John M Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Life has been real busy... I do not enjoy working on cars like I used to. With that said I am encouraging my daughter to part with the last vert made. The car is in good shape, 79k. There are a lot of small nit picking items Oil leaks, probable water leak(new). Fog lights are gone, trim items coming loose. Top might last 2 years IF garaged, we do not have a garage. I would like a value idea so we/I can shop a 'new vehicle'.

94 olds vert Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Is this the car that has the signatures on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imp558 Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 I would repair all the little nitpicky things and then ask double book value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pshojo Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 what signatures you talking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imp558 Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 it is customary that as the last of a car comes down the assembly line each worker signs the part they install. I don't think this happens for just every car type, it's only things with a certain clout from what I understand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94 olds vert Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 I have no idea what the value is , but its the last Convertible Oldsmobile will ever make. It has to be worth a value higher than blue book. You might want to fix it up some and try to auction it. To get the most money out of it.

John M Posted October 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 I like the look of this updated forum but, I cannot find anything anymore. I had previously posted a picture of signatures and a phone number under the back seat. If I can find them I will repost, If they are not still on here.

John M Posted October 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Could not find the pictures on my computer. Go here and see what they did to the '92 Camaro http://www.last1992camaro.com/ click on assy pictures.Talk about selling is moot because my daughter is not ready to sell. So I told I could not fix it anymore, she needed to start dating a mechanic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

94 olds vert Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Yes. This site works on Chrome. Click the 'more reply options' next too the Post button. Then look at the tool bar for a image icon. That will allow you to upload pictures from your computer. Or you should be able to upload them with a URL link as well.

John M Posted October 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 More options WOW. This failed so I will make an album... Last one Signatures, only one at a time too, so slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabsOlds Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 It still has the same issues as the ones before it (off the assembly line) that didn't have signatures. Same oil leaks, same manifold leaks! The signatures don't fix nothing. I don't see anybody paying a 2nd car's worth, just for signatures of people he doesn't even know . Just some assembly line workers. Not a second car's worth! No sir! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galaxie500XL Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 It still has the same issues as the ones before it (off the assembly line) that didn't have signatures.

Just some assembly line workers. Not a second car's worth! No sir! Like every other thing we buy and sell, it has no actual value, other than what a prospective buyer is willing to pay. The market seems very soft for our cars these days...but I'd say the owner's best bet is to advertise in publications like Hemmings, where it's not uncommon to find car guys who are more worried about rarity, and history than about age and condition. There's only ONE last Olds convertible...and that's worth something to someone. John M 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabsOlds Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 Yeah. Maybe so. But someone said "double the book value". I don't think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galaxie500XL Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 Yeah. Maybe so. But someone said "double the book value". I don't think so. Considering that "book value" for a Cutlass Supreme convertible iis trending toward the bottom of the depreciation curve, even double book isn't all that much money. In this case, probably no more than say 5-6K, and even then, only a motivated buyer is likely to even consider paying that much. These days, even a poor vehicle, if the running gear is fairly decent fetches close to 2K in some areas of the country . I don't think it's a big stretch to ask more than that for a car already rather rare, with a history behind it to boot. I don't know if anyone has thought about this before, but on most cruise nights, driving a Cutlass Supreme convertible frequently means you're driving the rarest car at the cruise. Very few were made, and even fewer survive. rich_e777 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
