okay. i do recall this car being posted here somewhere before IIRC, which means it didnt sell the first time. if you bid what you want and "win", theres always the chance to make a deal. cash talks.

Well, this one didnt have the last day spike ---- and so it ended at $2750. I might call him back on it ---- but I'm not going $5000.

Hopefully he got a reality check. Good luck.

I don't have a sense what this car might be worth, but I do know that I like it. I'm with several of you, I'd ditch the hood scoop and get the carpet color right. Otherwise it is pretty cool. The Magnum wheels work good on this car.

I seem to remember Granadas being available with 3-speed-with-overdrive transmissions, floor mounted shifter. That would be a kick.

Clean car. I always thought they were odd looking but cool. $5000 is kinda high though. Offer him $3500 and if he takes it, jump all over that deal.

roush235, a friend of mine had one with the 3 speed w/overdive stick shift in it. Pretty clapped out 6 cyliner though.

Well, one of our great members here went to look at the car and, from his description, it sounds like a solid driver.

He said that the carpet was darker (as we've somewhat figured from the pics) and that the paint was good, but not great ---- pretty much a 6-7 out of a 10 car ---- which is not bad ---- but, to me, it's a $3000 car.

I might try the guy again. IDK.

dburdyshaw. I would suggest looking at the floor boards because i know someone who looked at the car and turned it down because he could play with the bottom side of the carpet from under the car. He said there was a rust hole in the floor board.

You dont know how much I appreciate this information.

Many many thanks!
