You clearly don’t get me at all. They sent me an email recommending... THIS.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

I have never seen or heard of one of these in my life, and I’m pretty sure I know why.

Jesus, it looks brand new. I’ve never seen one of those in person, let alone that clean

These were really common in the midwest 10-15 years ago. Even back then they didn’t sell for what these jokers are asking!

My dad had one for a while. Not an awful car, 40mpg or so, never really gave him any trouble, pretty basic post malaise era econobox.

He sold it for $300 when he bought his jaaag.

For a brief moment in time, I drove the 2-door Olds Calais version of that Skylark, in nearly the same color, and had friends who owned the Grand Am variation. Nothing worth any attention at all. And I can’t believe how badly that Skylark nose has aged, seemed “death-race” interesting back in the day.

My parents owned one when I was younger. The only nice thing I can say is that it was a supremely comfortable ride.

My high school had a four-door version for one of their drivers ed cars. It was one squirrelly little crap-box.

I was reading somewhere that these things fared better in crash tests than the other N-Body variants thanks to that beak.

40mpg? I have a hard time believing that

I dunno about that price, but it’s got a few things going for it. Low miles, VERY clean, GS model, and an eye-catching design (considering you don’t see many of these on the road anymore).

Years ago my grandparents had a Park Avenue and when they wanted to replace it my Grandfather took then teenage me with him car shopping.

First stop was the Buick dealer where the above pictured skylark had just been released, we didn’t stay long or drive it. He ended up buying a lumina instead.

That was the best we ever got, actual calculated average over a 700 mile trip to Canada and back. Normal driving was 34 or so.

I pass by this car twice a day. It’s blocks from my house. BUY IT!
