Could use some objectivity:
Ok, I was the 2nd owner of a 1984 Olds Supreme. She is my love. BUT after years of putting a ton of money into her I had her leave my kids and I stranded from the timing chain going out. My plan was always to keep her and rebuild or fix her. At this point, though, I have an old Dodge Street Van that I just had the slant 6 rebuilt and then Holidays. Being a single mom and knowing that the, kids, the mountain dog and I use that van to make money and we fit comfortably in is validating to keep. The Cutty on the other hand, is Moms sweet luxury.
back to the timing: she has 166k original on a 3.8 . Again, a good list -as far as updates. It will cost me 1200 to fix the chain ( which I don’t have, right now) my options: tow it home let it sit until I 1)tow it AGAIN to replace or rebuild the engine -or- 2) cut my losses- tow it home - sell it and get finances together and once kids get older and go get an olds with t-tops ( that would be my dream car) ** if option 2 - is $3k a fair price for all original (a/c-heat works, no tears in interior. New brakes and brake lines, new fuel lines and fuel pump, suspension tight, original paperwork and booklets from dealer,etc…Rust on trunk lid , bumper , headliner loose. Two only bad parts about her.. well radio doesn’t work 😜 does that amount sound reasonable? or do I just keep her 🤪 https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/oldsmob...4c70e7ef6.jpeg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/oldsmob...813c6512f.jpeg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/oldsmob...8a5d3cf2c.jpeg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/oldsmob...20afcc541.jpeg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/oldsmob...02fdb798e.jpeg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/oldsmob...096cf6879.jpeg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/oldsmob...0d8a748b0.jpeg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/oldsmob...b22825090.jpeg |
