The car is nice, the buy it now is insane. If his reserve is anywhere near that he'll have that car a good long time before someone pays it...it's still 19 years old and I don't care how nice it looks it will have hidden mechanical problems. If the records are correct the car hasn't been driven in 5 years (the last service was in '01 at 18,622 miles). That can be worse than buying a car with 100K+ miles on it. The SEL is not a "rare" car or even all that desireable...if it was an SL, then, yes, I could see someone paying $30K-$40 for it...but for an SEL...I'd think if he could get half what he's asking he'd be doing OK.

I mean, what's someone going to do with this...put it in their living room or a museum? No, they are probably going to drive it and if you pay $33,000 for it and put 40-50,000 miles on it then it will be worth $3000 like every other 80's SEL...at least if you bought a new car for $33,000 it would still be worth nearly half that after you put 40-50,000 miles on it. With this one, the only way it holds any value is to be put in a garage and never driven...like I said...it's insane.

My $0.02.
