the tires in the mud, the passenger door is pushed in, needs to be replaced, rear quarter is a mess, needs to be cut out and welded, the frame needs to be bent back, front and rear bumpers need to be replaced, both tires/rims/hubcaps on the passenger side are junk.<br />It's got about 6 thousand in damage if you where to pay a good body shop to do it. Being so old I'm sure the insurance company will total it.<br /><br />The guy lied to me, he told me it happened last night, but I was told its been sitting smashed for three days. He wasted my WHOLE day, he wouldn't even show up, and its a good thing he didn't because I would have ripped his freaken adams apple out!!!! Its a crying shame too, the car really was mint before he ruined it. It happend three days ago, he never took it off auction or even told any of the bidders that he smashed it up<br /><br />He must have been drunk or high when it happened, because no one in there right mind would do this to a car, it looks like he was spinning his tires in a ditch for a half hour.<br /><br />Oh well..... :-(

Re: Bought a land boat

The worst part was,<br /><br />I was on the phone with him walking around the car telling him what was wrong with it, and he was hearing it for the first time from ME!!<br /><br />He hasn't even looked at the car since it happend, he says it was dark and he didn't think it was that bad. <br /><br />I basicley spend my whole day to tell him that his car was totaled. :mad:
