20 year old caddy. Decent shape, decent miles.

CP. Better choices out there for almost 7K

Crack pipe. Way too much money for something that old regardless of how few miles are on it.

As someone here who actually, y’know, KNOWS about D-Bodies and their value, this is a mad decent price.

werent these very similar to the B platform? I know they made the switch to the iron head LT1 in 94 like the Roadmaster/caprice, and ran the L05 till then. I only point this out because B body cars keep going up in price too.

It's like the B, but bigger. Because it's the D.

CP: i imagine 7k could get you an equivalent mileage later model S class or 7 series. granted, the caddy would be cheaper to maintain, but still.

slightly high, but not crack pipe, good negotiation price. I’d say it’s worth $6-6.5k The lack of LT1 hurts it a bit.

cool car nonetheless

Seems about a grand too high to me. Since these were the transport of choice for the Methuselah set, they’re usually low miles, well-kept cars. But, maybe they’re starting to get harder to find.

That fleetwood is a better car in every conceivable way than a similar vintage 7 series or S class.

every conceiveable way? i admit i dont have any experience with the cadillac. but spent a bunch of time in an e38.

and i know we love hyperbole, but its just not better than this... in every conceiveable way.

Nice Price all things considered. I saw one at a Mazda dealership, in that same beige color. little over 100k on the odometer, in really nice nick, 3500 bucks. Considering how uncommon they are, and how they're either overpriced or beat to hell, it's a very good deal indeed.
